Its a common theme amongst the more recent Grand Slam winners (and also AFL premiers).
That never say die attitude seems to be the one that gets them across the line more frequently. It actually becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Because you never give up, you are never out of the contest. Because you know you dont give up, when you win one of these points it fuels the belief that no matter how badly you are being beaten at the time, you are never really out of it. This becomes something that makes others worried about you. That mentality is the hardest thing for these guys to overcome.
Ive seen my fair share of tennis players. They are all capable of playing great tennis, and most of them are carbon copies of each other these days with varying strengths and weaknesses, but the one thing that the champions have over everyone else, is an unwaivering belief that they can win. This is a double advantage, because most of their opponents don't believe they can beat them because of that exact same factor.
