You mean to tell me that a pusher would smack Sampras around the way he did some times. Hell, he even beat the mighty Sampras 1 and 1. A couple of bread sticks. LOL

goodbye fabrice, there will never be another like you. You will truely be missed on the tour, well except for Safin, he's probably jumping for joy right now, even though he's already retired.

if you can't even appreciate santoro and his style, his ability to win matches by stealth, strategy and spin in a sea of power tennis, then it is not possible that you truly understand or love the sport.

It was a joke like the pic of Donald Young, Serena, Murray, etc.

Beau-tee-ful!!!!! the FULL COURT COVERAGE, INCLUDING COMING TO THE NET. returning a shot while sliding on the knees (what the )???? Oh man!!! If I wanted to learn how to play I would want to copy Mr. Santoro. I don't think anybody on the tour can play like that (ok maybe Fed). He definitely lived up to his nickname. Have a great retirement Fabrice.
