his opponent, willing himself to
victory.
It has paid off. When he won the
2022 Australian Open, Rafa earned
his 21st Grand Slam singles title—
the most of any male tennis player in
history.
I admire athletes who push
themselves to the limit, and I’m
absolutely inspired every time Rafatakes the court. There’s something
to be learned from watching
his determination, his strategy,
everything that it takes for him to
never take any moment for granted.
He’s forever going to be remembered
as one of the very best athletes in all
of sports.NADAL: THE NEW YORK TIMES/REDUX; COURTESY NADINE SMITH Brady is a seven-time NFL champion
