The Story Behind the Visual
“It’s not how you start, but how you finish.”
That’s what I said in an interview last week when asked for one career lesson.
It was fresh in my mind after watching the Wimbledon final. With the Big Three (Federer, Nadal, Djokovic) nearing the end of their careers, attention is now on Alcaraz and Sinner. There’s plenty of hype — some say they’re saving men’s tennis — but it’s still early days.
It got me thinking: how does Alcaraz / Sinner's start stack up against the Big Three?
