I mean, my family was originally from one country; I was born and raised in another country, but I have lived most of my adult life in a third country. I speak the three languages fluently. What even is my nationality at this point?

In sports terms it's whatever flag they put next to you in competitions, and they're only going to use one. In personal terms it's what you call yourself. No need to limit yourself to just one there.

Djokovic still beat Alcaraz in their last two matches - the AO and the Olympics

Let me know when he beats Sinner or Alcaraz (or anybody else for that matter) in a slam final.

At least that final has one thing going for it, it’s definitely and decidedly the best ever slam final played between two men born in the 90’s. Hopefully it will renain the only one.

Pathetic from Zverev. Where was the kind of display that he put up when he beat Djokovic in the Italian Open a few years ago or even last year, in the final, and when he gave Nadal a scare before the unfortunate ankle injury at the FO.

This tournament had a burlesque, if not clownish, side.

Djoko crushed Thiem, heralded as the prince of clay, Nadal's legitimate successor at RG to ensure his legacy.

And in the final, Djoko, who is, let's be honest, the best player in Rome after Nadal, was surprised by teen age Zverev... in straight.. a future ATG probably..

Between that and Medvedev's troll title in Rome (his last title to date), I'm still undecided.
