Kevin Anderson lost his second round match to Frances Tiafoe 4-6 6-4 6-4 7-5 in a major upset on the third day of the Grand Slam on Wednesday.
Anderson took a medical time-out mid-way through the four-set match before becoming the highest ranked player to be ousted from the first major of the year.
After sealing match point against the South African, Tiafoe slapped his right bicep, thumped his chest and roared at the terraces.
“It means the world to me, I lost to Kevin three times in 2018.
“I would love to get to the second week of a Slam and if you guys get behind me like you did again, then its going to be pretty easy for me,” Tiafoe said.
American Tiafoe, ranked 39 in the world, will play Italy’s Andreas Seppi in the third round.
The feat will at least equal his best performance at a Grand Slam, having made the third round of Wimbledon in 2018.
