New York [US]: After his US Open title win, which also marks his 24th Grand Slam triumph, the Serbian tennis legend Djokovic paid tribute to late Basketball legend Kobe Bryant. Djokovic levelled with Margaret Court’s record of 24 Grand Slam titles after securing the US Open title, beating Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in an extremely fatiguing final in New York on Sunday night. After the game finished and he shook hands with his opponent, Djokovic put on a blue-coloured shirt saying ‘Mamba Forever’. ‘Mamba’ was one of Kobe’s nicknames. The num-ber 24 at the back of the shirt was also Kobe’s jersey number. (ANI)
