"V" IS FOR VICTORY
Hello Everyone!
Where should I begin….!I’VE WON THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN! YES!
When I finally celebrated my last point I felt something I’ve never felt before, it was a more peaceful victory compared to the one in Roland Garros and Wimbledon but at the same time, it was come completed. And I know why it was that way.
I grew up as a clay-courter and my style of game adapted to that: I learned to push my opponents out of the court and that made me wear out my physic with some much running around and long rallies.
But my uncle Tony and I knew that my game had to have more dimensions to it so that I could have the same kind of results on other surfaces. I had to change my game radically, more direct and aggressive. I had to improve my service as well and control my game when going up to the net. Make my shots flatter and my volley more accurate.
We had lots of work ahead of us for sure.
Every year we’ve had improve my game on hard courts and even though I bit Djoko in the final of the Olympic games, this final against Roger Federer, (who has recuperated his form) was going to be a test of fire for me.
But we made it!
All the hard work, the dedication I put into it was well worth it. And that is what sport is really about. A victory tastes amazing only if it is the result of hard work.
THANK YOU ALL OF ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT!

That was fast. Maybe he can't sleep? I've got a cure for that.
Too bad he can't remember who he played in the finals of the Olympics. ;)
