Novak Djokovic defeated Daniil Medvedev to win the US Open and his 24th grand slam title.
In the match against Medvedev, it took Djokovic three hours and 17 minutes to defeat his opponent 6-3, 7-6, 6-3. The Serbian tennis star is now tied with Margaret Court which they have held since the 1970s.
As the tennis star made his way to the player box to celebrate, Djokovic pulled out a t-shirt to honor his friend Kobe Bryant. The graphic tee that said “Mamba Forever” had a photo of himself with the late basketball star.
Djokovic’s was not at the US Open last year due to the tennis player not being vaccinated and refusing to do so.
His win was even more special as it’s his wedding anniversary and said he wanted to take the title for his wife as he did back in 2021.
“I’m really living my childhood dream,” Djokovic said as he thanked his parents, his family and his team.
