NEW YORK -- After 14 days of tennis, it's finally over. The US Open winners have been crowned.
On Sunday, it was Novak Djokovic. He overcame a 95-minute set, the longest of the tournament, to beat Juan Martin del Potro 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-3.
Djokovic tied Pete Sampras for third place on the all-time Grand Slam list with 14. He has now won Wimbledon and the US Open in the same year on three occasions (2011, 2015 and 2018).
"I was hoping [Pete Sampras] was going to be here tonight," Djokovic said during the awards ceremony. "But he is not. Pete, I love you. You are my idol."
After his latest performance, it's a safe bet Sampras is admiring Djokovic as well -- along with many others. Here's a look at those who expressed congratulations to Djokovic.

Given what I've watched and how well @DjokerNole has played the last few months #Federers #GrandSlam record may well be broken by #Novak. @Wimbledon @usopen @AustralianOpen @rolandgarros

While Streep was beside herself, Jerry Seinfeld had more of a skeptical look.
