Have you ever wondered how Nadal and Federer made it to the top? I certainly have. They made it because they can handle pressure on the tennis courts and we cant… simple.
There are many players out there that are physically better than Federer but because they cant put there mind in the correct state when they play big matches they will never be half as good as Federer.

When I watch Roger play anyone, it’s always the same unless Roger is having a lapse in his game.
You can see him develop a strategy, think, and gather his mental composure until he comes back into his game.
His opponents, which are few, need to go into their games with the utmost confidence and determination just to win a set.
The difference between Roger and the others is that Roger has a chess-like mind. I would call him the Bobby Fisher, or Boris Spaatzkie of Tennis. His talent is clearly a strong mental, ice-cool attitude.
