Isn't it the same duck that is staring in Friends? It looks like.

Neither of them won a major tournament after they were 25. You have to appreciate the amazing era of Rafa, Fed, and Djoker that will be tough to match.

Damn it, what I came here to say.
I used to love finding old photos in thrift stores and such and making up stories about who they were if people asked why I had the random photo of this random couple or something.

I feel like it's just a matter of time before an AI will be able to at least take a guess at who a person is in every photo or painting ever. Facebook was already doing a "Is This You" feature a handful of years ago, and software has gotten a lot better. I wouldn't even be surprised that even if there wasn't a direct cross reference, that it could guess based on physical features and an understanding of how genetics work. Heck, as soon as I typed "physical features," the software could even take physical descriptions like "had a lazy eye" or even just "beard" and can narrow it down based on other features.

It's kind of cool... and a little creepy.

I wouldn’t guessed such an age gap. I guess my memories watching them as a kid with my dad have all blurred together over time: McEnroe, Borg, Becker, Lendl, Connors, Seles, Evert. The old guard before Sampras and Agassiz took over the tv screens…

I did the same thing in the same year. Middle school science class project and lots of bargaining with mom.

Also if you l happen to have any Mormons in your family, reach out to them because IIRC genealogy is a big part of their faith and at least all the Mormons I know have surprisingly exhaustive family tree records
