AMAZING!!!! I was so moved by your determination and passion. Congratulations friend!
Losing earlier clay court tournaments is also a strategy of Nadal to boost overconfidence in the likely foes among the likes Novak, Ferrer, Murray et al.Good strategy. Congrats Toni, a master strategist indeed.
Congratulations……. more more power God Bless…….
