Fernando Verdasco, who has reached the final in Dubai, says that commitment is a big reason for the success of the older players.
“I think it's about everything,” said Verdasco, who beat Gael Monfils in the quarterfinals and Robin Haase in the semis. “I think the medicine, physiotherapy treatments for recovery—I think everything together [is] what makes the player have [a] longer career. Roger [Federer] or Feliciano Lopez, or myself or [David] Ferrer, many of us [have] still been able to be in the top—some Top 10, some Top 20, some Top 30.
"[We’ll] keep trying to beat the young guys.“
