Real Conditionals: Poem "If" by Rudyard Kiplin


Rudyard Kiplin´s poem "If" was written for his son aged 12. It is a very famous poem which you can read below (click here for a bigger view) while listening to it magnificently recited by the English actor Sir Michael Caine




And here is an excerpt of the poem read by tennis players Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Do you notice the difference in pronunciation, rhythm and intonation between  the three readings (the one above and the two below)? What suggestions would you give Nadal and Federer to improve their readings?
