Nadal defeats Federer again for a hat-trick of French Open titles. The match lasted more than three hours. Federer played good initially but lost steam in the third set. Nadal was good and he never let the tempo off. Federer committed more than twice the number of unforced errors than Nadal, he had to pay the price. The Musketeers trophy was handed to Rafa by Gustavo Kuerten(97, 00, 01 French Open winner).
Some of the interesting comments made by(who else) the commentators. During the fourth set, Rafa was leading two sets to one, he was all charged up. They said 'Its interesting to see how much physical strength a scoreboard can give you'. Another one - 'Nadal turned 21 this June. He celebrated his birthday with a win'. Well in a few months from now I am going to be 21 and I have nothing to show. Nadal has won more than 10 millions. He is known worldwide. He is in the history books with 81 consecutive victories on clay, hat-trick of French Open titles. Name, fame, money. Not to forget the physique. Its surprising how much one can achieve in the same amount of time. Yes, I have cracked JEE, but presently it can hardly compare with what he has done. Its not that I have not slogged. For that matter its not that all the losers of today have not. Its just that they have done it more. Talent and mind too plays a part. What I am trying to say is that any amount of slogging you do, you can always do more. Then you become strong mentally.
