How does it feel to win the biggest title of your career and crack the top 20? Pretty darn big, if Diego Schwartzman’s delightful celebrations are anything to go by.
In the moments after his victory over Fernando Verdasco to claim the ATP 500 title in Rio, there was:
Moving and shaking …
When you can't quite control yourself… ????

And more singing and dancing.

Very happy.
And he likes to sing as well. pic.twitter.com/ejE05FcUAc

Imagine the reaction if he were to win a Masters title or crack the top 10?
We hope we’re there to see it.
