But, Seyboth Wild seized the opportunity to make a name for himself in the tennis world by using his powerful forehand to dominate the match — even amid the windy conditions.

"I have watched Daniil play for my entire junior career, up until today. Playing on this court against this kind of player and beating him is a dream come true," Seyboth Wild said during his on-court interview.

"Walking on court, I just wanted to get to the net as much as possible and use my forehand against his, and it worked pretty well."
