Temparement over Talent

Temperament over Talent?

“The angry man will defeat himself.”

The mercurial Marat Safin has lost at Wimbledon. Why am I not surprised?
Marat Safin is a famously talented player one of the supreme players on the circuit. Yet everyone is aware that against Mr. Safin he will always have a chance.
The irony here is that we need more of personality in sports. And Mr. Safin is definitely a personality.
To be an all conquering force he needs to overcome the mental demons.
And lets be honest only Marat Safin can help Marat Safin.
Temperamental, mercurially talented and yet incredibly popular, ever wonder why he is John Mcenroe’s favorite player.
