When I first arrived in New York from a small farming village in Switzerland, everything felt too big 🇨🇭
The city.The noise.The energy.The crowds.The lights💥
But year after year New York slowly became one of my favorite places in the world🌎🙌🏻
This city challenged me. It pushed me. It brought something out of me that few places ever could⚡️
I experienced some of the strongest emotions of my career here.
The battles, the late nights, the incredible atmosphere, the love from the crowd…memories that will stay with me forever 🙏🏻💭🗽
Winning the US Open,in the city that never sleeps,will forever be one of the greatest moments of my life 🏆🌇

Thank you, New York🗽
Thank you, @usopen 🎾
Thank you to every single fan who supported me, pushed me, believed in me and shared all these emotions with me over the years🙏🏻🫶🏻
Forever grateful. Forever New York🗽🇺🇸

@sardesairajdeep Amazing, even as rivals, perhaps these legends of the sport including Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev respect how competitive @ImranKhanPTI was and how he pushed them to be better.

Encouraging to see India–Korea partnership accelerate. Long in the making, strong in potential. Feels like my two worlds coming together 🇮🇳🤝🇰🇷

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

The India-Korea Business Leaders’ Dialogue highlighted the immense potential of our economic partnership across diverse sectors. Our cooperation can drive growth and prosperity in both nations.

Our focus remains on strengthening supply chains, supporting future-ready sectors and creating opportunities for our youth.

[Vuk Jeremić @jeremic_vuk]

There are moments in sport when the scoreboard becomes irrelevant, when what unfolds in front of us feels less like competition and more like history. Under the lights of Rod Laver Arena tonight, Novak Djokovic @DjokerNole stood across the net from time itself—and refused to step aside.

He didn’t win the historic 11th Australian Open title. And yet, what Novak produced felt even more improbable than just another record. At the age of 38, he played on equal terms with Carlos Alcaraz @carlosalcaraz, the best player in the world today—a player who was just ONE year old when Novak played his first Australian Open.

Let that sink in.

This wasn’t a symbolic appearance or a nostalgic echo of former greatness. This was Novak Djokovic competing, suffering, adapting, and believing at the highest possible level—against youth, speed, and the new era embodied in Alcaraz. Nobody in tennis has ever managed anything remotely close to this. Not across eras. Not across generations. Not with this level of relevance.

What we saw in Australia was courage in its purest form. The courage to step onto the biggest stage knowing that time, physics, and history are stacked against you—and conquering it anyway.

Novak’s greatness has never been only about his innumerable titles—it is about his character. About standing alone. About enduring doubt, pressure, and expectation, and still showing up with the same fire.

That is why he belongs in the company of figures larger than sport itself. Like Muhammad Ali, he carried conviction and fought battles far beyond the scoreboard. And he will continue doing so.

Novak Djokovic didn’t lose in Melbourne tonight. He showed us what timeless greatness looks like.

🇮🇳🇫🇷 SORRY DONALD, THE DEAL IS FRENCH! India Rejects US Pressure & Locks in the RAFALE TSUNAMI! 🌊🤣

While President Trump was busy tweeting about tariffs and complaining that "Modi is not happy" with him, India quietly prepared the paperwork for the Deal of the Century... with France. 💅☕️

Reports confirm India is finalizing the acquisition of 114 Rafale Jets for the IAF AND 26 Rafale-M for the Navy.
The "Art of the Deal" just got school’d by New Delhi.

Why Uncle Sam is crying:

1. The American Rejection

The US pushed the F-18 Super Hornet and F-21 hard. They threatened sanctions, complained about Russian oil, and slapped tariffs on us.
India’s Response?
"Seen 10: 00 PM." Left on read. We chose the jet that doesn't come with a 'User Manual' written by the US Congress.

2. The 'Made in India' Fortress

This isn't just buying; it's owning.
Tata Advanced Systems is setting up to build the bird here.
60% Value Retention in India. We aren't just flying them; we are building the ecosystem to replace them with our own AMCA later.

3. Total Dominance (The Two-Front Nightmare)

China: Panicking because the Rafale-M on INS Vikrant means the Indian Ocean is a "No-Entry" zone.

Pakistan: Already has PTSD from the Rafale sound barrier and the latest wrath in Operation sindoor.

US: Realizing that "Strategic Autonomy" means you can't bully India into buying your jets.

The Deal Breakdown-
--> Navy: 26 Rafale-M (~₹63k Cr) for INS Vikrant. Immediate IOR control. China blocked.

-->Air Force: 114 MRFA ALL Rafale jets. Why? Speed + Logistics. We know them, we rule with them. No drama.

Macron is visiting next month to likely seal the deal. Trump can keep his tariffs; we’ll keep the best Omni-Role fighter in the world.
Strategic Autonomy 1, Bullying 0.
France has stood by India through THICK and THIN (1998 Nuclear tests, Kargil, Kashmir).
The Ultimate deterrent is loading...

SG531 @flyspicejet flight was preponed by 15 mins promising timeliness! Reached gate on time, but boarding never announced. Staff says “engine vibration,” technicians working inside turbine. ETD slipped 4:35/7/7:30/8:30 and now 9:30… Passengers deserve honesty & safer planes!

[Vikas Bhardwaj @vikasbhardwaj]

@flyspicejet Don’t push old jets flown nonstop without proper maintenance just. I don’t know if it’s because this equipment mainly flies to and from Bihar destinations or is that representative of your entire fleet! @MoCA_GoI

[Nikki Haley @NikkiHaley]

Terrorists launched an attack that killed dozens of Indian citizens. India had every right to retaliate and defend itself.

Pakistan does not get to play the victim. No country gets a pass for supporting terrorist activity.

@sardesairajdeep Rajdeep, great to have you back post sabbatical! The way you package news at 9pm is refreshing, almost like a modern-day The World This Week. AI Sana may try, but the art of reading the pulse of the people and telling a story - that can't be replaced. Keep doing what you do best!

Just experienced the state-of-the-art T2 terminal for domestic flights at Bangalore, and it's as impressive as these snapshots suggest. As someone with miles under their belt, I'd rank it among the world's elite.🌍✈️ But, to maintain that status, a cultural shift is essential 1/2

The sight of paan masala stains by the drinking fountain is a stark reminder of the civility we need to embrace. It's high time for a conversation about the impact of such endorsements. What's the take of celebrities promoting these products? 🚰🚫 #TravelThoughts #CivicSense #BLR

[Danny @DjokovicFan_]

Novak Djokovic has defeated Nadal at every big clay tournament - French Open, Monte Carlo, Madrid, and Rome.

For comparison, Nadal never beat Djokovic at five big hard court tournaments - Australian Open, Miami, Paris, Shanghai, and Cincinnati (0-8 combined record)

Novak Djokovic is the most versatile player in tennis.
