That it is. Novak is a hero of epic proportions. The perfect manifestation of a free human. At the opus of his vocation but not letting that position corrupt his soul. Standing in his power with respect, consideration and dignity. Legend.

He’s has Covid twice. He’s in top physical condition, and the regulation is due to be dropped in May. It’s pretty insane.

It was supposed to be dropped in January. Biden extended it.

“Biden”… he has signed around 400 executive orders in his short time in office. There is no way he could read those to know what he is signing. So I say “Biden” in an abstract way.

Novak won his 23 grand slams in the most competitive period for men's tennis too, with Nadal and Federer.  Impressive.

And he seems like a genuine good person all around. https://youtu.be/YskqvyX1W7M

Makes me want to play tennis again haha. My parents loved tennis and I remember watching the rivalry between Connors and McEnroe. Good stuff. Classic heel and face.

Marketa Vondrousova’s historic Wimbledon triumph hasn’t been the only highlight of her campaign at SW19. Her pet cat Frankie has also grabbed headlines during the fortnight. The Czech tennis player has now revealed how she is planning to celebrate the big victory with her beloved pet.

On Saturday, July 15, Vondrousova lifted her maiden Grand Slam title at Wimbledon by defeating repeat finalist Ons Jabeur in straight sets 6-4, 6-4. This was the 24-year-old's third victory over the Tunisian this season.

Interestingly, the 24-year-old’s sister and husband did not attend her initial clashes. Vondrousova had conveyed that Simek was taking care of their pet Sphynx cat, Frankie, and was thus unable to travel. She later hilariously confirmed that her husband had arranged for a cat sitter so that he could attend the final.

6am today, the big matchup we've been waiting for.  These guys have only played each other twice before, and the last time (the French Open this year), Alcarez suffered an injury and fell badly after that.

When a cat sitter makes news…

This is what I mean by the infantalization of young people in society. They got someone to watch their cat, it becomes international news, and the masses gush over it.

30 is the new 15, literally. It’s like we’re trapped in a Teen Magazine world.

Have fun at your car show, those are adult toys at least right? Right? Car go vroom vroom.

Not many kids driving cars these days.

But in the 30s I bet 10 year olds were driving tractors on the farm.

Dude you are so right about that.

24 grand slams, and I am sure he would have more if not prevented from many tournaments for vaccine requirements.

He is playing with people almost half his age and outplaying them.
