"It's the best player in the world versus the best player of all time." This comment Rafa made about the Djoker/Federer semi-final speaks volumes about his personality and the respect he has for the game of tennis and the players in it.
After a hard fought battle this sunday, you had to admire how Fed handled the aftermath of a very frustrating day at the office. He congratulated Nadal in three languages with a genuine smile watching his friend hoist the first place trophy. The level of class these two competitors exude is an outstanding example for todays youth.
In an era of prima donna's and instant gratification somehow we ended up with two role models who exemplify what it takes to be a successful person in todays world. As Aristotle said, "We are what we repeatedly do. Therefore, excellence is not an act. It is a habit." We are all lucky to be part of the Fed/Nadal era!
