SKOR.id – Novak Djokovic baru saja menorehkan rekor baru sebagai petenis pria pertama yang mengoleksi 24 gelar Grand Slam dalam sejarah.

Petenis 36 tahun itu berhasil menambah koleksi gelar Grand Slam-nya setelah sukses menjuarai turnamen US Open 2023, Senin (11/9/2023) pagi WIB.

Di babak final, Djokovic mengalahkan Daniil Medvedev (Rusia) dengan kemenangan straight set 6-3, 7-6(5), 6-3.

Ada yang spesial dalam upacara penyerahan trofi juara US Open 2023. Dalam momen tersebut, Djokovic mengenakan kaos khusus bertuliskan ‘Mamba Forever’ dengan gambar dirinya bersama mendiang Kobe Bryant. 

Tak lupa di bagian punggung kaus tersebut, tertera nomor 24, yang menandakan jumlah gelar Grand Slam yang dimiliki Djokovic sekaligus nomor punggung yang dikenakan Kobe Bryant saat sang legenda NBA masih aktif bermain.

Djokovic ternyata melakukan hal spesial ini untuk memberikan penghormatan kepada mendiang Kobe Bryant yang wafat bersama putrinya, Gianna Maria Onore, dalam kecelakaan helikopter pada Januari 2020 lalu.

Dalam pidatonya di hadapan ribuan penonton yang memadati Arthur Ashe Stadium, New York, Djokovic menyebut Kobe Bryant sebagai salah satu teman dekatnya dari sesama atlet yang bisa ia andalkan.

Petenis Serbia itu menambahkan bahwa dirinya dan sang mendiang seringkali berdiskusi tentang ‘mentalitas pemenang’.

“Saya terpikir untuk membuat kaos ini nantinya jika saya mendapat kesempatan untuk memenangkan turnamen, itu sekitar tujuh hari yang lalu,” katanya. 

“Saya tidak membaginya dengan siapa pun hingga beberapa hari yang lalu ketika saya meminta orang-orang saya untuk membantu saya membuat kaos ini.”

“Kobe adalah teman dekat, kami banyak mengobrol tentang mentalitas pemenang, ketika saya berjuang dengan cedera dan mencoba untuk kembali, berusaha kembali ke puncak permainan. Dia adalah salah satu orang yang paling saya andalkan,” tutur Djokovic.

Juara Grand Slam 24 kali itu kemudian mengakui bahwa meninggalnya Bryant dan putrinya itu sangat menyakiti hatinya. 

Oleh karena itu, Djokovic selalu ingin memberikan penghormatan kepada mantan bintang LA Lakers itu jika mendapat kesempatan, yang akhirnya ia lakukan di New York akhir pekan ini.

“Dia selalu ada untuk segala jenis nasihat, dukungan apa pun dengan cara yang paling ramah,” Djokovic menambahkan. 

“Jadi tentu saja apa yang terjadi beberapa tahun yang lalu dan meninggalnya dia serta putrinya sangat menyakiti saya.” 

“Dan saya pikir, Anda tahu, nomor 24 adalah jersey yang dia kenakan saat menjadi legenda Lakers dan bola basket dunia. Jadi saya pikir, Anda tahu, itu bisa menjadi hal simbolis yang bagus untuk mengakui dia," kata Novak Djokovic.
