French Open: Rafael Nadal's usual brilliance in an uncertain 2020 made his title win even more special

Sometimes in sports, you sit in front of your TV screen and simply enjoy watching a match or a game. Other times, you walk away with lessons that can last you a lifetime.

Observing Rafael Nadal in action often leaves you with the latter – at least that was the case these past two weeks in Paris, where the Spaniard stormed to a record-extending 13th Roland Garros crown and a record-equalling 20th Grand Slam title.

Nadal triumphing on Parisian clay is nothing new; in fact he’s done it 100 times before, literally. The 34-year-old owns a 100-2 win-loss mark at the French Open, which might make you wonder: why is his victory over Novak Djokovic in the final on Sunday any different from what he’s achieved at Roland Garros in the past?

In some ways it wasn't. Nadal has had the upper hand against Djokovic in seven of their eight meetings on Paris' terre battue. But in a year like 2020, where everything has been different and the world has been turned on its head by a deadly virus, pulling off the same, consistent result as you've done in past seasons is in itself a miracle.

Nadal usually arrives in Paris each May with two or three titles under his belt, captured on his beloved clay. This year, he got to the French capital with just three matches contested on the surface in the build-up.

Also it wasn’t May, but September, since Roland Garros had to move in the calendar due to the pandemic. The weather was cold, the tournament had new heavier balls and the conditions were pretty much the opposite of what Nadal prefers to play on.

“I was also thinking that these conditions are more favourable to me. But Rafa has proven everybody wrong. That's why he's a great champion,” Djokovic said on Sunday following his crushing three-set defeat to the Mallorcan.

Nadal is known to be a creature of habit. He likes to stay in the same hotel each year in Paris during the tournament, he places his water bottles in exactly the same spot on court during matches, facing a certain way, and he goes through a meticulous routine before every serve he hits. Yet, it’s his capacity to adapt that gave him the edge this year at Roland Garros.

Nadal's trophy tour

“Rafa is Rafa. I think he knows how to improve. He knows how to practice, how to do everything. After [I beat him in] Rome, he goes straight to practice. He went to improve the things that he did bad in Rome. That's why he's in the final right now,” said Diego Schwartzman after his semi-final loss to Nadal in Paris on Friday.

Nadal doesn’t toot his own horn that often but he did give himself a pat on the back for his attitude towards everything he had to tackle during the tournament.

“I was able to adapt well. I was able to be positive in every circumstances that I was facing during the whole event, trying to accept all the challenges in terms of sometimes the feeling on the ball haven't been great because of the cold and everything,” explained the world No 2.

“But I take it in a positive way, no? I just tried to work every day with the right determination, looking for my goals. I think this is one of the Roland Garros [titles] that have a better personal value for myself.”

That attitude can be contagious. We talk a lot about ‘greatness’ in sport, and one of the key factors to be considered when trying to quantify an athlete’s greatness is his impact on those around him, those competing against him or those watching from close or afar.

Former US Open champion Sloane Stephens was one of the scores of players to congratulate Nadal on Sunday after his win.

“Truly amazing @RafaelNadal !! An incredible athlete and more importantly an incredible person. Thank you for what you’ve done for our sport & our communities,” tweeted Stephens.

Arab No 1, Ons Jabeur, told reporters earlier during Roland Garros that she initially didn’t feel like competing in Paris under such tricky autumnal conditions. Guess who inspired her to change her attitude?

“I'm going to be honest here. I was like, ‘Why are we playing?’” the Tunisian said of her first reaction upon arriving at the tournament.

“Then obviously I was looking how Rafa was taking this whole situation. To be honest, if he's a champion and he doesn't complain about it, I mean, who am I to complain about it right now?”

A few days later, Jabeur became the first Arab woman in history to reach the last 16 at Roland Garros. Nadal is obviously not why the 26-year-old hit a new milestone at the French Open, but it’s always helpful when you can gain that little extra perspective from one of the greatest the sport has ever seen.

Nadal is now on level terms with Federer at the top of the men’s all-time list of most Grand Slam singles titles won. He had been trailing the Swiss in that category his entire career, ever since he lifted his first major in Paris 15 years ago.

Moments after defeating Djokovic on Court Philippe-Chatrier on Sunday, Nadal spoke to the crowd, not about what it means to him to finally sit atop the Grand Slam leaderboard, but about the difficult times we’re collectively going through right now.

“Just keep going, stay positive and all the very best, together probably we will go through this and we will beat the virus soon,” he said on court.

He later added in his press conference: “Of course, it’s an important day for me, but I'm not stupid, no? It’s still a very sad situation worldwide.”

At the start of Roland Garros, Nadal acknowledged the context in which the tournament was being held. “It is sad, I can't say otherwise. A tournament under these conditions… But maybe that's what it needs to feel like. It needs to be sad, so many people in the world are suffering,” he stated.

Nadal struck the same tone throughout his entire 2020 Roland Garros journey, from start to finish. Whether he was chasing glory, or had already achieved it, he reminded us all of what truly matters, and that sport, and his role in it, should never be a distraction from what’s happening around us. Instead, it could be an inspiration for ways to deal with it.

Another life lesson from the wise Spaniard!

Mercer, the investment consulting arm of US services company Marsh & McLennan, expects its wealth division to at least double its assets under management (AUM) in the Middle East as wealth in the region continues to grow despite economic headwinds, a company official said.

Mercer Wealth, which globally has $160 billion in AUM, plans to boost its AUM in the region to $2-$3bn in the next 2-3 years from the present $1bn, said Yasir AbuShaban, a Dubai-based principal with Mercer Wealth.

Within the next two to three years, we are looking at reaching $2 to $3 billion as a conservative estimate and we do see an opportunity to do so,” said Mr AbuShaban.

Mercer does not directly make investments, but allocates clients’ money they have discretion to, to professional asset managers. They also provide advice to clients.

“We have buying power. We can negotiate on their (client’s) behalf with asset managers to provide them lower fees than they otherwise would have to get on their own,” he added.

Mercer Wealth’s clients include sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and insurance companies among others.

From its office in Dubai, Mercer also looks after Africa, India and Turkey, where they also see opportunity for growth.

Wealth creation in Middle East and Africa (MEA) grew 8.5 per cent to $8.1 trillion last year from $7.5tn in 2015, higher than last year’s global average of 6 per cent and the second-highest growth in a region after Asia-Pacific which grew 9.9 per cent, according to consultancy Boston Consulting Group (BCG). In the region, where wealth grew just 1.9 per cent in 2015 compared with 2014, a pickup in oil prices has helped in wealth generation.

BCG is forecasting MEA wealth will rise to $12tn by 2021, growing at an annual average of 8 per cent.

Drivers of wealth generation in the region will be split evenly between new wealth creation and growth of performance of existing assets, according to BCG.

Another general trend in the region is clients’ looking for a comprehensive approach to investing, according to Mr AbuShaban.

“Institutional investors or some of the families are seeing a slowdown in the available capital they have to invest and in that sense they are looking at optimizing the way they manage their portfolios and making sure they are not investing haphazardly and different parts of their investment are working together,” said Mr AbuShaban.

Some clients also have a higher appetite for risk, given the low interest-rate environment that does not provide enough yield for some institutional investors. These clients are keen to invest in illiquid assets, such as private equity and infrastructure.

“What we have seen is a desire for higher returns in what has been a low-return environment specifically in various fixed income or bonds,” he said.

“In this environment, we have seen a de facto increase in the risk that clients are taking in things like illiquid investments, private equity investments, infrastructure and private debt, those kind of investments were higher illiquidity results in incrementally higher returns.”

The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, one of the largest sovereign wealth funds, said in its 2016 report that has gradually increased its exposure in direct private equity and private credit transactions, mainly in Asian markets and especially in China and India. The authority’s private equity department focused on structured equities owing to “their defensive characteristics.”

The Africa Institute 101

Housed on the same site as the original Africa Hall, which first hosted an Arab-African Symposium in 1976, the newly renovated building will be home to a think tank and postgraduate studies hub (it will offer master’s and PhD programmes). The centre will focus on both the historical and contemporary links between Africa and the Gulf, and will serve as a meeting place for conferences, symposia, lectures, film screenings, plays, musical performances and more. In fact, today it is hosting a symposium – 5-plus-1: Rethinking Abstraction that will look at the six decades of Frank Bowling’s career, as well as those of his contemporaries that invested social, cultural and personal meaning into abstraction.

Tips for job-seekers
  • Do not submit your application through the Easy Apply button on LinkedIn. Employers receive between 600 and 800 replies for each job advert on the platform. If you are the right fit for a job, connect to a relevant person in the company on LinkedIn and send them a direct message.
  • Make sure you are an exact fit for the job advertised. If you are an HR manager with five years’ experience in retail and the job requires a similar candidate with five years’ experience in consumer, you should apply. But if you have no experience in HR, do not apply for the job.

Normcore explained

Something of a fashion anomaly, normcore is essentially a celebration of the unremarkable. The term was first popularised by an article in New York magazine in 2014 and has been dubbed “ugly”, “bland’ and "anti-style" by fashion writers. It’s hallmarks are comfort, a lack of pretentiousness and neutrality – it is a trend for those who would rather not stand out from the crowd. For the most part, the style is unisex, favouring loose silhouettes, thrift-shop threads, baseball caps and boyish trainers. It is important to note that normcore is not synonymous with cheapness or low quality; there are high-fashion brands, including Parisian label Vetements, that specialise in this style. Embraced by fashion-forward street-style stars around the globe, it’s uptake in the UAE has been relatively slow.

Dubai works towards better air quality by 2021

Dubai is on a mission to record good air quality for 90 per cent of the year – up from 86 per cent annually today – by 2021.

The municipality plans to have seven mobile air-monitoring stations by 2020 to capture more accurate data in hourly and daily trends of pollution.

These will be on the Palm Jumeirah, Al Qusais, Muhaisnah, Rashidiyah, Al Wasl, Al Quoz and Dubai Investment Park.

“It will allow real-time responding for emergency cases,” said Khaldoon Al Daraji, first environment safety officer at the municipality.

“We’re in a good position except for the cases that are out of our hands, such as sandstorms.

“Sandstorms are our main concern because the UAE is just a receiver.

“The hotspots are Iran, Saudi Arabia and southern Iraq, but we’re working hard with the region to reduce the cycle of sandstorm generation.”

Mr Al Daraji said monitoring as it stood covered 47 per cent of Dubai.

There are 12 fixed stations in the emirate, but Dubai also receives information from monitors belonging to other entities.

“There are 25 stations in total,” Mr Al Daraji said.

“We added new technology and equipment used for the first time for the detection of heavy metals.

“A hundred parameters can be detected but we want to expand it to make sure that the data captured can allow a baseline study in some areas to ensure they are well positioned.”
