You couldn't really ask for a better day with your idol.

A young fan watching tennis star Novak Djokovic practice for the U.S. Open yelled out "Will you marry me?" to the five-time Grand Slam winner.

As the crowd roared with laughter, Djokovic waved the boy down onto the court to serve a few balls of his own.
