Game plans work.
otherwise knows as how to not lose 18 matches in a row to the same person.
G’day from Melbourne!
Well, by now I am sure you heard how badly Tomas Berdych beat Rafael Nadal in the quarter finals. It was 6-2, 6-0, 7-6(5), but not that close. I an sure in the States you guys woke up and said WHOA! What in the world is happening here?
Well, I just wanted to pass on the story I wrote about the match. It’s all about having a game plan. I am not sure which is more mind blowing – somehow a player as good as Tomas Berdych loses 17 in a row to Rafael Nadal, or now he finally has a game plan and beats him that bad.
Anyway, it’s a must read for everyone out there following the tournament, and wanting to get better with your game, your coaching, or your understanding of the players you are watching on tv.
I have had so much fun the last 10 days covering the tournament as the official Australian Open analyst – lots of learning from the best players in the world!
Here’s some links to some recent stories I have written.
