...BORIS...
A moderate career compared to Sampras, Federer or even Agassi, still you are my most favorite of them all ...you are one of my childhood hero's...You "lived life" on & off the court.
I have read (presumably) all about you. keeping tab on you...you are now the head coach of Djokovic...hope he can emulate your "mental war-fare"...
- You were ranked world no. 1 for only 12 weeks in 1991.
- Never won a major ATP tournament on clay.
- You were convicted in Germany for tax evasion.
- Married a dark skinned first wife.
- You had extra marital affair and fathered a baby girl, which costed you your first marriage...
- 49 ATP Titles, 6 Grand Slam Majors, won only 3 out of 7 Wimbledon Finals,
- 10-4 against Agassi,
- 12-7 Sampras (lost all 3 Wimbledon encounters 1993 SF, 1995 F, 1997 QF)
- Formidable records against all other opponents

Five matches I desperately wanted you to win -
1) 1989 French Open SF against Edberg (you lost in 5th, despite being a break up)
2) 1989 French Final against Chang, which you would have won for sure - a Wishful Thinking
3) 1990 Wimbledon Final against Edberg (lost again in 5th set, despite being a break up)
4) 1995 Wimbledon Final against Pete Sampras - purely for emotional reasons. It was decade later than your very first Wimbledon
5) 1996 World ATP Tour Finals against Pete Sampras in Hanover. You had won more points than Sampras despite losing in 5..
You were 3 Majors short dear...A die hard fan of yours...I had complied a 3.5 hours of documentary on you...a great impact but have no further words to express...just like to say that - THANK YOU
&
...I Will Always Love You...
