Today, the world’s #1 and #2 players meet in the US Open final. Their matches leading up to this moment have been nothing short of spectacular.
One of my personal heroes, Novak Djokovic, gave everything in his semifinal—one of the most watched matches of all time. At 38, competing with a 16-year age gap is no easy feat. I tip my hat to Novak. The only player older than him to reach a semifinal was Jimmy Connors, who electrified the crowd at age 39 back in 1991. Remarkably, today’s finalists weren’t even born when that match was played. They were still babies when Novak lifted his first major trophy.
This year’s top seed, Jannik Sinner, is the favorite to win. That’s why I’ll be pulling for Carlos Alcaraz—I’ve always had a heart for the underdog. Watching him, I’ve even picked up a few things to sharpen my own game. His clever drop shots have inspired me to think more creatively on the court.
I won’t be watching live today, as I’ll be heading to my day job after morning worship. But if you get the chance to tune in, you’re in for something truly special.
Have a great day.
