My task this week is to reverse an established pattern, but I will be applying "sides" by watching a tennis match and side against my favourite player.
So I watched the Cincinnati Masters Final 2018 with Roger Federer against Novak Djokovic for the crowning title as champion of the tournament.
The match was pretty gut-wrenching, as both of the players were challenging each other for the win. Djokovic was unable to beat Federer in this ATP Masters three years prior, and had to be in top form to be able to beat him this time.
In this particular match, however, Federer's consistency in playing was unequal with the strength and ferocity of his opponent. It would seem after the many matches leading up to the final poured out his versatility, and gave Djoko the upper hand, resulting in a 6-4, 6-4 victory for Djokovic.
Novak is the only player to have won all the ATP Masters 1000 tournaments since it started in 1990. This match was definitely a "must-win" for Djokovic, and is an outstanding achievement for the Serbian.
Congratulations, Djokovic! You have earned the title of champion!
This week has taught me to play. Next week awaits!
