I am huge Nadal fan, and really I am missing him badly in
last few months in the tennis court. Without him the tennis has lost it charm
and certainly the fighting spirit also. I remember when I first saw him playing
in the first time in French open in him first win in clay court, I thought
again a Spanish player who will dominate the clay court but will falter in
others but he proved me all wrong. He did all the impossible in the dictionary
of tennis, stopped the unstoppable Rodger fedrer in the grass court.
Why I like him is a
question which lots of my friend has asked him over the period of time. One
reason I can give to them is, he is a real fighter. When I first saw him
fighting for every ball in the court, when most of the other player used to
give up on the points given me real treat to watch on tv. He has done most of
thing in most UN fashionable way; his shots with spin are real treat to watch.
His cross court shot, his running power in the ground is unbelievable. If you
ever can say about him and French open, he is the greatest player to play on
the clay court. He has made French open as Rafa slam, even this year Novak was
not able to stop him in the final even though he was unstoppable whole of the
year.
His rivalry with feedrer has been legendry; He will always go
down the player who stopped the strong hold of feedrer from the Wimbledon.
There are player who are more talented than him but what he has will power and
also to always look for improve all the time. His service has become so much
better over the years. He is more complete player now then he was few year back
but injury has hurt him bad in last few years. His reliance on power and
running on court has taken its toll in his knees and that why he has been out
so much from tennis.
He could easily break the feedrer record if he stays injury
free in next few years. Not only we all fan of him but also the tennis people
will also love to see him back because this is the best time for the tennis
game. Novak on the top of the game, feedrer showing old time sign, Andy murry
now fulfilling his potential and with rafa back it would be a top four to
reckon with. There are few others in the lineup also like Tsonga and Del potro.
One time there was feedrer and nadal only on the top now it has become much
more competitive.
Once Rafa is back his first challenge will be not to win but
remain fit for the long term. He has been in and out of the game this year and
next year he has maintained the balance. Let’s see how he come back but I hope
to see the same old rafa back again on the court running and chasing each shot
like it is a last point. Sometime you don’t have to be best to win but you have
to be hungrier and have more will then you opponent to win.
P.S.: If Rafa will wins the Australia open next year then it would set a nice year for him. I hope it start with bang for him
