0Yesterday, Nadal won French Open 2017 and it was his 15th Grand Slam Title. Throughout this tournament, he played like a champion without losing a Set. In the final match with Stan Wawrinka he displayed a top quality tennis with powerful forehands and topspin, his first serve was best ever.
But this was not so easy, after winning French Open in 2014 he had series of injuries and last year in 2016 he retired after 3rd round due to damaged Wrist. A player who was on a winning spree till 2014 and suddenly was forced to be down by wear and tear caused by so many years of power play. Still, he had a faith in his abilities, his determination for playing tennis was tremendous, any other player would have taken retirement, but he stood like a true leader and fought all odds. In those bad patches he must have fallen down too much stronger and new players, he must be mentally shattered, devastated with the struggles between mind and body but at the end, his mind won. His never say die attitude plunged him to give best and achieve what he had planned, his determination was seen in Australian open 2017 when he reached final and displayed signs of return.
So what are the takeaways from this warrior is always give your best, never give up, stay focused, work on your weakness and make them your strengths, problems will come, situations will force you to surrender but never loose hope, everyone is unique and must use his full strength to achieve his / her Goal.
Wishing all the very best to Rafael Nadal for his future and wish him to achieve many heights. Also wish all of us to be strong, consistent and shall never give up.
