Analogy of the same can be drawn in real work situations where inspite of putting ones best foot forward, putting in a lot of hard work and still might not result in tangible success (completion of a great campaign, winning of a pitch, promotion, acknowledgement of good work). It can be heartbreaking and can drain down even the best of athletes. Happens to the best of the best to succumb under pressure, not able to maintain nerves and lose form at the final juncture. She has been in 3 grand slam finals before this and lost all of them.


She has been consistent year on year knocking on the door not getting bogged down by the regular losses in the finals. What really was missing in the entire scape of the recently crowned world no.1 was an elusive Grand Slam. Winning 17 ATP tournaments, 6 ITF titles, deservedly world no.1! All of this by the age of 27. She has been on top of her game for a long long time. This post is a celebration of the recently crowned French Open Champion Simona Halep and most importantly the journey to the top. Their morals, value system and work ethics! There is a so much to be learnt from each one of them. They are legends who have sweated it out day on day to make their mark in tennis history. I have been an ardent fan of tennis for the past two decades and have witnessed journeys of great players like Boris Becker, Martina Navartilova, Steffi Graf, Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Roger Federer, William Sisters and many more. That is the primary reason for the respect of the game and the legends it has created over the past few decades. Tennis has been one of the most tasking games and requires a great bit of fitness, tenacity and guts.
