We never can be sure about the winner
by Barbora Misakova

There's such a saying in Slovak which says that the strongest wins, and I think it is true. We can see it through history and also in daily life. All wars ever, all card games, or job successes & always the strongest won. There is no doubt about this truth also in a sport. My personal opinion is that everyone should get a chance to show what he or she knows, what can do, and if they approve their ability they should be appreciated as winners. Even though we didn't expect just he could manage it. You probably know what I am going to talk about & yes about tennis. Tennis, the game where both tennis players try to be the strongest one. These days the biggest surprise was when second-rated Rafael Nadal was dominated by Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Rafael Nadal Parera, as his full name sounds, is one of the professional tennis players. He was born in Mallorca, Spain in 1986 and in his short carrier was in 2005 ranked No. 2 in the tennis world. He managed to become Grand Slam champion three times and three times in a row won French Open. That's why the biggest surprise in this year's Australian Open finals was his gaming loss where 38-ranked Tsonga win with 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 victory. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is a French tennis player, whose tennis carrier wasn't so shining as his rival's was but his skills slowly leads him higher between world tennis players. In his game with Nadal, Tsonga with his 12 unforced errors and 17 aces clearly showed he is going to be stronger tennis player than others expected. After very quick and clean match he became a winner and celebrated it by jumping around the court. After the game he added: "It's like a dream. Every day is like a dream. I can't believe it's true." Nadal on the question of what was happening on the court answered only "Nothing." After that he expressed he is fascinated by the way of Tsonga's play, but immediately added that the reason why he lose is that Tsonga is on the top of his tennis carrier and under no pressure at the same time, that's why Nadal doesn't think Tsonga would be able to play like that all the time. How long will Tsonga keep this way of playing we will see in a short time & he will face the winner of Friday's semifinal in which Roger Federer will play against Novak Djokovic.
