WATCH: Djokovic reveals locker room ritual in Head ad

The Serb let's it all out before his matches.

Published Apr 18, 2017

In a newly released commercial for Head, Novak Djokovic showed off his pre-match locker room ritual: a free-spirited dance.

He let's it all hang loose, partly as a way to relax ahead of a big match, and partly as a joke (surely).

The world No. 2 may be needing those rituals this week in Monte Carlo where—playing in his first match (other than one Davis Cup rubber) since Indian Wells—he won an opening-round comeback saga over Gilles Simon.

Djokovic also got off to a good start in doubles (with Viktor Troicki) over Simon and Gilles Muller.
