In a hilarious video, the 17-time Major champion can be seen sitting next to the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov – whom he beat later to achieve the milestone – watching the match and his reaction is a delight to tennis fans.
Here is the video:

Federer on Friday became the only male tennis player ever to win 300 Grand Slam matches.
The four-time Australian Open champion got the better of Dimitrov with a 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 win in two hours, 40 minutes under the closed roof on Rod Laver Arena and he is now up against Belgium’s 15th seed David Goffin in the next round.
