Yes he showed it very well in this match down 4-2 in the 5th, the Murray Semi-final match and against Federer at US Open Semis last year.
Being down 2 sets to 1 to Murray, I knew if Murray let up in the 4th, he would lose it. You just don't give a champion #1 player life. You keep the pedal on.
Being down 2 match points on Federer's serve at US Open he just let it fly, his cross court forehand, and then the pressure built on Federer the next point and he Nole win's the match. These are things to incorporate into your mental game as well as some his choice of shots. Something that Federer used to have against top players in the top moments.
That being said. Congratulations to Novak and his camp. But isn't his girlfriend just an annoying cheerleading &%$*#.
And I agree. He ain't no djoker but he may be a doper. Really, c'mon. He is doping up big time. Maybe he could win tour de france too. Soon enough he'll be Novak Landis or Novak Bonds and lose his Grand Slam titles & have to repay the money. This guy came on the tour tiring out and gasping for air through 3 or 4 set matches to nowadays going back to back 5-setters with no problem. And it is all because of a new fitness program and no gluten. That's BS. We know baseball players, cyclists, football, and some Argentine tennis players did it and were suspended/stripped of titles. I don't understand why his training crew made it so obvious. It will surface.
Nadal, I do not see him as a doper because even when he was 17 he was doing 4 and 5 sets with no problem. All players can get more pop in their serve from changing their mechanics which is not related to stamina. I do see a nice change in Novak's serve which looks natural though. However, the same annoying 10-to-15 second ball bouncing (down from 25 seconds a few yrs ago).
Endurance and stamina is not learned that dramatically, it is enhanced. And surely Nole is getting some performance juice (and it ain't from his annoying girlfriend). Doing an almost 5 hour set with Murray, then close to 6 hours with Nadal 2 days later. No chance. Maybe his bananas are bio-engineered?
Courier mentioned something during a previous post-game match. He said, "You don't breathe through your mouth, you keep it in your nose." Novak tried to ridicule the question knowing that Jim has a clue. Just like big time wall street guys and organized crime, they will try to stay 1 step ahead of the system even though it is illegal until they get caught. Just be like Moulder and believe.
And no, I am not a Nadal fan or Novak fan. Although Yes, it is good tennis. Hell, let em all use PEDs and see who wins then. I give the edge to Federer. This post will probably get ridiculed too.
