Following the match, Djokovic was quoted as saying by WTA, “To make history of this sport is just something truly remarkable and special. Obviously in every in every possible way, in every possible meaning of the word special. It is hard to describe in words. I had a childhood dream when I was seven, or eight. I wanted to become the best player in the world and win the Wimbledon trophy. That was the only thing I wanted."

“But then when I realised that, obviously I started to dream new dreams and set new objectives, new goals. I never imagined that I would be here standing with you talking about 24 Slams," he added. Coco Gauff Makes History As First American Teen To Win US Open Title Since Serena Williams in 1999
