How did @FTiafoe do, @KingJames?#AusOpen #sleepisfortheweak pic.twitter.com/6bgSbGd9pp
What an outstanding week for Frances Tiafoe.
The 20-year-old American knocked off Andreas Seppi in a five-set thriller and will now look ahead to a fourth-round match against 20th-ranked Grigor Dimitrov at the Australian Open.
Tiafoe chose to celebrate his victory in style, using Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James' "The Silencer" move as the crowd chanted his name.
It's the second time in as many matches that Tiafoe has honored James, as he used the King's patented bicep slap after a four-set win over No. 5 ranked Kevin Anderson in Round 2 of the tournament.
