"The greater the challenge, the more glory in overcoming it." -Novak Djokovic

This is Djokovic's motto. I know it's not originally his quote, but I feel like it's close enough. So he just lost out yesterday on the opportunity to play for gold. So now, my two favorite tennis players have to battle it out for the bronze. Naturally, I want Djokovic to win. Yesterday I was in a depressed funk that I couldn't get out of, probably because I was watching tennis videos. I really think he deserved the gold more than anyone else in the Olympics. I love his story, so I'm going to share a video of him on 60 Minutes:


Not only does he inspire me, but he's also a great guy. I mean, he's literally perfect. I think he deserves it more than any other tennis player. Here's an awesome long fan video that is made really well:


So I am super disappointed, but I think that the quote he lives by pertains here. When he wins, I think it means more. He works for everything, and he has overcome so much. That's why he's my favorite. He was also my favorite thing to watch in the opening ceremonies, which were amazing. Here's a picture:

I love his facial expression. He's just so happy to be there!
That's all for today! I'll be back soon.
