Best player in the world

Highest peak in the world
 
Dominant tournament from Carlos to disprove his HC critics after a failure in the spring HC swing.

Sinner was a level (or two) below his Wimbledon best.

Curious to see if Carlos can transition this form to indoor HC as well.
And Carlos was below his best at Wimbledon. Glad he exorcised those demons (going as far as losing faith back then in that match towards the end).
 
Love the respect between the guys. Many more battles to come.
 
Only the 3rd man in history to win multiple majors on all 3 surfaces after Djokovic and Nadal, I think.

6th major at 22 years of age. Congratulations young man.
Wilander too. The OG to do it. 2 grass AOs, 1 HC AO and 1 HC USO, and 3 FOs.
 
Crazy đź‘€. Reminds me of that Fed commencement speech at some university where he touched on this... How much tennis is about winning key points. I think the stat he mentioned was the number of points he had won and lost overall over his career, which was relatively close. Yet his match W-L record is far better, with a larger difference.
 

A nice montage the USO put together, apart from the background music (would've probably been better without it).

See points at 6:40 and 14:59 🙌.
