Observing Djokovic, observing greatness

Another Tennis Grand Slam has rolled around. And as groundhog day would have it, Novak Djokovic is poised to play a big role in it, yet again.

Against the odds of his advanced age of 37 and the arrival of new stars, Djokovic remains the uncontested number 1 in the ATP rankings.

So for the devotees of greatness among us, this is another opportunity to watch and learn from someone who has perfected his craft more than any other athlete in history.

We love sport because it offers so many lessons applicable to our everyday lives. Maybe Djokovic’s Roland Garros will hold some more lessons in presence, in flexibility and in grace.
