Christen Press has announced her retirement from professional soccer following the conclusion of @weareangelcity's 2025 season.
Novak Djokovic says it hurt him that he wasn’t as loved as Roger & Rafa, ‘I was never as loved as Federer & Nadal because I wasn't supposed to be there. I was the little guy, the 3rd guy who came & said I'm going to be #1.. Many people didn't like that’
“I acted and still felt like an unwanted child. I asked myself why that was. It hurt me. Then I thought the fans would accept me if I acted differently. But that wasn't the case either.”
“I was never as loved as Federer and Nadal because I wasn't supposed to be there. I was the little guy, the third guy who came along and said, 'I'm going to be number one.' Many people didn't like that.”
“Just because someone is my biggest rival doesn't mean I wish them harm, hate them, or want to do anything else on the court to defeat them. We fought for the win, and the better player won.”
“I've always respected both him and Federer; I've never said a single bad word about them and never will. I looked up to them and still do. But I've always gotten along better with Nadal.”

not comparable tbh. im sure there's an article somewhere that dives into how uswnt starters historically and as recent as up til 2019 have their nwsl club minutes lowkey 'managed' to stay healthy for intl play and how that impacted them being able to retire later.
Carli Lloyd retired from USWNT duty aged 39. Rapinoe, 38. Sauerbrunn, 39.
England are losing Earps, 32 and Kirby, 31.
Daly left the #Lionesses aged 32.
It's vital England ask themselves why.
Comment piece on that contrast, plus Millie Bright's bravery.

@girmasmorgan you spend too much time learning about school shooting drills to not look into the basics of football? 💀💀 cl is huge compared to the olympics football tournament
went to england to shame them abt the state of training facilities for the women's team and they made immediate changes kinda very iconic if you ask me
glad for her really and kinda unrelated but seeing the uswnt change perceptions abt european wins is wild to watch in real time like there was a time players would pop into france for some quick uwcl silverware and come back like it didnt happen😭😭
