href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/novak-djokovic\">Novak Djokovic\u2019s<\/a> press conference ahead of his opening match at the Indian Wells Masters gave a compelling insight into why he is still flying around the world and competing at the top of the sport.<\/p>\n<p>His 39th birthday is looming large in May, with the prospect of the Serbian legend playing until he is 40 a new phenomenon at the highest level of a sport as demanding as tennis.<br \/>\nHis run to the Australian Open final in January that included an epic win against Jannik Sinner fuelled Djokovic\u2019s belief that there is more glory left in him, even though he has not won a Grand Slam title since the 2023 US Open.<\/p>\n<p>Yet his presence on the global sporting stages may no longer just be focused on winning tennis tournaments, as the sight of Djokovic on a tennis court has become the perfect advert for the brand he is building.<\/p>\n<p>The arrival of lead adviser Mark Madden in Djokovic\u2019s business empire has changed the focus for the Serbian over the past couple of years, with his regular appearances at major events and award ceremonies marking a clear effort to use his global fame to create a new era of success.<\/p>\n<p>Major sponsorship deals already in place will continue long after Djokovic finishes playing and his arrival in Indian Wells coincided with the release of his new wearable infrared fabric that stimulates circulation and accelerates recovery at the cellular level.<\/p>\n<h2>More Tennis News<\/h2>\n<p><a

and ranking points revealed after exit<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This will be worn on his arm during practice and in matches, with Djokovic keen to speak about the importance of his newest product and how his continued presence in tennis is vital to promoting it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just proud of that partnership, and it\u2019s right down the alley that I\u2019m the most comfortable with in terms of my passion, in terms of how I want to develop my brand and my businesses, my investments, wellness, longevity,\u201d he told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHealth space is something I deeply care about, something that is also very authentic and close to me as I live it on a daily basis and try to be kind of a testament or an example of the products or the businesses or brands that I\u2019m part of or partnering or setting up or launching.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think nowadays with so many products and companies and brands out there, it\u2019s not easy to navigate what\u2019s good and what\u2019s authentic and original and what\u2019s made or created or developed with high integrity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I feel like one of the best ways is to have an ambassador or partner or whoever that is a face that really embodies that. I try to do that. Not just because of the businesses but because I have done that throughout my entire career, and that\u2019s actually, that kind of philosophy is the very reason why I\u2019m still competing at this high level and being able to compete at the highest possible tennis professional level.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Want more from Tennis365?
