i have grown up watching him...to me, the best tennis player ever. a great player and an equally great sportsman and a human being. hats off to you andre!! i have always admired his style of play (baseline)...i preferred him to sampras coz sampras was more of a serve/volly player. i have found andre more articulated and ia better mproviser..and his service return ability had me in awe time and again! I was watching that last match of his and his farewell speech. he could not hold his emotuon and neither could i. i cried for few minutes! Good Bye Andre! But you will be in our heart forever!!! LooTe
