Novak Djokovic delivered more than a stunning tennis performance during his US Open quarterfinal victory.
On Tuesday, September 2, the Serbian tennis player faced American tennis player Taylor Fritz, securing 6-3, 7-5, 3-6, 6-4.
After defeating Fritz, the 24-time Grand Slam champion recreated a viral dance performance dedicated to his daughter’s eighth birthday.
The fans were also delighted to see the tennis star performing a choreographed routine to “Soda Pop” by K-Pop Demon Hunters, a fictional group from the Netflix animated hit.
Djokovic’s daughter, Tara, turned eight on September 2 but was not present there.
While explaining in an on-court interview, he stated that the choreography was her idea, “It’s my daughter’s birthday so this is a big present for her. Actually the dance in the end, she’s going to rate me tomorrow how the dance was because she told me how to dance. It’s K-Pop Demon Hunters and ‘Soda Pop’ is the name of the song.”
He also admitted that her daughter introduced him to the global K-pop sensation, “Obviously it’s a big thing globally for teenagers and for kids, but I didn’t know about it before my daughter told me a few months ago. So we’re at home doing different choreographies and this is one of them, so hopefully I’ll make her smile when she wakes up tomorrow morning.”
