Inspiration
In his quarterfinal at Wimbledon, Novak Djokovic found himself down two sets to love. He took a break between the 2nd and 3rd sets, specifically,
"a toilet break . . . a pep talk in the mirror . . . and regathering my thoughts."
He went on to win the match in five sets, commenting,
"The inner fight is always the bigger fight." During his semifinal match, he again faced a deficit. After another comeback, he stated, "The more you
experience these kind of situations, not the better you feel, but just
more prepared you feel. You know what to expect. It's always really about handling your own nerves better than maybe your opponent is his own. This internal battle is always the greatest."
As Plato said, “The first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself." Djokovic is in an introspective and intelligent player. He has come to understand himself and his internal battle, and that is why he is so successful. Congratulations to Novak Djokovic on winning his 21st major, and 4th Wimbledon in a row.
