I miss seeing him play, too. The way he hammered his forehand was incredible.

I don't think you're talking about Blake...

C'mon don't you remember the Wimbledon match (was it?) where he went down 0-6 with no effort? He was also one of the already-lost-to-Fed guys even though he defeated him in the Olympics - always praising him. He was good friends with Roddick, Fish etc and never seemed to really want to beat them.

Can't say that I miss him, largely because the grieving process has been going on for several years, it being about that long since he's been at all effective in upper echelon tennis.
