This past week I tuned in and watched a few of the women’s and men’s Wimbledon Tennis finals. Exhilarating news when Milos Raonic beat Roger Federer in the semi-final thus making history at Wimbledon and became the first Canadian man to make it to the finals. Milos is 25 and showed confidence. He was coached by the former Wimbledon champion John McEnroe. I really felt for Milos because 99% of the applauses were directed at Federer…a well known player.
Today, Raonic faced the famous Andy Murray age 29 from Scotland and he didn’t show his best. Therefore the Canadian professional lost Wimbledon to Murray in three difficult sets. Murray was a much more polished experienced player than Milos. Milos was convinced that he would make history by becoming the first Canadian ever to win the Gram Slam title. In 2014, Eugenie Bouchard also made it to the women’s finals but lost. Milos wanted to be the youngest man to win the title however, half way through the sets the pressure was getting to him according to his coach. He definitely has to work on the mental aspect of the game.Tennis in Canada is really becoming noticeable and is beginning to take off.
