    that it was normal to feel nervous closing out the match,” he added, before revealing something else that crossed his mind; the two match points Roger Federer had in 2019 to win Wimbledon, which Djokovic saved heroically before taking down the Swiss.

    “I’ve watched a lot of tennis,” explained the Spaniard. “For someone like Federer to lose that final... I think that’s so tough. I told myself: ‘Please, don’t let that happen to you. Do whatever it takes.’ But I did think about it at
    that moment.”

    A drop shot followed by a lob to win a point. Then that jab at the net that won him another point. Coming from a 20 year old?  Unbelievable.

    Wow, he's just like me when I go all in and bet with everything on the line only to lose on the final turn in "Marvel Snap". Was I too impetuous ? Was there another line ? How can I improve ? 😔

    I think that working with a psychologist early in his development has been incredibly important for Carlos. This is the way.
    "With this information and with the work he does with his psychologist Isabel Balaguer, also a member of his team, Carlos has been able to learn and overcome the situation."


    Thank you Novak and Carlos. Learning from the mentally toughest ("what would Novak/Carlos do in this situation ?") has enabled me to reach the highest rank, Infinite Rank, in Marvel Snap (a game that reminds me of poker), lol.
