Emily Ratajkowski couldn't contain her excitement as she watched the men's singles final at the U.S Open on Sunday.
The model, 32, settled in alongside Justin Theroux, 52, at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center as they watched Novak Djokovic win his record 24th Grand Slam title after he beat Russia's Daniil Medvedev.
The Vogue cover star put on a very animated display during the game, looking visibly shocked by the action on the court.
She was dressed to impress for the game, opting for a strapless grey dress with black knee-high boots.
Sitting by the pair were actress Lea Michele and her husband Zandy Reichm who wound up sitting behind comedienne Ziwe Fumudoh.

Their appearance at the tournament came just nine months after Ziwe interviewed Lea's Glee co-star Amber Riley about allegations of racism on the show's set.
In 2020, Glee star Samantha Ware accused Lea of having 'racist tendencies' - something Ziwe grilled Amber over in an awkward interview in December, leading to an awkward moment at the Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev face-off.
Adding further fuel to the fire, Watch What Happens Live producer Frank Costa tweeted an image of the seating and penned: 'Lea Michele sitting behind Ziwe and Emily Ratajkowski at the US Open. I need a full breakdown of any & all interactions'.
Images taken of the foursome at the match did not show the duo speaking at any time and there is no confirmation of an exchange.
Scandal erupted in 2020, when Samantha made her accusations towards the show lead, claiming that she abused her on-set - in an echo of claims made by other stars.
The bullying allegations came to light after Lea took to social media to pay tribute to George Floyd, who was slain by police thus sparking worldwide protests and the origins of the Black Lives Matter Movement.
Taking to Twitter at the time, Lea wrote: 'George Floyd did not deserve this. This was not an isolated incident and it must end'.
Samantha, who appeared as Jane Hayward on the show's sixth season in 2015, swiftly hit back: 'Remember when you made my first television gig a living hell?!?!...
'Cause I'll never forget... I believe you told everyone that if you had the opportunity you would 's*** in my wig!' amongst other traumatic microaggressions that made me question a career in Hollywood.'

After Lea vowed to 'be better' in a statement - yet insisted she did not remember any of the moments Samantha recalled - the latter gave an interview in response.
Speaking about the 'traumatic microaggressions', she said: 'Am I calling Lea a racist? No. Does Lea have racist tendencies? I think Lea suffers from a symptom of living in this world in an industry that is tailored to white people.'
Following this, Ziwe spoke to Amber, who played Mercedes Jones on the Fox comedy-drama, about whether Lea was racist.
Ziwe said: 'Now, speaking of getting down in the muck, you said that one of your famous coworkers wasn’t racist. Did you mean that she was?'
Amber took a few moments to try and figure out how to respond, before asking Ziwe politely to move on to the next question, adding: 'I don't know how to answer that.'
Amber then defiantly stated that she wasn't sure what co-worker Ziwe was referring to because she had so many, when she played the video of Riley saying she didn't think Lea Michele is racist.
Ziwe then asked: 'Would you say that your famous coworker doesn’t see race and is, in fact, rude to all of her coworkers?'
Amber diplomatically replied: 'I think that she would probably say she doesn’t see race. But as we discussed earlier, everyone does'.
