Tennis is one of the sports that I’d like to learn (yeah in my dreams!). My brother plays the sports every weekend, bringing with him his head rackets. He’s also fond of watching the sports on TV. According to him, the women’s single tennis match in the German Open was really amazing. I don’t know if you have watched it.

It reminds me of the David and Goliath battle in the bible stories. You have heard of the Williams sisters, and they sort of intimidate their opponent on the courts on account of their power and built. Some say they are the giants. That’s why Serena Williams is the top five women tennis player in the world with 17 matches unbeaten streak in the tour. She has her Wilson tennis racket to thank for the win too!

Today is a different story. A smaller player Dinara Safina, considered like David just had a great battle against Serena. The game was very dramatic as she out powered Williams’ to set her a place in the semi-finals with a great 2-6, 6-1, 7-6 (7/5) win. It’s an inspiration to see small players get their chance to win a game in tennis.

So what does it take to be a giant killer like Safina? Skill? Determination? Passion? A good pair of tennis shoes like New Balance tennis shoes? Whatever it is, the Russian player has this to say “When you work hard and practice all the time, but you don’t get the breaks you think ‘why, why, why? This sort of result just shows me that I am moving in the right direction.”
