Comebacks

This is a tennis post. Have not done one in a while.
Have not watched much lately. Have not played much as well.

But this morning I saw the Nadal - Del Potro match at the Rogers Cup in Montreal. Nadal lost 7-6, 6-1. He made many mistakes and was outplayed. Del Potro was serving well.

But you have to cut Nadal some slack, after all it's his first tournament since the French Open in May. Much has change. He was unable to defend his Wimbledon crown and subsequently lost the World No.1 ranking to Federer.

Maria Sharapova is also making a comeback, with decent results even though she's still not near her best, especially the serve. If u heard Kim Clijsters is also back on tour, playing in Cincinnati after retiring 2 years ago. She defeated a number of top players this week before losing to No.1 Safina.
Comebacks are never easy, otherwise it wouldn't be called a COME BACK rite? Being out and down for some time means it will take lots of effort to get back to where you once were.
But it's really inspiring to see some of my favourite players so determined to get back on top.
Makes me wanna try even harder =)
