Moments After the Conclusion of the Austrian Open, Winner Sebastian Baez and Loser Dominic Thiem Engage in a Hilarious ‘Champagne’ Struggle

Sebastian Baez took over the match against home favorite Dominic Thiem as he proceeded to win in style on Saturday after delivering an amazing performance to triumph at the ATP 250 Generali Open. The Argentine’s near-flawless performance on the Kitzbühel court left everyone speechless.

However, what made the match more fun and memorable was the struggle Baez and Dominic faced as they tried to celebrate the victor with a champagne shower. As the two tennis stars struggled to pop open the bottle with all their strength, everyone watched on in amusement. Moreover, the funny moment got caught on camera as well!

Fans and onlookers couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of the tennis stars grappling with the uncooperative champagne bottle. The girls standing behind the players gave amusing (read: confused) expressions as the two continued to pop the bottle open. Eventually, with a bit of teamwork and persistence, Baez and Thiem managed to open the bottle and shared a well-deserved toast.

After this match, Sebastian also shared how he loved had loved winning the tournament. He further described how the entire week had been sensational for him despite setting up a clash against the fan-favorite homeboy Dominic Thiem.
