I'm always impressed when athletes are able to gruel through a gut wrenching match/game and have the first words out of their mouths be only respect for their opposition. Raphael Nadal just finished one of the most intense matches of tennis against the juggernaut of the tennis world, Rodger Federer, and he still gave it up to his opponent.“He’s still No. 1,” Nadal said. “He’s still the best. He’s still five-time champion here and I only have one, so for me it is very, very important.”
Trash talking and exuberance is nice entertainment but it takes a real sport to acknowledge your counterparts.
