Something is being loaded.

Monday at the US Open, Frances Tiafoe paid respect to Serena Williams by donning Williams’ “GOAT” hoodie before and after his victory over Rafael Nadal.

Tiafoe stunned the competition by overcoming four-time champion Rafael Nadal 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 to go to the quarterfinals for the first time in his 24-year-old career at Flushing Meadows.

Tiafoe entered the court prior to the match wearing a hoodie bearing a list of Williams’ 23 Grand Slam victories.

“GOAT” was emblazoned on the front of the hoodie, which was produced by Williams’ own apparel line “S by Serena.”

After defeating Nadal, Tiafoe donned the hoodie for an interview with ESPN, during which he expressed his love for Williams, who played her farewell match on Saturday.

Tiafoe stated, “Clearly the greatest of all time, Serena Williams.” “She is unquestionably the reason I believe I can do the things I am doing.

“For example, when I was younger, I told my father that I might become a professional tennis player after watching her and Venus compete. It’s astonishing that two individuals that resemble me and I can do this.

“She forever altered the rules. As stated previously, her name is synonymous with Tom Brady, Tiger Woods, and Michael Jordan.

She is in an entirely different stratosphere.

Prior to his victory over Nadal, Tiafoe had coveted one of Williams’ GOAT sweatshirts for quite some time.

According to Essentially Sports, Williams released the sweatshirt earlier in February, but it immediately sold out.

Williams then announced on Instagram in June that the item was back in stock.

Tiafoe posted the image to his Instagram story with the caption, “I need one.”

Since then, the hoodie has once again sold out but is available for pre-order.
