‘My only pressure is to play well and not to win,’ Renowned psychiatrist hails Rafael Nadal’s mental grit as he revisits 2008 Wimbledon final against Roger Federer
Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer , the two tennis legends, clashed with each other many times. However, the 2007 and 2008 Wimbledon finals were notable, among many others. Recently, psychiatrist and mental trainer Christophe Bernelle discussed what went behind Nadal’s maiden Wimbledon trophy in the 2008 edition.
Nadal has won just two Wimbledon titles. He was close to winning it in 2007, but Federer took home the trophy in a match that lasted for three hours and 45 minutes. Nadal lost it with a scoreline of 7–6 (9–7), 4–6, 7–6 (7–3), 2–6, 6–2.
