WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE I AM

I’m his crying wife

You have to understand the part that’s so iconic about this is this isn’t a clip of him winning the tournament this of a clip of him coming in fourth

Wait if he came in fourth why did he say “that is right I did it I’m number five”?

I didn't even question this at first, but the notes turned me on to the fact that it's misinfo. This is Pete Weber winning the 69th US Open in 2012, which was his fifth time winning this tournament. I assume this is why he yells NUMBER FIVE despite coming in first. Here's his explanation for his iconic victory yell:

Being caught up in the moment of throwing the strike and being as excited as I was, I had a kid rooting against me during the match, and he was doing it loud enough for me to hear. And it kind of made me mad, and people know, don’t make me mad on TV, ’cause I’ll just get better. But what I really wanted to say was, ‘Who do you think you are rooting against me? I’m the man of this tournament!’ That’s what I really wanted to say.

He was yelling at a rude child. 😌 (Also according to the linked interview, he likes that his iconic nonsense is a meme now.)
