00:00Roger Ferrell, one of the reasons why for me he will remain the greatest ever is not because he had
00:0820 grand slams.
00:09He'll be the greatest ever because he played a lot in pain and through pain.
00:15He was 41 when he retired and that means a lot.
00:19Interestingly, even against Rafael Nadal, most of the matches that he won were after he crossed the age of 33.
00:29Federer was losing a lot to Nadal but the last 8 or 10 matches that they played, Federer dominated.
00:37And that was after Federer had crossed the age of 33, 35, 38, 40.
00:42There was a phase in between where his backhand had totally broken.
00:48He was just slicing and also losing but he kept playing.
00:53And that's something I have found in all great players.
00:56They play through pain.
00:57They simply tell pain, come on, I don't care.
01:04And if you can learn to say I don't care to your body and everything associated with the body,
01:10you'll go very far.
