TENNIS AS ART - RAFAEL NADAL HAS INSPIRED
There has been match after match, when I have watched Rafael Nadal not only lift his own game, but his opponent's game has been lifted to a place never before seen. Rafa seems to help it all unfold in front of our eyes. Tennis has transcended just sport.
Semi-final
January 30, 2009
May...be.
Maybe
part bull match without the bulls.
It seemed to have blood-letting,
Heart drove the body,
Intuitive decisions
transcended what we think of as a tennis match.
Two Spanish Bulls
fighting
on a tennis court.
Maybe,
it was tennis,
but
maybe it was more.
It was also a dance,
a dance unscripted,
only to be improvised
by two choreographers
who made tennis art today.
It lifted the crowd out of their seats
It lifted our spirits.
This match
produced tennis as the champion
with two stars
baring their spirits for all the world to see.
