As soon as you hear Kvitova screech like a bird of prey,
you know she's getting hot. She's a somewhat shy person,
but once she gets hot, she's not shy at all.
Pliskova served more aces last year,
more than anyone except Serena Williams. She
has a very keen eye, let me tell you. Every time
she challenged a ball in Sydney, she was
correct.
Kvitova is one of the best, maybe THE best
player in Woman's tennis these days, so it's shocking
to see her unseeded countrywoman
in the process of almost beating her.This is the woman's
FINAL at Sydney. And for a while there,
Pliskova was thrashing Kivitova ( who whipped our
beloved young lady Bouchard - like an egg-sucking
dog in Montreal last year.)
To thrash Kvitova for three of four games is
remarkable. I'm quite sure both of these strong keen-
eyed women are over six feet. And both these ladies
have considerable arm strength
The two are so competitive, no one backed down -
they both wore the same colour tennis outfit to the
finals..... Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this
like two women wearing the same dress to a party,
knowing the embarrassing situation that
will occur, but refusing to back down - wearing
the same dress anyway. COMPETITIVE behaviour!
This is a good thing.
As the announcer said, "Stop thinking. Get a
clear purpose. And execute."
Things move so fast, there is no time for
thought. The same principle applies in the
martial arts.
Considerable strength of determined
concentration is required to win. People get
nervous and start to screw up when they're
just about to be champion.
If you know in your own head that
being champ is situation normal for you,
if you can picture yourself as winner...
if you practice seeing yourself winning again
and again and again - seeing yourself
in that light. This makes that final step
a lot easier.
