With Alcaraz losing tonight, that keeps the streak alive of no player having defended the US Open title since 2008.. it shows how hard it is to do and yet Federer did it 5 straight times from 2004-2008..
Federer 🐐
Thiem made 4 Grand Slam finals.
He also has 6 wins against Nadal, 5 wins against Djokovic and 5 wins against Federer.
He’s more elite than Fritz because he was a significantly better player than Fritz.
It’s not just because of his US Open title.
Steve Kerr says Roger Federer taught his Warriors team the secret to sustained success wasn’t outworking everyone, it was building a life around your craft you never want to escape from
“I’ll tell you a great story about Roger Federer. We were playing in China with the Warriors in 2017. Roger was in Shanghai for the Masters tournament, so we invited him to come speak to the team.”
“Draymond Green asked him, ‘How do you sustain success? How have you managed to win majors 20 years after you first won one?’ Everyone was expecting him to say, ‘I work harder than everybody,’ the will, all the clichés.”
“Roger Federer says, ‘I get up every morning and I make breakfast for my kids. Then I take them to school and drop them off. Then I go practice tennis for about two hours, and I’ve figured out a really good routine where I don’t destroy my body, but I can get all the work in I need.”
“‘Then I go have lunch with my wife. In the evening, we cook dinner together. The kids are all home from school. We ask them about school. There’s so much joy in the house. We put them to bed, and then I put my head on the pillow and go, “Man, that was just a great day.” And I’ve been doing that for 20 years.’”
“And it was like, yes. That’s it. That’s the formula. That’s what leads to sustained success. He loves tennis. He loves his family. He loves life. It’s not outworking everybody and banging your head against the wall, ‘I’m going to be better than everybody.’ It’s allowing your natural talent to shine through with a work ethic, with a great family life, with perspective, with peace, with mindfulness.”
“It’s perspective. It’s joy. It’s passion. It’s mindfulness. It’s an awareness that we are truly lucky. To get the most out of ourselves, it’s our daily rituals and experiences and love and joy.”

Desde que llegó, Javier López se dedicó a hablar solo de fútbol. Incluso en los momentos más complicados siempre explicaba la derrota basándose en lo que su equipo dejaba de hacer en el campo. No cargó contra nadie y creyó siempre en su idea. Hoy celebra su primer título como campeón de liga en Honduras.
24 years ago Vince McMahon absolutely crashed out on the audience because they kept changing “WHAT” during his promo 😭
