During their match, Federer kept acing Serena, to which the American legend had a funny response. Recollecting that incident, Tiafoe said, “Yeah, I think she’s really funny. Obviously, you guys see how fierce and the passion and stuff she has on the court. She’s very funny outside of it.” 

Further, he went on to add, “Super easygoing. I can remember when we played mixed in Perth, we were playing against Federer and Belinda. She gets aced by Roger twice.”
