A tennis player drank maple syrup during a match and it was the most Canadian thing ever

Canadian tennis player Vasek Pospisil just chugged a bottle of maple syrup halfway through a match — and it was possibly the most Canadian thing ever.

On Sunday, the 29-year-old tennis player took a quick break from his match against Gael Monfils at the Open Sud de France to refuel with the syrupy drink.

Fortunately, cameras caught the hilarious event.

Has a tennis player ever been endorsed by a Canadian Maple Syrup manufacturer? 🤔

Maybe @VasekPospisil should be the first? 🇨🇦#OSDF20 pic.twitter.com/dIccmOwM0w

Pospisil may have lost the match to Monfils, but he won over Canadians everywhere by sipping on Maple Joe.

The athlete even took to Twitter to endorse his surprising drink of choice, calling it "rich in nutrients" and "shockingly good in coffee."

Maple Syrup 🍁:

Best Sports performance drink.
Anti-cancerous properties.
Rich in nutrients & minerals.
Fights against terrorists.
Shockingly good in coffee.
A great friend.

You’re Welcome, World.

Naturally, Canadians have been losing their minds.

This person came up with a hilarious caption for the video.

When they keep mistaking you for being American...

This person is ready to give Pospisil a place in Canada's Sports Hall of Fame.

This American NHL team makes sure to keep plenty of maple syrup on-hand for their Canadian players.

We always kept a bottle the bench for Canadian guys. The syrup got them going. pic.twitter.com/5ryq52Z3aa

And this person compared it to the iconic Canadian saying "I smell burst toast!"

This might be the most impactful Heritage Minute since “burnt toast”. #cdnpoli https://t.co/U1cw3yBKfQ

Canadian tennis player Bianca Andreescu even took a moment to salute her fellow countryman, saying it "doesn't get more Canadian than that."
