Player Profile
Current Equipment — 2025–26
Djokovic strings at 27–28 kg (59–62 lbs), among the highest on tour. His hybrid setup means the natural gut mains play softer than full poly would at this tension — the gut provides feel, the Luxilon crosses give spin.

Playing Style & Technique
Djokovic is the greatest returner and defensive player in tennis history. His two-handed backhand is the finest on tour — he can redirect pace from extreme angles and hit outright winners from positions most players could only block back.
Where Alcaraz and Sinner win points through aggression, Djokovic wins through neutralisation and patience. He absorbs pace, redirects it, and waits for opponents to make mistakes. His serve is elite with exceptional placement.
How his equipment supports his style: His hybrid setup — natural gut mains for feel, Luxilon Alu Power Rough crosses for spin — is a classic tour configuration. The PT113B pro stock is heavier and more stable than the retail equivalent, suiting his plow-through return game.
🤔 Should you copy Novak Djokovic's setup?
Djokovic's hybrid stringing (natural gut + Luxilon) is one of the most recommended setups for club players who want power, feel, and durability. His tension (27–28 kg) is high for amateurs, but the concept translates: try a hybrid at 22–24 kg (48–53 lbs) for a Djokovic-inspired result.
