Thumbs up to Serena!
"I think mental toughness is to be honest with you, I mean mental toughness is just being able to survive, not on the tennis court, but I think off the court, getting through a lot of things in life. I think mental toughness comes from off the court." - Serena Williams March 31st 2007
Well, to me, at least at this moment, when I think of mental toughness, I think of Serena Williams. It's amazing how she does it time and time again, to fight back from an impossible situation, come back and win her matches. And she does it against the best of the game too, it's difficult to comprehend really. When you know a little bit of what Serena has been through, it's easy to imagine how she can get inspired and not get down on herself even in the toughest of times, on court or not.
But yesterday was still special, even by Serena's standard. Other than Serena, I would say Justine is possibly the best fighter on tour and she certainly gives a great example of mental strength. So after seeing Serena being able to rally back after a terrible start and being so close of losing the match, I have to say Kudos Serena, well done!
