The Atlanta-born explained to his team captain John McEnroe about his
celebration by stating: "Dialled in. That's what we call that. We're dialled in,
Johnny Mac!"

the world of tennis after he suffered a defeat against Serbia’s legendary star Novak
Djokovic in the US Open.

securing a win in the semifinal of the fourth and final Grand Slam of the year in
straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-2, 7-6.
