Federer's Mona Lisa

" If Federer were a painter his Mona Lisa would be the match he played in the

Tennis Masters Cup Final in Shanghai 2007 against David Ferrer. It was a near

perfect match. That match might have changed the way players play the game

regarding court positioning." - ATP Tour Webpage.

After viewing this video, many people can attest to Federer's mighty greatness.

Great court awareness, positioning, transitions, anticipation, all the elements

are in tune during this match. Ferrer just couldn't keep up with Federer's game.

In another interview Federer stated, " I am a big believer in taking breaks to recover

such as going on vacations and putting the racket down to try and get inspired for the next

time you step on the court again to practice hard."

Great Players have the ability to MAINTAIN A HEALTHY PERSPECTIVE at all times.

"Tennis is life & Life is Tennis"
