Christopher Virk-Brown takes a look at the three versions of the new Head bags designed for Novak Djokovic
We saw Novak Djokovic dominate during the 2020 Australian Open and capture his 17th grand slam title earlier in the year. To coordinate with the new Speed racquets, Head has released their new lineup of Djokovic Tennis Bags which we saw the World No.1 use down under.
Tennis Express’ Christopher Virk-Brown gives us the skinny on the three versions that tennis players can find on the market.
For the serious players out there, The 12R Monstercombi is the largest of the group carrying up to 12 tennis racquets, and features 2 main racquet compartments, one with Climate Control Plus Technology to help protect your racquets from the elements. In the middle are 2 separate compartments: one ventilated for shoes or wet apparel, while the other fits extra gear and accessories. There’s an additional interior accessory mesh pocket and on the outside are 2 small zippered pockets. On bottom are padded backpack straps and on top are grab handles for easy carrying.
The Djokovic 6R Combi Tennis Bag is essentially the same as the 12 pack, but with a little less space in the middle. There are two main racquet compartments to fit up to 6 racquets. One of the main racquet compartments is lined with CCT+ for extra protection. There’s no separate shoe compartment, but there is enough room in one of the large compartments to toss in your shoes or extra clothes. On the outsides are 2 zippered accessory pockets, and on the bottom are padded straps.
Proud of our two world number 1 players. 🌏1️⃣🔝 What else does the year have in store for @DjokerNole and @ashbarty? #TeamHEAD pic.twitter.com/iDd2fYDs5D

The streamlined “DjokoPack” is perfect for players on-the-go, or coaches. It has a slightly distinguished shape with round edges and an elegant black design. The main back compartment is padded and fits up to 2 racquets securely with very cool locking zippers. There’s another large compartment that has enough room for extra clothing, towels and even an ipad, tablet or large gadget of choice. On front is a smaller zippered pocket perfect for personal items like your cell phone, wallet or an extra set of string. On the sides are 2 smaller zip pockets for loose accessories, and on bottom is a separate ventilated shoe pocket. On the back are padded backpack straps along with mesh padding to protect your bag from getting sweaty after play.
