This weeks 'you can win' is dedicated to 'human dynamo' Rafael Nadal. Just watch his finals against Roger Federer in Australian Open 2009 today and you will see what I mean.
After playing the longest ever match (5 Hours, 13 minutes) in Aus Open Semi-Finals against Verdasco on Friday, Nadal again played for more than 4 hours to defeat Federer in the Finals. This is just incredible human achievement.
If you watch the match statistics, you will see that Federer had more winners, less unforced errors, more aces, less double-faults & better overall percentage game & still Nadal wins. This is a classic example of 'willingness to win' under any circumstance.
Also remember that these two matches were of highest quality of tennis at the highest level and not just any other five-setters. They were comparable to the best matches ever played - Borg Vs Conners in Wimbledon, Federer Vs Nadal in last year's Wimbledon etc.,
Congratulations to Nadal & Thanks for the inspiration.
Regards,
Pradeep
PS: I'm hard-core fan of Roger Federer.
