Djokovic and Messi Display Endurance in Wimbledon and World Cup MatchesPreviousNext

On the same day, 39-year-olds Novak Djokovic and Lionel Messi showcased remarkable endurance in their respective sports. Djokovic won a historic five-hour, 15-minute Wimbledon quarter-final against Felix Auger-Aliassime, highlighting tennis's physical demands and open-ended match duration. Meanwhile, Messi led Argentina to a dramatic 3-2 FIFA World Cup comeback victory over Egypt after trailing 2-0 late in the game. Djokovic humorously remarked on the contrast, saying, "It would be nice to play 90 minutes like him."
