Heart-breaking tribute: Novak's camera lens dedication to Kobe and his daughter Gianna!
Novak did not stop at words
After his semi-final victory over Milos Raonic, Novak Djokovic had an emotional moment as he dedicated the triumph to Kobe Bryant.
John McEnroe first asked a question about Kobe, and it was evident that Novak wanted to address it even though he was despondent. Novak wore a shirt with Bryant's initials and his LA Lakers jersey numbers, and recalled how much Kobe meant to him. As soon as he mentioned Kobe's daughter, tears started to rolling down Novak's face.

Afterwards, Novak made his way to the locker room forgetting to sign the camera lens - which is something customary for a match winner. As soon as he realized he had forgotten to do it, Novak quickly grabbed a marker and wrote the initials of the LA Lakers ace, along with, "Gigi love you" - a dedication to Bryant's daughter who died along the famed basketballer on Monday.
