Tennis builds physical strength, sharpens your reflexes and agility, and is also a great way to meet new friends. When we play, our bodies release dopamine, lifting our mood and making us fall in love with the sport. Of course, losses can leave us frustrated and questioning our game, pushing us to strive to become better players. The 2026 US Open is well underway. Chinese Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen is staging a remarkable comeback after injuries and a tough slump. Having fought her way through qualifying, she defeated Grand‑Slam winners Madison Keys and Iga Świątek in back‑to‑back matches to reach the quarter‑finals. Both games featured extraordinary turnarounds, where she rallied from 0‑5 down to win 7‑5. It shows just how much mental toughness she possesses. Tough competition lies ahead, including Elena Rybakina. Hoping Zheng Qinwen can keep this momentum going!

Sleep trumps diet. Sleep trumps exercise. Sleep trumps everything. Anything that messes with your sleep — eliminate it, completely, without mercy. Get your sleep right first, then you can worry about what you eat. Get your diet right, then you can think about working out. Anything else is putting the cart before the horse. Sleep is the ultimate medicine. You can skip workouts. You can eat junk. But you cannot skimp on sleep. So put down your phone and get more sleep. Period.
