what if you'd just reached your first cincinnati open final since a devastating loss in 2023 and u had to play your BIGGEST RIVAL (who just denied u your wimbledon title defence) in a FOURTH consecutive final. but then he retires in the first set with a FEVER after losing FIVE GAMES in a row. and afterwards u hug him and touch him on the shoulders so many times it starts getting KINDA WEIRD. and although you finally win the title it doesn't feel like an actual win and the trophy ceremony is super SAD and AWKWARD. and also it's MONDAY. unfortunately my friend carlos alcaraz has some experience with this
