Novak Djokovic Celebrates U.S. Open Win with 'KPop Demon Hunters' Dance

New York, Sep 3 (AP) — Novak Djokovic delighted the crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium with celebratory dance moves after his U.S. Open quarterfinal victory against Taylor Fritz. The dance, inspired by the popular film “KPop Demon Hunters,” was taught to him by his daughter, Tara, who celebrated her 8th birthday on Tuesday. After securing a 6-3, 7-5, 3-6, 6-4 win, Djokovic met Fritz at the net and then broke into the dance.

The 24-time Grand Slam champion referred to this victory as a special gift for Tara, who was not present at Flushing Meadows. “We are at home doing different choreographies, and this is one of them,” Djokovic remarked. “Hopefully I'll make her smile when she wakes up in the morning.” Tara is expected to give her verdict on his dance when she watches the match on Wednesday.

During his on-court interview, Djokovic explained that the choreography is from “KPop Demon Hunters,” a Sony Pictures/Netflix movie that has become a global sensation, dominating the streaming charts. The film portrays the adventures of the fictional K-pop girl group HUNTR/X as they battle demons, captivating audiences worldwide with its art, cosplay, covers, and dance routines.

In addition, the “KPop Demon Hunters” soundtrack has made a significant impact, debuting at No. 1 on Billboard's Soundtracks chart and reaching No. 8 on the all-genre Billboard 200. (AP)
