Some learning from Last Week's Australian Open Finals!

Some learning's from today's Australian Open Match Roger Federer Versus Rafael Nadal (29 Jan 2017)
1. You don't have to be top seed to deliver top performance. You just have to give your best shot
2. Whatever be the position always remember the opponent has some new trick coming up. Keep your eye on the target (ball) always. The shot in the unexpected direction is when you lose the point.
3. Whatever the rivalry and intense competition a fair game with full involvement is loved by all.
4. Respect your opponent. At time of shaking hands on winning the tournament the two players displayed lots of professionalism in the manner which they shook hands and rubbed shoulders.
5. Age is no bar for performance. Even in a competitive sport like Tennis we are inclined to believe that you have to push the envelope after 28 or 29 but today the champion beat the opponent at the age of 35 to bridge this record after over 40 years.
6. Being humble makes others respect your leadership. Federer referred to the concept of draw and said that if such a thing existed in tennis he would love to share the same with Nadal. So much respect for the opponent.
And of course...as one of the anchors put it
No better Reality TV than Sports
