Updated 10/09/2018 at 01:17 GMT
Juan Martin Del Potro and Novak Djokovic were full of praise and love for each other after the Serb won the US Open final for his 14th Grand Slam.
Djokovic claimed his second Grand Slam in succession and 14th in his illustrious career with a 6-3 7-6 6-3 victory at Flushing Meadows.
The 31-year-old, who triumphed in New York in 2011 and 2015, sealed his third title at the final Slam of the year with a hard-earned straight-sets win over the Argentine.
Del Potro, who was very emotional at the end of the final - his first since he won at Flushing Meadows back in 2009 - gushed over his opponent in a moving speech.
In turn, Djokovic spoke of his admiration for the Argentine, who has endured a raft of injuries since his sole Grand Slam title in New York.
Very classy from both players.
