Today, Sunday the 3rd of September as he plays at the U.S. Open, battling through tons of pain, I hope he wins. He is an inspiring athlete. He's got guts and fortitude.
He retires come what may after this tournament....I hope it ends well for him. He's played this sport for 21 years. He owes this sport a lot and this sport owes him a lot.
His match the other night had me on the edge of my seat until 1 am. Entertaining AND inspiring. AND he won it against a young up and coming star in tennis. A guy who is young 20's. It was a fantastic match..
Good luck Andre, and yes, it's true, I do believe legends live forever......(ok ok so I'm getting a bit overly sentimental but I can remember as a young (er) adult watching him, being inspired by him, being taunted by my husband about why I was so enamored with him....it had nothing to do with looks, it was just I 'got' him. I've always rooted for him.....so cut me some slack!!) :)
You know where I'll be for the next two hours or so...
