Sep 2014

There are players that i like and wouldn't mind seeing win, but there's no one out there whose career I follow and whose losses kill me like Fed's...I really liked Stefan, but it's not the same...the only other player whose career I really, really followed was Chris Evert's, and then it was a long time between finding someone I really liked.

The good news? We get to see him play at least one more match this US Open
