^Thanks Nyssa - summer colds SUCK.
Indeed, Maria came through and for sure, her experience and tenacity helped out alot.
Robson played a great great match though.
You ever hear of Boris Becker's famous line? Specifically about the 5th set at Wimbledon but he later expanded on his philosophy.
Basically Becker said that in his experience, at the highest levels of tennis, at the most critical points, it is not so much the actual tennis that counts the most. It is the nerve of the player, the deep in the chest guts, the undeniable will to win and an unshakeable belief in themselves that ultimately matters.
I have always found this bit of pop psychology interesting and very applicable not just to tennis, but to any competitive endeavor.
This is what separates Michael Jordan from LeBron James. Fed and Nadal from Murray and Joker [though Joker is fast working on that]. etc, etc, etc...
