Rublev vs Alcaraz. Rublev won the first set. Holy shit. Those boys were hitting those balls hard - sounded like bombs going off.
Unbelievable volleys - thrilling, edge of the seat shit - how many shots? How many shots? Amazing.
But, after the first set it was Alcaraz time. Champions get pissed off when they under-perform and then they say "Fuck this - I am Carlos Alcaraz. I will kick it up a notch and you will suffer." Carlos wins the next three sets.
Djokovic vs De Minaur. De Minaur won the first set. Holy shit. He put up a fight - long volleys - one volley was 32 shots. After that, Djokovic dominated but was down 4-1 in the fourth set. Champions get pissed off - he thought "Fuck this, I am Djokovic. I have levels of performance you can only dream of. I do not want to play a fifth set. You must suffer."
He won the fourth set 6-4, won the match in four.
The other side: Alcaraz vs Norrie. Sports can be cruel. Alcaraz dominated Norrie in every way possible - the guy was helpless. Embarrassed. Keep in mind - the guy did not reach the quarter finals at Wimbledon because he sucks. The match only took 1 hour and 39 minutes. Sadly, he is British, so he got his ass kicked in front of the home crowd.
Here are my thoughts - we all need a "fuck this" setting. Life will beat you like a red headed stepchild. Comes a time when you gotta get up off the ground with fists flying and knock some teeth down life's throat.
And we all get our asses handed to us sometimes. So you grab yourself a few drinks, meditate a little, then listen to Appetite for Destruction all the way through LOUD, and go out and give it another shot.
Life is a fucking battle, man, but you can make something out of it if you're not afraid to get your teeth kicked in once in a while.
Jesus said that.
