Federer Vs. Roddick

 

There are some ordinary things in life which touches your life and teaches you something in the simplest possible way. It was a Sunday evening and I was watching the Wimbledon match between Roger Federer and Andy Roddick. It started at 7 PM IST and went till 11 PM. Both the players were awesome, hardly any mistakes and playing very consistently.

But one thing which strike me was the calmness and the humbleness of the Roger Federer. There were putting in so much of effort but hardly showing joy on breaking the serve or earning the deuce point.

In the entire four hour match, hardly Federer was able to return the service of Andy Roddick. But to my surprise, he never expressed any anguish or even frustration about that. He tried it and just kept on trying.

This was absolutely stunning! You got to have control on your emotions and the way of expressing.
