The Spaniard Rafael Nadal simply took everything from his opponent Roger Federer to conquer his fourth consecutive French Open title.

Despite Nadal’s already accomplished grand slams being four of those French Opens; the experience and retired tennis player Bjorn Borg did venture to make some predictions before the final game between Nadal vs. Federer, which by the way were the complete opposite.

“A lot of people say no one can beat Nadal the way he’s been playing. But I think Roger has a really, really good chance,” the great Swede said on the eve of Sunday’s final. But Borg was wrong, Federer got beat 6-1, 6-3,6-0.

“I think it’s going to be a really open final. I think it’s going to be a long match, very close, close match, and if Roger wins Paris, no doubt he’s the greatest player who ever played the game,” said Borg.

Borg was wrong again, Rafael Nadal won the most uneven men’s final in Paris, France ever since 1977 and this became the shortest final since 1980 as it only took one hour 48 minutes.

The game was only one sided, Nadal was uncomfortable to rejoice his title win whereas Roger Federer was even more humiliated to received the runner’s up 530,000 Euros check.

From the time when Federer has his first debut at the French Open in 1999, he has accumulated149 wins and 23 losses record. However; none of those losses will upset and hurt him as much as this Sunday’s final against Nadal.

Federer, who has built up his reputation to be the number one and defeating his opponents in consistent ways, for once, was the one receiving an absolute massacre by Rafael Nadal.  Unquestionably; that wasn’t the exhibition fans expected from the 12-times Grand Slam champion.

“After a loss like this you don’t want to play Rafa again tomorrow, that’s for sure,” claimed a shell-shocked Federer.

As an alternative for Federer to become the man to win all four major grand slam titles, Federer received the merit of becoming the first tennis player to lose three times in a row the French Open (Roland Garros) finals.

Nadal’s game was impressive, solid and unstoppable during the whole tournament; he became the first tennis player since Borg in 1980 to win the French Open without loosing a set, proving with that clay is his court regardless what others can suggest.

Also; as Borg… Nadal is the only tennis player to win four consecutive titles since the event was proclaimed international in 1925. Critics said that probably only Nadal’s health could stop him from expanding his record of 28-0 at Roland Garros in 2009.

After his triumph in France, people ask him to explain the secret of his success, and Rafael Nadal replies saying: : “Well, if you have no special motivation for a tournament like Roland Garros you can retire, go home, fishing, have a boat, enjoy the life, no?”

Now for Federer his focus turns to the green lawns of Wimbledon where he has been undefeated for five years. Unluckily for Federer, Nadal will be closer breaking at his feet. However; we shall expect to enjoy lots of action as very likely these two incredible players will meet again for the All England Club Crown.

Along with golf, bowling is one of the more popular recreational sports a person of any age and gender can play. Participating in activities like these brings about not only physical benefits but social ones as well – the secret being that one enjoys the game regardless of whether they win or lose.

But that is not to say that a recreational bowler should simply settle for mediocre results. In fact, enjoyment of the game can only increase if the scores proportionally increase as well. In order to accomplish this, a bowler has to develop a consistent bowling game that works on maintaining good technique and improving on problem areas.

Attitude

Being able to bowl consistently is challenging, but not impossible for the average bowler. The first requirement, of course, is the drive to want to get better at the game. Hours and hours of coaching and practice will not get a lot of results if your attitude is less than enthusiastic.

A little help

Even if you have no intentions of bowling professionally, getting a coach to help with your game can increase your game’s efficiency. This is because a coach is able to watch and analyze your movements to see what you are doing right and what you’re doing wrong. You don’t even have to get a one-on-one coach. Classes of about six students to a coach are perfectly fine and a lot cheaper, while allowing the right amount of focus a coach can give each student. If no coach is available, ask a friend who you think has a better game for some help.

Practice – even outside the lanes!

The recommended practice time for a recreational bowler is around 4 to 6 hours a week. If you think that’s a lot, realize that an average visit to the lanes is no less than two hours. (Of course, it is another matter if it was spent practicing or spending time at the snack bar.)

At the lanes, practice with a schedule. Start with some warm up exercises to avoid injury. Then while you’re still fresh, work on the problem areas of your game. The areas you have less problems with can be worked on after the problems have been addressed.

Even when you’re not in the lanes, you can still practice your approach and swing. Try this in an area where the flooring most resembles the alley to get a consistent feel.

All it takes is a positive attitude coupled with disciplined practice to improve. The fun doesn’t only come from averaging above 180, but also from the fact your hard work is paying off.

Imagine the following situation. Every time you step onto the tennis court whether it’s to play a regular tennis game, a practise match or a competitive match – you WIN!

No, this is not a tennis how to serve lesson because that alone will not win you matches.

No, this not some kind of tennis act where I tell you to watch the tennis ball better and you learn absolutely nothing.

No, you can’t get this advice from your local tennis shop, and there are no special tennis terms for what you are about to learn.

No, you can’t just pop a tennis video on and learn it either.

BUT…

Yes, it is possible and I am going to show you how to do it!

So here goes – The tennis information on how to win every time you play guide.

First things first, a true story (yes it really is true!)

The whole “tennis how to win every time you play” thing started a long time ago when I learnt how to do it and finished most recently with one of the ladies I have started to coach!

Now previously, like most people I coach and see, Karen mainly judged her weeks’ tennis on how many games and matches she had won. It also revolved around how she was still unable to beat this player or that player even though she was convinced she was the “better” tennis player with the “better” tennis shots (and the better tennis kit).

Everything was brought into sharp focus one day when I decided we would play doubles against one of the other local coaches and their pupil. We played and lost! But it was Karen’s inability to reproduce the form she had been showing just 10 minutes earlier in the warm up lesson (and she was playing well).

We talked about things and I outlined some of the strategies I have in my Tennis Matchplay System Report at www.beatallthetennisplayersyouwant.com which is written for and works for players of all tennis levels and after a bit of head shaking she began to see that winning tennis matches was not all about just hitting tennis balls.

The following week we played the same pair and drew, with Karen playing much better, saying she just tried to play and place her shots better. Even though we had drawn the match, in her eyes she had made serious progress and in some way even had the feelings of having won (I think you might be seeing where I am going with this).

This was bought up another level the week after when she told me she had played some mixed doubles with a guy during the week and had lost. But she said for the first time since she started playing she realised that although they had lost the doubles as a pair, she was really happy with how she had played.

”Even though WE lost” she told me, “I, felt like I had won!”

And that is exactly the right way to approach things!

And that is exactly the right way for YOU to approach things!

So, from TODAY stop focusing on the OUTCOME when you play i.e. Win or Lose and start focusing on the PROCESS when you play i.e. raising your 1st serve percentage, cutting down on unforced errors etc.

If you think about it, just improving on a couple of things like your 1st serve percentage and unforced errors will help you WIN more matches anyway.

But, if you improve on the 1 or 2 factors that you choose to focus on (and I recommend you only choose 1 or 2), and lose the match then your opponent was probably too good BUT you can look back at the match with a really positive outlook in the knowledge that if you continue to focus on and improve on separate facets of your game you will be improving your tennis rankings and improving your tennis game out of sight…….and THAT is the way to WIN every time you play!

Remember & start it today.
