Djokovic pays tribute to Kobe after French Open win

[ad_1]

Novak Djokovic won his 23rd career major on Sunday, and he said he channeled his inner Kobe Bryant heading into the big match.

Djokovic on Sunday defeated Casper Ruud 7-6 (1), 6-3, 7-5 to win the French Open. The win was his 23rd in a major, which gives him more singles titles than any male player in tennis history.

To celebrate the feat, Djokovic put on a custom-made jacket that had the number 23 stitched across the right breast. Since the jacket was made ahead of time, Djokovic was asked if it was an indication that he knew he was going to win. Djokovic said it was all part of his “Mamba mentality.”
