It's Okay Daniil US Open Is Waiting For You

A scene from Indian Wells 2023. Daniil Medvedev, playing against Alexander Zverev in the fourth round, falls and rolls his ankle halfway through the second set. Although trailing by a set, and in such pain it is several moments before he can get up off the ground, he gets his ankle taped, plays on, and somehow wins the match. Five days later, he would make the final against Carlos Alcaraz.

I started this right after IW 2024 thinking I would need about two weeks (lol). All told, it took me about two months, working almost daily for about 2-3 hours each day.
