What an inspirational story???
So those of u who are tennis lovers might be waiting for the Winbledon which is starting after one month (June 20 - July 03). Everytime I listen anything remotely connected to Wimbledon, I remember this guy for whom this was the only grand slam he won.
Story goes back to many years back and the event is final of Wimbledon. One finalist from USA and the other finalist from some European country, lets say "string_country_name X". Stakes were high for this match as the guy from country X had won Wimbledon the previous year. Then, there is a 18 year old guy from college in country X who is watching the final on TV. He had no idea what lawn tennis meant before that final. The player from X wins the final and so the guy watching this final decides on learning tennis. He was really inspired by the player who made his country proud by winning Wimbledon. Next day onwards he starts playing tennis.
5 Years later, Wimbledon final again. Now the player from X who had won it three times by now almost confident of making it fourth time.. But he looses in straight sets - 4-6, 6-7, 4-6. The winner is none other than that same 18 year old guy talked about in the previous paragraph. What an inspirational stroy it is?? I think one of the most inspirational story I have ever read or heard.
Any guesse for the three players talked about in this post of mine...I have forgotten any other details related to what I told here. Could anyone do some googling and let me know the three names and the twos year I am talking about.

Certainly Everybody is inspired with something . This SOMETHING can be ANYTHING . Sometimes back Someone asked me WHO IS MY ROLEMODEL ? Anyone can be ROLEMODEL . Majority of times we do not know WHAT WE WANT . Jo mil gaya oosase kee KAAM chal gaya . aur ZINDAGI SMAPT.
Kuchh KARANA ..KYA Karana ..Kuchh PANA hai ..kya PANA hai ..jab tak yeh NAHI pata hoga..Kuchh bhee haaseel nahi hoga .
Mquaddar ka Bhee role hai .
hi dear drawing inspiration from somebody i could sketch my ambition in life;similarly i learnt &acquire certain virtues from different people.and all these combined together and built my character.so for me my character was not simply an imitative act but i did drew upon inspirations which eventually made me the person i m today.and i feel that i have drawn some inspiration from ur write-up.as far as the information u have asked for is concerned i dont have any idea.take care.

Hey prabhat,its really a great inspiring story.i think i can make a googly on this....
i think this story has taken from year1885-1886.in 1886 Boris baker (0f Germany) won against Ivan landal(most probab-fromCHEKOSLOVAKIYA)......AND THAT GUY WHO WAS 18 YRS OLD AT THAT TIME WAS MICHEL STICK(GERMANY) WHO WON AGAINST BORIS BAKER AFTER 5 YRS LATER.
HOPE INFORMATION WILL BE CORRECT.
TAKE CARE
