"Perfection is impossible.
In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches.
But what percentage of points did I win?
54%
In other words, even top ranked tennis players win barely more than half the points they play.
When you lose ever second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot.
You teach yourself to think:
'Okay, I double faulted...it's only a point.'
'Okay, I came to the net and I got passed again...it's only a point.'
Even a great shot, an overhead backhand smash that ends up on ESPN's top 10 playlist – that too is just a point.
Here's why I'm telling you this.
When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world. And it is.
But when it's behind you, it's behind you.
This mindset is crucial – because it frees you to fully commit to the next point with intensity, clarity, and focus."

🎙️ Roberto De Zerbi: "I've already forgotten Moises. I am really proud for the players we have in the squad. We have to complete the squad. We want to improve the squad.
Big clubs can buy players but they can't buy our SOUL and our SPIRIT. That's not on the market." 👏

@sportbible Biggest hypocrisy of all time. Why doesn’t the rest of Europe put an embargo on transfers to the barclays super league. Dangerous times ahead for football fans
A former NCAA Division III student-athlete & coach at Ursinus College, BJ Callaghan has guided the @USMNT to the CONCACAF Nations League 🏆 while serving as interim head coach. #d3soc
UEFA is scandalous. Financial fair play that doesn’t apply to english teams barca or psg, instead roma and inter can only spend 8million a year. Then these refs especially the english ones are embarrassing. Meanwhile Biraghi gets struck by something from west ham fans
"Tonight they play for bragging rights, they play for legacy, they play for European glory..."
A rivalry like no other, the Derby della Madonnina takes the center stage. 🏟
