Editor's Note: The French writer Simone Weil wrote that attention "is
the rarest and purest form of generosity." How you see people
determines how you show up in the world. If you see with eyes of
judgment, you'll find flaws, but if you see with generous eyes, you'll
see people doing the best they can.

What is spooking markets, however, is that much of the recent rise in
yields doesnt appear to reflect expectations of stronger economic
growth. Rather, it might be the result of investors applying a higher
discount or term premium" to hold long-term bonds, estimates by the
Federal Reserve suggest. Some analysts attribute this to the
possibility of Donald Trumps promised tariffs derailing the global
economy and leading to a jump in inflation, while his tax cuts bloat
budget deficits further.

Last year, Coco Gauff, who is ranked No. 3 in the world, hit four
hundred and thirty double faultsby far the highest total on tour,
sixty more than the player with the next most. Nineteen of them came
in one match, a fourth-round loss at the U.S. Open to Emma Navarro, in
early September. The spate of double faults wasnt the only sign of
trouble for Gauff; her forehand was a mess. In the match, she had
sixty unforced errors, including twenty-nine on her dominant side.
Shed come into the tournament as the defending champion. After she had
won the title in 2023, she had half-jokingly thanked her haters for
motivating her. (As it happens, Gauff is one of the most likable
people on the planet.) But now the negative energy surrounding Gauff
was impossible to ignore. She sniped at her support box. The tension
with her coach, Brad Gilbert, was palpable. The doubters had something
