Found myself wondering today why the @AustralianOpen holds the finals at night. Doesn't make sense internationally, certainly not in US, and surely Australian TV would be happy with 4pm, for example? Wimbledon is 4pm, US Open 2pm, RG 3pm. Any thoughts?

Defiance: Novak Djokovic
Novak Djokovic is my favorite athlete. Not my favorite tennis player, my favorite athlete, period.
What he did against Jannik Sinner in the Australian Open semifinal is the clearest example of why.
Djokovic confronted a matchup that had already turned structural, where the patterns were clear, the margins were shrinking, and where Sinner had control, and chose to dismantle it anyway.
At 38 years old.
And after losing the first set, there was no hesitation and no extended recalibration. Djokovic instead raised his level, accepted risk without waiting for comfort, went full force, and never let the match breathe.
This was a plan executed at full commitment. You could see the effect on Sinner as the match went on, the frustration building as Novak continued to deny him, forcing him to play from discomfort rather than control.
What separates Djokovic has never been popularity or aesthetics, but his willingness to interrogate his own limits and change accordingly because he doesn’t cling to old versions of himself. He audits them.
Djokovic is ruthless with inefficiency and humble enough to rebuild when the game demands it. Every phase of his career has been defined by reinvention through discipline rather than shortcuts, and this match was another chapter in that pattern.
Edge doesn’t disappear with age when adaptation stays ahead of the problem.
Watching him solve this puzzle in real time, against the version of Sinner that had given him the most trouble, was one of the most remarkable performances I have ever seen.
That was defiance. That is why Novak Djokovic is my favorite athlete.

Indiana vs. Oregon feels like a high-stakes poker hand. Both think they’ve got the read but only one is walking away with the pot. espn.com/espn/betting/s…
