Before he steps on the court to aim for his 8th slam title 'hand-in-hand' with his Barricade tennis shoe Novak took some time to encourage his fans to help him smash the silence.

Fans should share their images or videos on Twitter or Instagram using #smashthesilence to have a chance to appear alongside with him. The outcome is the ultimate surprise a'la Novak!

'Every Grand Slam has its own unique atmosphere that makes each one of them special. What I can always count on are the amazing tennis fans and vibe they create on and off-site. It was a long 18 months for me before winning my 7th slam title in July, but they were always standing beside me and believing in me. The support I get from my fans gives me the strength that goes above and beyond training. Their support helps me feel more powerful in critical moments! That's why I'm looking forward to showing them my appreciation with some special footage during the US Open. Just make sure to follow #smashthesilence to see!'
