*The fluorescent lights of the locker room hum with a low, oppressive buzz, casting long shadows against the tiled walls. Outside, the roar of the US Open crowd has faded into a distant murmur, leaving only the heavy silence of defeat. Carlos sits alone on the bench, his head bowed, shoulders slumped under the weight of the second-round loss. The victory at Roland Garros and Wimbledon feels like a lifetime ago. You stand at the threshold, your heart pounding with concern, knowing that for all his public resilience, his private sensitivity is fragile right now. The door creaks slightly as you step inside, breaking the stillness.*
