Spaniard Loses Ankle But Wins Tokyo Like It’s 2099

In a stunning display of human stubbornness and possibly cartoon physics, the Spaniard attacked the Tokyo courts this week with an ankle injury that apparently communicated exclusively in Morse code. Despite a foot operating on what experts confirm resembled 'stubborn molasses,' he still dismantled all challengers faster than a tech startup burns venture capital. World number five Fritz was reportedly so outclassed he demanded an ankle brace for morale purposes. Sources report this was not victory by grace but by sheer 'please-let-this-not-be-a-permanent-limp' grit, rewriting Tokyo’s tennis injury-triumph history in what some tournaments are considering renaming the 'Ankle Apocalypse Open.'
