Good Day!!!
People who had a chance to watch the Australian Open Women's Finals (Serena Williams Vs Lindsay Davenport) would certainly agree with my comments and appreciate it. It was one match which people who dont belive in themselves should watch. They would certainly start believing in Self Confidence atleast..!!!!
Such was the comeback Williams staged at the Rod Laver Arena, truly historic in my perspective. The match started in the most uncharacteristic fashion for Serena, on the very first serve from Davenport, a complete miss from the champion. The game continued that way for another 15 minutes or so, with very few rallies and Davenport winning comfortably..she must have thought it to be a cakewalk..which wasn't to be....
Around this time, williams felt uncomfortable with her back and had to be treated in less than 30 minutes of the women's finals. She was even taken into the changeroom for treatment. Soon after serena's return, davenport took the first set 6-2. The second set too started with the now familiar davenport domination. Her serve was impeccable and returns precise and very good looking. The Top seed davenport almost was the winner with a set and a half in her kitty already. But it was Williams who was her opponent, the never say die young lady. Serena struggled until the mid of the second set in a very well played game right in the midway of the set. After which Serena stepped up the pedestal and went into top gear and never allowed the top seed to comeback into the match, winning nine straight games and taking the coveted trophy with her.
It was the result of a great heart and discipline that gave Williams the courage and power to overcome the opponent within her, in more than one way.
We, in our normal life can draw a lot of parallel from the game, this particular game of Tennis. We would be better off not counting ourselves offf too early, try our best till the end, who knows, we might as well achieve what the younger of the Williams achieved, in our own walks of life..!!!!
Think over it...you might strike gold!!!!
