Last year’s US Open gave Frances Tiafoe his dream moment! The moment that he will never forget and the one that marked the beginning of his tennis destiny. It was that very time when he defeated the 22-time Grand Slam champion, Rafael Nadal, and even covered his run to the semi-finals of a Grand Slam for the first time.

Now, a year after the dreamy run, the 25-year-old sat down and discussed the same moment through his eyes. Along with that, he also revealed how his coach, Wayne Ferreira, enjoyed the victory in the most memorable way ever.

Frances Tiafoe revealed his coach’s binge-drinking memory 

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.
