The storyline was so similar. Both Messi and Djokovic were in their 5th and final attempt to win WC/Olympics against Babygoat Mbappe/Alcaraz. Both showed similar emotions after winning it all. Moment of immortality.
I'm completely stumped man, Djokovic has outdone himself at this point. Given the context and everything, it is one of his greatest achievements. Nothing tops this. He is the undisputed GOAT now, and I will never debate further.

This is a terrible cover up. When you give a whatsapp "missed call" it only appears on reciever's phone and not on sender's. If you are trying to cover things up then do them properly.
😳🇪🇸🥇👏 Carlos Alcaraz, when asked by Alex Corretja about his message to Spanish fans for the final:
“To the Spaniards who watch me on TV, tell them I am going to put on a show in the final and that I am going to give them what they want: the gold (smiles)”

BREAKING: Emma Raducanu has pulled out of tonight's mixed doubles, citing stiffness in her right wrist. Sadly, Andy Murray has played his last Wimbledon match.

Ridiculous - whether it was accidental or planned. You get tested twice with a banned (steroid) substance… you should be gone for 2 years. Your performance was enhanced. Massage cream…. Yeah nice 🙄

Stop with the Nadal's luck narrative for RG. He had to go through a peaking Felix in R16, Djokovic in the night session in QF and Zverev indoors yesterday. Yes, he was lucky yesterday but he was also winning the match before the injury took place.
Juan Carlos Ferrero on Carlos Alcaraz's Injury:
I have advised Carlitos to wear the same knee cap as Djokovic. It has magical healing powers and he'll be set to win the title in 2 weeks.
Crowd against him, scheduling against him, umpire against him, toughest possible opponents in r16 and QF - an exit was inevitable. But his main character energy really gave the tournament the life it needed. What a pleasure, Holgie!
Steve Smith scored 19 hundreds in 41 tests from the start of 2015 to Ashes 2019. 11 of them being away from home . We will never see a peak like this ever again.
Carlos Alcaraz is single-handedly carrying the goddamn Olympics. Guy's solely generating unmatched level of aura alongside his eye-pleasing tennis when every other event has been dismal.
On this day in 2008, Abhinav Bindra won India's first ever individual Olympic Gold. Hakkinen and Bindra were tied at 689.7 before the final shot and Abhinav shot a 10.8 in the most important shot of his life.
India's greatest individual sport Olympian.
Nick Kyrgios' charge dismissed by the judge after he pleaded guilty. Canberra judge said the publicity of the trial, the time that has elapsed since the incident, and the fact that it appeared to be a one-off incident, meant the case did not warrant a conviction
@smh
@theage
When someone rightfully calls Kyrgios an a*user, he says he's cleared of the charges according to courts.
But when Sinner himself is cleared, he's trying to frame him as a villain 😂😂. Guess someone's still salty over Miami'22 🫢
When the lights are on and the pressure is high, only the best come out on top. On this day in 2015, Steve Smith showed why he is one of the greatest big match players of all time.
Isner ends his professional career at the US Open in a 5th set tiebreak
There were times in the last 10 years where John was literally the only American man in the draw
He carried American tennis.
But he also represented it with so much kindness.
Never forgotten, Big John. 🥹
Some days I’d even argue that winning Indian Wells or Miami is actually more prestigious and leads to more off court opportunities than winning Roland Garros. Which is an actual GRAND SLAM tournament. 🤷🏽♂️
I'm telling you. Give Holger 2 more years, he'll fix everything that's wrong with this tour. He isn't a PR trained bot who plays it safe. He speaks against injustice and unfair treatment. I can see him becoming POTUS in a few decades.
Meaning what
@atptour
…..? Not that you gave me the best conditions in the first place having to play 2 matches the day before ending late , leaving almost no recovery time. Chair Umpire making crucial mistakes and giving wrong warning that disturbed the game. May the force be
@pavyg
some really interesting information about how quickly this is in and out of your system. ‘Billionth of a gram’ all this bs - you have professionals saying that gels and creams are a good way to dope lol
Rafael Nadal after seeing Holger Rune in his section:
'Losing to Holger would be the fitting end to my career in Rome. He's the best clay-courter since me and I'll hand him the baton, should he come through.'
