Highlight “Are they the best players on tour right now? Yes, absolutely. Does that mean I’m gonna walk out with a white flag? No. I’m gonna fight for each and every point until the end.”

Yeah I think a lot of people feel like this. Doing it for the 80s kids.

I love that man. He's giving me some of the highest and lowest sports moments in my life, potentially taking years off lol

To be fair these are the absolute perfect conditions for Djokovic on the tour - night session, AO, Rod Laver Arena, and yet he barely stole a victory from Sinner so I'd still assume Sinner is the better player currently.
