I come back to this speech every once in a while:
“in the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches
… what percentage of points do you think I won in those matches?
only 54%.”
A constable was seriously injured after being attacked with an axe outside the Delft Police Station in the early hours of Monday morning.
Police say the officer was struck in the head at about 2am while standing outside the Community Service Centre.
Another officer fired warning shots, forcing the suspects to flee and abandon their vehicle.
A joint operation involving SAPS and City of Cape Town LEAP officers led to the arrest of three suspects, two men and a woman aged between 23 and 25.
The axe believed to have been used in the attack was recovered.
The injured officer is in stable condition in hospital, while the suspects are expected to appear in court.
Police are still investigating the motive behind the attack.
Video as received.

Have you ever had to deal with the passing away of a colleague, and how did you deal with it?

This clip of Riky Rick was recorded shortly before his passing.
Watching it now is a reminder that people can be carrying so much pain while still showing up every day. We don’t always see the battles people are fighting behind closed doors.
Be kind. Check in on your people. Sometimes a listening ear, a conversation, or simply showing up can mean more than we realize❤️❤️❤️
A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.
She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.
Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.
Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.
Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.
She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.
By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.
