1. The Rafa lesson- There is no substitute for sheer hard work and determination and grit and sweat and blood and tears. Need I say more?
2. The Ferrer lesson-- it is not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.
3. The Sod and Berdych lesson-- if at first you don't succeed, keep trying. Not all of us come into our greatness right away.
4. The Roddick lesson: There is nothing better and professional consistency and hard work-- Roddick in the top 10 the last 7 years speaks volumes.
5. The Fed lesson-- the class with which you do something matters as much as what you accomplish.
6. The Gulbis/Monfils/Gasquet lesson-- no matter how talented you are, if you don't put in the work or have the head and heart, you will not reach greatness.
7. The Murray and Djoko lesson-- capitalize quickly and forcefully when your window is open, because it closes fast.
8. Rafa lesson #2-- constantly be looking for ways to transform, adapt, and change your "game" for the better.
9. The Fed lesson # 2-- ultimately you are alone out there (he basically has no coach) with others surrounding you who love and care about you-- it is up to YOU!
10. The Rafa lesson # 3-- it is all about head and heart and mental toughness!!!
AD OUT...
