Happy Mondays

Tennis isn't often the talk of the FF office but today is the exception. Andy Murray's brilliant win over Rafa Nadal last night has got everyone at Fantastic Fireworks enthusing. Having a British winner to cheer in international sport is such a morale-booster most of us have even forgotten it's Monday morning! What I most admire about Murray is his tenacity, his dogged determination to hang in there. We can all learn something from that. Even though he went into the game with a 0-5 record of defeats agains the World Number One, I always thought that sooner or later the tables would be turned. He's a year younger than Nadal and his star is still rising. It will be interesting to see who achieves the longer-term success.
