9. Getting Ready at Locker Room
Here comes the jitter. You are a few minutes away from what is probably the biggest match in your life. This Wimbledon’s locker room has witnessed many nervous moments those champions had.
In the beginning of the tournament, this locker room is filled with many players and their coaches. As the elimination takes them one by one, it gets quieter until it is down to two contenders.
Former champions said that they tried to keep it cool when they crossed path with the opponents here. Perhaps even tried to avoid eye contact.
Because at that stage, you cannot afford to be distracted by anything. Even a Grand Slam champion is still a human. They need all the positive thoughts they need before the match.
