Lionel Messi is 39 years of age. He has 8 goals and 4 assists in the World Cup.
If Zidane had played in the 2010 World Cup, he'd have been 38 years old.
If Ronaldinho had played in the 2018 World Cup, he'd have been 38 years old.
That is what we're dealing with here. Unreal.
I honestly don’t care what happens in this match from here on. So proud of his attitude and his fighting spirit. He’s doing his best and playing his heart out. Can’t ask for more.
When Carlos was walking to the net at the beginning of S4, this is what I thought:
Lorenzo Musetti shakes Zverev’s hand here.
The will power and warrior mentality that Carlos Alcaraz possesses is the reason why he’s so special. Alcaraz knows that if he retires, he failed.
Hard to imagine a player managing this sort of situation (cramps) better than Alcaraz has over the last 40 minutes
No wasted motion. Ending the point as quickly/efficiently as possible. Contact point still as crisp as ever
May not be enough, but awfully impressive

Zverev was just unlucky against Djokovic. I really don't think he's that far off winning a slam.
He just needs to improve his forehand, backhand, slice, drop shot, lateral movement, agility, volleys, serve, mental toughness, shot IQ, fitness, composure, lobs, and overhead smash.
The first MAHA Report is out. I urge everyone in healthcare and biomedical research to read it soon and consider its implications. Some hard truths, some arguable assertions, many points on which we can all agree. Regardless, this document is going to be foundation of USG health policy for the next four years. We need to understand it and focus on the constructive opportunities. @DrMakaryFDA@NIHDirector_Jay@DrOzCMS@SecKennedy
