"I'm never serious when it's time to play."
I'm sitting with two people playing poker and having the time of their lives while at it. Granted they're playing with pennies, which significantly reduces the pressure to win, but their attitude is a lot more fun than the game itself.
Speaking of which, Nadal was great at the Wimbledon finals this morning. He put up a good fight and a great attitude about his defeat. I suppose you're taught to put on a brave face, smile at your opponent, and console yourself with images of your own, not-too-far-off victory.
It's always amazing to see passion in form regardless of whether the outcome is victory or defeat. It could be a good hand of poker or a tough game of tennis because nothing beats a good sport.
Unless, of course you're at the mercy of five of the highest cards of the same suit. Then it's pretty much time to lose your poker face and hand over your pennies.
