The players.Hantuchova Vs Serena Williams,
The game. Wimbledon 2007
It was great to watch the match between these two. Not because of the profile of the players involved or the importance of the match ...but because of something that made me think after watching in...
Everyone knew the outcome well in advance...everyone read about the drama that took place in the court. The injury, the fall, then the comeback n finally the winning of miss Williams..
All the articles n newspaper clippings spoke about the great Williams, her will power , her confidence, her determination.etc etc....yeah its true...when mixed with the literature of the leading newspapers, she was a legend that day..
But nowhere did I read about the one in the other side of the court.. Hantuchova. She was merely picturized as a supporting actress for promoting the main role of the game. Someone whom people used to make the other one immortal...
If thought through this with a pinch of empathy in it... We all could hear the weep of a person whom the whole world betrayed that day, just to glorify the other...situations like these appear very often, especially in sports…and situations like these have never been so kind to the person who bears the brunt..
What Hantuchova did was to play her game, the best possible way she could…. n still that day passed by without a word of appreciation..
She got completely covered in the shadows of a much hyped legend that people chose to ignore her.
Its like these instances, that kills the fire within to be the best.. or at times kindle the fire within to bring out the best. its situations like these that cuts down the desire to excel or at times help it build up…. These are the moments where either a legend starts growing or a legend is being shattered…
We will wait n watch..What effect this has brought in to Hantuchova..will she??
