Raphael Nadal, an example to follow

I'm not a great fan of tennis but this guy is really incredible. He is already a confirmed champion of 'clay surface' with his numerous victories at Rolland Garros Tennis Tournament but never won at Wimbledon because the soft grass surface is not his cup of tea.

But this young guy challenged himself that one day he will win the Wimbledon Cup. He tried and failed several times BUT this year was his year.

Being inspired by his large victory on Roger Federer (the current world tennis champion)recently in Rolland Garros final and may be also by the victory of hiscountry Spain at the European Football Cup (after 44 years), Raphael Nadal gave 200 % in the final against the same Roger Federer (the master and unbeatable Wimbledon champion for the past 5 years).

After more than 4 hours of intense battle, his perseverence and persistence finally paid up. Raphael Nadal won the game in 'extra time' in one of the best tennis final we have ever seen and thus accomplished his 'dreams'...

What an inspiration for all of us...
