Zizou Bergs captured the spotlight not just with his on-court performance but also with his post-match celebrations at the French Open. After securing a win in the second round, Bergs orchestrated a one-of-a-kind chant involving Belgian fans in the crowd.
On the court, Bergs shouted in Flemish, “Waar is da feestje?” (Where is the party?), prompting an enthusiastic response from the crowd, who chimed in with, “Hier is da feestje!” (Here is the party). This chant, borrowed from fans of the Belgian national soccer team, created a lively and memorable moment at the tournament.
The French Open’s official account shared footage of Bergs’ celebratory scenes, highlighting the joyous atmosphere created by his unique post-match festivities.
