Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:07:04 GMT

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Novak Djokovic paid quite a compliment to Carlos Alcaraz.Before they’ll face each other in the Wimbledon final on Sunday, Djokovic was asked to size up Alcaraz — and he compared the kid to himself.Pretty good company.“He’s been incredibly successful in adapting to the surfaces and (to the) demands and challenges of opponents on a given day,” Djokovic said. “I see this as a great trait, as a great virtue. I see this as one of my biggest strengths throughout my career, that I was able to constantly develop, adapt and adjust my game, depending on the challenges, basically. That’s what he’s doing very early on in his career.”And Alcaraz’s assessment of Djokovic?“He has no weakness. He’s a really complete guy, really complete player. He’s amazing. He does nothing wrong on the court,” Alcaraz said. “Physically he’s a beast. Mentally he’s a beast. Everything is unbelievable for him.”The matchup on Centre Court at the All England Club to close the fortnight i...

Broncos Journal: Justin Simmons and Kareem Jackson still charting new territory in long kinship

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:07:04 GMT

Perhaps it should come as no surprise that Justin Simmons and Kareem Jackson can communicate quickly and then spring into action.That’s been their job on the football field over the past four seasons playing next to each other and they’ve formed a tight bond doing it at a high level.They realized recently they perhaps missed an assignment off the field, or at least an opportunity, and set about rectifying it quickly.The result came together last weekend when the pair co-hosted a youth football camp at Aurora Central High School.“For me, just getting the chance to team up with Justin and his foundation to do something in the city that supports us on a daily basis, we know how loved we are here in the Denver community,” Jackson said. “So to be able to bring a camp here through our foundations, it’s probably something that we should have been doing.”Simmons said that realization meant a very short conversation before planning began.“Literally, that was the convo,” he said. “Maybe...
