“Novak Djokovic vs. Tennis Machine” marks HEAD Tennis’ second video ad campaign with the Serbian tennis champ, and after last year’s viral success with over 1.9 million views, they’re hoping Djokovic will surprise tennis fans yet again. Unlike last year’s video that played off Djokovic’s comedic impressions of fellow tennis stars like John McEnroe and showcased his sense of humor, this year’s video exposes a different, more intellectual side of Djokovic off the court that may intrigue his fans that are used to seeing his goofy side. But Djokovic does have a way of doing the opposite of what’s expected, including his pivotal wins at the Davis Cup and emotional loss at Indian Wells.

Novak Djokovic is yet to be tested at this year’s Australian Open as he came through another straight forward match against Lukasz Kubot winning 6-1 6-2 7-5.
Of the eight men left in the competition Djokovic has had the easiest draw and has come into some fine form in the last week.
Djokovic need just twenty eight minutes to wrap up the opening set as there was little resistance from Kubot, who made it to the quarter finals after his fourth round opponent Youzney had to withdraw with injury.
I was more of the same in the second as Djokovic, who is hoping to get his hands on the Australian Open title for the second time after winning in 2007, needed another thirty three minutes to take a two set lead.
However Kubot wasn’t finished and finally in the third set Djokovic had a match on his hand as the Pole began to fight back. »
