Serbian Tennis star Novak Djokovic had a heartwarming conversation with a young fan outside the US Open court as he was heading inside the arena. With the young fan serving Lemonade to players outside the court, the 38-year-old thanked her for it as she revealed about being quite excited to see Djokovic play.
Djokovic, who already has 24 grand slams, is still vying for a landmark 25th to etch his legacy into the sporting folklore. The 38-year-old had missed out on achieving the same in French Open 2025 and Wimbledon as his campaign ended in semi-finals on both occasions.

"It's just age, the wear and tear of the body" - Novak Djokovic after Wimbledon 2025 semi-final defeat
Having lost to Italy's Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon 2025 semi-final, the Serbian had admitted that his age is catching up with him soon. He had said, as quoted by BBC Sport:
"It's just age, the wear and tear of the body. As much as I'm taking care of it, the reality hits me right now, the last year and a half, like never before, to be honest. It's tough for me to accept because I feel like when I'm fit, I can still play really good tennis. I've proven that this year. Playing best-of-five, particularly this year, has been a real struggle for me physically. The longer the tournament goes, the worse the condition gets."
Djokovic lost in the Round of 16 in the mixed doubles category as he teamed up with Olga Danilovic against Mirra Andreeva and Daniil Medvedev. The Serbian has won the US Open title on four occasions (2011, 2015, 2018 and 2023).
