^ I pray that Carlos adds the Eddie Murphy 80s-90s laugh to his repertoire :D
He's already shown a talent for imitating emojis :giggle:
But its not easy, even Eddie himself cannot seem to laugh that way anymore...

We have their ages, but do we know how many consecutive matches they won versus younger players?
 
I had this weird dream last night that Carlos won USO 2026 and that Sampras handed him the trophy. In his speech, he thanked Sampras. He also said he wanted to copy Pete’s serve but couldn’t get the right pronation so he had to settle for something simpler. He also said he copied Sampras’ forehand volleys and movement at net. Pete started crying.

Please, lord let this be real, lol. :oops:
