well, roger federer defeated andre agassi.
but this other match was really a breathtaking match. corny-ly, the players were taking lots of breath as well for the super long game (lame-o).
lleyton hewitt defeated david nalbanian. (quarter finals)
6-3, 6-2, 1-6, 3-6, 10-8. and the match was over 4 hours.
what endurance, what mental strength.
david produced 2 great shots. one around the net, and another under his legs (and i'm sure everyone thought he was unable to return that shot). cool stuff!
i was just wondering what must have been going on in their minds. to have the ability to keep hold of yourself and your mind. to still have the ability to think and perform under all circumstances and pressure.
imagine the whole stadium cheering against you. and you're like the only one standing against the opponent? body is stretched. on the brink of winning. your head is throbbing. how much more immense can the pressure be?
the true character of the person shows out under pressure.
