This post was so well-done. I don't follow tennis that closely. I'm glad you brought this to light.

Great post. That image is incredible and so important for people to see. It reminds me of something that I saw this summer while watching the Tour de France. You may have seen it (or maybe not because of algorithms). On one of the later stages, two of the young stars of the sport did something that was completely shocking to me. Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogačar (the reigning champ) were competing for a stage win as well as the ultimate tour win. As they were neck-and-neck on a descent, Tadej fell. Instead of racing off and sealing a victory, Jonas then slowed down to wait for him. Tadej caught up and they touched hands. You can see a replay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1-gUaeeq3s. It blew me away. We need this type of leadership and role model desperately in this time of division and stoked hate.
