If you think these dudes are anything other than decent blokes who did something good for excellent charities, you are part of the problem.

I blame the moustache for whatever happened to Carlos today and the consequences 😢
ON TOP OF THE WORLD 🌎🥇
Alexander Zverev is confirmed as Year End No.1 following Alcaraz's loss in Shanghai!
@AlexZverev
He’s absolutely right to suggest this! End matches by 11pm. Show some respect to the crowd, but he could also add for the players too. Playing until 3.30am isn’t good for their health
🚨 Carlos Alcaraz 🇪🇸 aimerait installer un COUVRE FEU sur le circuit après son dernier match terminé à 3h30 du matin contre Ben Shelton à l’US Open. ❌
🗣️ « Je pense que c’est trop tard. Les gens sont restés, mais s’il avait été joué plus tôt, le court aurait pu être plein.
J’aimerais que les horaires soient un peu modifiés, avec une fin des matchs à 23h ou quelque chose comme ça. Ce serait mieux. »

Kim Clijsters on Alcaraz:
"That pic of him walking out after a heartbreaking loss, and having a full blown smile. His chin was up, full smile, he had one of the most positive press huddles afterwards. It gives me chills thinking about it. What a gift he's to the sport of tennis"

No cameras permitted in @usopen locker room, but picture the scene:
4:30 a.m , Carlos Alcaraz is on his bench after QF loss. Tournament personnel goes in to check on him. He is smiling, pops up, and says “thank you for the stage.” Proceeds to thank all the remaining staff - practice desk, security guard - before departing into the night/morning ….

Not everyone can be classy after losing a slam final…
Aryna #Sabalenka telling a cameraman to “fuck off” after losing is exactly why I will NEVER buy the “she’s just passionate” excuse.
No. That’s called being a terrible loser.
Elena Rybakina just beat you. The camera didn’t. The cameraman didn’t. The tournament didn’t. ✨
One of the reasons I love Wimbledon - everyone goes home at 11pm…
Alberto Lledó, preparador físico de Alcaraz, hace una reflexión en su Instagram.
🗣️ “En algunas ocasiones sé (lo afirmo con humildad) que el rendimiento no es sinónimo de salud... Tenemos que adaptarnos a cualquier circunstancia, y quien lo hace primero lleva ventaja competitiva, pero empezar un partido de tenis de 5 sets a las 11 de la noche no es nada sano para un deportista”
Sé que se ha hablado mucho estos días de este tema, con varios partidos empezando o acabando tarde y que el US Open poco podía hacer ante lo que ocurrió el martes, pero aquí los Slams deberán tener que tomar una decisión drástica sobre a qué hora se empieza los turnos de noche. Ahí es donde está el tema.
It ranks as the most absurd start and finish times for a match ever. USO, what were you even thinking starting a match at 11pm and letting them play until 3.30am, with one of them vomiting? Absolutely stupid scheduling 😡
