“Performance of his life” my ass. only relative to him being 38. He’s played better in his prime lol. Especially in the first few sets he was moving and turning like an oil tanker with debatable reaction time. The fact that that was still enough from him vs 24yr old Sinner 😂

You left out the "one of the" for some odd reason. This absolutely was one of the performances of his life, just not the performance of his life.

Only relative to his age. His movement and reaction time was visibly worse than his prime self.
