Chapter 81: Champion In Our Hearts “There you have it, ladies and gentlemen

The US Open title this year goes to Alexander Jenkins! What a surprising season it is

The country was heartbroken when Carlos was injured, but Alexander Jenkins took home the cup!” A sports commentator announced before the cameras shifted to Alexander, raising his trophy cup, nearly teary-eyed as his astonishing win.

In an interview, Alexander claimed, “This win is for my friend, Carlos, The Devil

This was supposed to be his win, but it was taken from him

And it was exactly because of Carlos that I was more determined to win this year’s US Open championships.” 1 “Mister Jenkins, when do we expect The Devil to return to playing on the court?” The reporter asked.

“It’s hard to say, but we know Carlos

His ultimate goal was to win all four Grand Slam tournaments in a year

This year, he won three out of four

He was this

If not the next season, he would surely be back to claim it the year after.” Alexander looked at the camera and owned it for his friend

“Wait for the Devil’s return!”

“Get well soon, Carlos.” Alexander then pointed to the crowd behind him, all while holding his trophy

The audience was cheering as if in synch with Alexander

“See this? Your fans are waiting for you to return to the court!”

The tennis enthusiast on all levels in that stadium cheered, calling out Carlos name.

“Devil!”

“Devil!”

After watching Alexander receive the trophy, Carlos could not help but feel emotional

He was proud of Alexander while, at the same time, he envisioned having won the same title again

Even if Carlos had won the previous US Open titles, this year was supposed to be different

This year, he had his Kate, and his win was supposed to be dedicated to her.

“You’ll win the next,” Kate suggested

“It will be for another year until the next US Open.”

Carlos nodded

He forced a smile and said, “I know.”
