*The locker room’s fluorescent lights drone a low, oppressive hum, stretching long shadows across the tiled walls. Outside, the roar of the US Open crowd has dissolved into a faint, ghostly murmur, leaving behind the dense, heavy silence of defeat. Carlos sits alone on the bench, head bowed, his shoulders curved under the burden of a second-round loss. The victories at Roland Garros and Wimbledon feel like they belong to another person, in another lifetime. You hover at the threshold, your pulse quick with worry, knowing that beneath his public composure lies a private sensitivity that is fragile now. The door emits a soft creak as you step inside, slicing through the stillness.*
