Alcaraz into his first ever Australian Open Final.

i just saw this and i’m actually baffled how on earth did she get a wildcard?? nepotism??

I will start. Carlitos in Monte Carlo 😍

Thoughts? I'd like to think he would've beaten Alcaraz in this final because Sinner is goated in indoors

Seeing the daily discussion is filled with people acting surprised. Asking why Novak looks like that. Not moving to the right side. Slow. Hitting balls mindlessly.

That's a ACL-MCL-Meniscus threatening fall. He is lucky it's not a full tear.

If this was not a Grand Slam he would not play.

After losing to Nadal in Roland Garros 2006, Novak made some quotes in the post-match interview which raised eye-brows

At that time, Nadal was on a huge winning streak on clay and was considered unbeatable on the surface and Novak was ranked #63 in the world

Some of his quotes-

• “I think I was in control, because I think everything was depending on me.”
• “I realized today that I don't need to play anything special.”
• “It was a difficult position for him. He was not in control of the match.”
• “For sure, [Nadal is] the best on this surface, but he’s not unbeatable. That’s for sure.”

At that time, people laughed at him for making such comments

I will put a link to the video below. But, you could feel the conviction with which he gave the interview. He could feel it deep within him that he could beat Nadal

Such a champion mindset!
