Monday from premiere .After the Olympic gold, the Spanish number one debuts
And if something was missing for us to see him do lad, was hung to the neck Olympic gold medal and estremecerse child with a gesture of emotion, while izaba the flag of their country through the bottom of the national anthem. An image of remembrance.
In Beijing, the champion of Roland Garros and Wimbledon 2008 discovered a new world that fascinated him: part of a team-something we already knew to compete in Davis Cup tennis-but being a sport so lonely and so selfish, Rafita did not know So far, what is really belong to the team, as he himself never tires of mentioning in his stay in the Olympic village.
And learning that made him appreciate even more his Olympic gold and the humility to understand his greatness, living among major Spanish sports figures and the world, all with a history of sporting life full of glories that ranked the most event of excellence orb.
And among them was that the "Golden Boy", as he is known to Nadal, he learned a lot more of life than tennis-go, something that you know that-and continues to admire his humility, and how enjoying every moment, both inside and outside the stadium and that is precisely part of what makes today, the world's number one.
He arrived on August 18, and Rafa premiered its peak in the ATP ranking, with the excitement of holding the Olympic gold and a view towards the final Grand Slam of the year, the U.S. Open, where plans to re-run of their own and endorsed as the best figure of 2008 in the white sport.
Which boy was left with Roger Federer, and with all your records. I dare say, largely due to his attitude towards life, competition and circumstances, something that Roger seemed to lose since the start of the season, after more than six years to dominate the tennis scene and counting Now it with a rival sizes.
Today premieres Rafa Nadal as the world's number one, as the most popular Spanish, as the champion Angelo and more charismatic in the past two decades, because frankly since Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe and Ilie Nastase, we have not seen a player with more star Rafa, perhaps surpassed Andre Agassi in marketing, but equal, a concept very different from what we offered by the Spanish.
And perhaps also for identity, as Latinos we are, we will most definitely the personality of Rafah and we moved that he has delivered contagious love to the world.
The challenge now is to see how far this can reach number one in the world, because they have desfilado privileged few, some to just graze the glory, and others like Connors, McEnroe, Lendl, Sampras and Federer to make history.
Today premieres Rafa and now I dare to predict that this "Golden Boy" is destined to be one of the greatest of all time white sport. For the time being and his gold is historical and their arrival at the top of the ranking, an excellent omen.
