Wow, what a final that was earlier! Don't know if anyone else is in to tennis but I was in awe watching this one - the shot retrieval from Medvedev was unreal and then Rafa winding back the clock in his time machine, showing us what Champions are made of coming from 2 sets to love down and battling after 5 and a half hours.
This was the first time he'd won the Australian Open since 2009 but saw him reach a record number of 21 grand slam titles.
I've arguably got a more important match next weekend against some local riff-raff in a league that I have to pay to play in and if I hit a shot out the court, I have to go and get it myself.
Think we know who's tennis royalty here though right?
I did post a couple of weeks ago about how I was playing a bit better after reading a book about the mindset around tennis. One of the things it suggested was to watch pro players and how they hit the ball.
Something to do with how our body is able to re-enact what we see and/or visualise it. Monkey see, monkey do I guess?
Next practice night is on Tuesday so I'll go hell for leather and see what happens! If I can get away without hitting a ball into the car park, I'll count that as a victory 😂
Referencing the time machine earlier on, here's a track I made with that title. A highly enjoyable collab with :
