Novak Djokovic defeated Daniil Medvedev to win the US Open and his 24th grand slam title.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Djokovic talked about his tribute to Bryant on the court following his win. The champion said he thought of the idea of making the t-shirt in case he won but didn’t share it with anyone until he asked for help in making it happen.<\/p>\n

“Kobe was close, close friend, we chatted a lot about, about the winner’s mentality when I was struggling with an injury and trying to make my comeback — work my way back to the top of the game,” he said. “He was one of the people that I rely on the most. He was always there for any kind of counsel advice, any kind of support in the most friendly way.”<\/p>\n

He continued, “What happened few years ago and him and his daughter passing hurt me deeply and I thought, 24 is the jersey that he wore when he became a legend of Lakers and world basketball. So I thought it could be a nice symbolic thing to acknowledge him for all the things he’s done.”<\/p>\n

Djokovic’s was not at the US Open last year due to the tennis player not being vaccinated and refusing to do so.<\/p>\n

“I’m really living my childhood dream,” Djokovic said as he thanked his parents, his family and his team.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
