Playing against the devil for your soul

When I think about why Rafael Nadal is my favourite tennis player, there's the epic rivalry, the legendary achievements, and the humble attitude in victory and defeat. But also.

I recently came across an online discussion that asked: if you had to win a tennis match against the devil for your soul, who would you choose to play for you?

Lots of people said Nadal.

Even lots of Federer fans said Nadal.

1. Because he would fight for it with everything he's got.
2. Because he never cracks under pressure.

And yeah. I would agree. The physical endurance is one thing, but the mental strength is something else.
