The ATP World No.19 lauded Pegula on Instagram, where he uploaded a couple of stories highlighting the latter's magnificent win over the World No.1.
"This girl giving an absolute lesson to the world number one today, congrats @jpegula way to start us off team cap," Tiafoe wrote.
In a separate Instagram story, Tiafoe called Pegula his "dawg," a slang term often associated with a close friend.
Team United States will continue their semi-final clash against Poland on Saturday. Hubert Hurkacz will square up against Taylor Fritz before Madison Keys locks horns against Magda Linette. Later in the day, Pegula will join forces with Fritz to take on the Polish pairing of Iga Swiatek and Hubert Hurkacz.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
