Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic made tennis history at the U.S. Open when he won his 24th Grand Slam. It tied him with Margatet Court for the most championship titles and puts him one win ahead of Serena Williams who impressively (and unsurprisingly) earned 23 wins.


Djokovic’s first stop after securing the major win was to head to the stands and wrap his 6-year-old daughter in a big hug. How sweet is that? Djokovic’s wife Jelena handed Tara to her father and he was visibly emotional, crying and embracing his little girl who gave him the biggest smile. Tara’s big brother Stefan, 8, was also at the finals cheering on his dad.
