If you are a tennis fan, you might have seen the moment when the current 10th-ranked tennis player defeated this Spaniard last year. If you have not, you can watch it again as it was a part of the Netflix tennis documentary, “BreakPoint” part 2.

Well, recently, when the reunion of the series took place in New York, the 22-year-old US Open semi-finalist, according to ATP tour coverage, talked about how his South African coach Wayne Ferreira celebrated his victory against the 37-year-old tennis legend in the most epic way ever.

Tiafoe said, “He was into it, He was going nuts! He was drinking; he was doing the whole thing. By the time I got to the car, he was already loaded. I’ve never seen him smile so much, so that was pretty cool.” 

To celebrate the moment, the 51-year-old former tennis player enjoyed a binge drinking episode, showing a relieved side of his coach. While the South African tennis player had never gotten too high or too low, the American tennis player’s victory let him enjoy in a total different mood.
