TENNIS: RAFAEL NADAL MAKES SPANISH HISTORY TO WIN THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN 2009

Spaniard & Tennis World Nº1 RAFAEL NADAL keeps making history
at the age of 22, as he become the first Spaniard ever to win the
AUSTRALIAN OPEN















The final was as expected with Swiss & current World Nº2 ROGER
FEDERER
who was attempting to equal the record of 14 Grand Slam
titles held by Peter Sampras.




















The match was spectacular with both players taking Tennis to levels
that many have´nt seen , especially the 3rd set which was hard fought
& turned out to be vital. The set went to Nadal but Federer is a Champion
& fought back to equal the 4th & to take the game into a 5th set

Here the physical & mental strenght of Nadal is far superior & took the
deciding 5th set, match & title. Final score was 7-5;3-6;7-6;3-6;6-2.















Historic victory that later broke Federer emotionally were he released
all his frustration of being defeated. Rafael Nadal aware & sensative
showed
his maximum respect for the ex-Champ by straining his celebrations,
comforting his sporting friend & giving Federer encouragement.

It was a proud moment for all Spain, as Rafael Nadal is showing us all
that he is a Champion & a true gentlemen, something that most Spaniards
could learn & apply more in their daily lives as a Nation.

If "YouTube" DON´T decide to take this video off, here are the emotion
moments of 2 great Champions & Sportsmen. There are lessons here for
all of us who love Sports, they are examples to follow & Roger Federer
will win his 14th Grand Slam & possibly surpass it. Today Rafael Nadal
was better. Congratulations RAFA & thanks Roger:

Great match! I've never seen before crying Federer!

Striker, I have a question.
Atletico lost again and what about Aguirre? Is this the end? Is there any rumours or news in Madrid about who next?

Regards

Anonymous,
Spaniards, like most Western capitalist driven nations & their populations , are forgetting simple human values like solidarity & humility. Spaniards are everyday more individualist & less thinking for their fellow countryman, not all, most.

This youngman of 22 years of age, has shown us human lessons that all Spaniards, & everyone else should include in their daily lifes, or at least try.

Graciousness, nobleness & feeling for the other person.

The traditional sports ethics & values, as well.

Just my opinion

Cheers

Striker:

Your youtube link shows that the video has been removed. I have two links (uploaded at El Mundano TV) that are still working:

6 seconds of Federer’s tears:

And a short of clip of the great Rod Laver giving the trophy to Nadal, who afterwards comforts Federer (you can hear my 10 years old son enthusiastic approval):
