2023 US Open Clash of Tennis Titans: Legends on the Court
2023 US Open Showdown:
Novak Djokovic v. Daniil Medvedev — Legends on the Court
In the realm of tennis, emotions run deep,
As the 2023 US Open unfolds, we weep,
For the young talents, Ben Shelton and Alcaraz,
Whose dreams of the final didn’t come to pass.
~~~~~~
Shelton, with his thunderous serve, so grand,
Fueled by the home crowd, he took his stand,
But will his brilliance be a fleeting light?
Or can he conquer heights, scaling every height?
~~~~~~
Alcaraz, the world’s number one, they say,
His forehand echoes Nadal’s in a youthful display,
Yet, in crucial moments, his nerves betray,
Too many errors, the victory slips away.
~~~~~~
Medvedev, the champion of twenty-twenty-one,
On hard courts, his prowess shines like the sun,
Yet double faults haunt him in the hour of need,
As he strives for glory, to fulfill his creed.
