That famous match...people always talk about the match being played every rainy day during USO. But how many times was it aired actually? Anyone knows? Aaron was known for mental toughness...? I found his playing was quite 'passive', not aggressive. Why do you think he lost that (in)famous match in the end?
From Wikipedia...
Krickstein was known for his mental toughness, and possibly due to that, many of his most famous matches went the distance. In his first appearance at the U.S. Open, he outlasted both Stefan Edberg and Vitas Gerulaitis in five-set matches.
But his most famous match was a defeat at the hands of Jimmy Connors. Krickstein was 0-7 lifetime against Connors, and until that match in the round of 16 at the 1991 US Open, had never even managed to take a set from Connors. In a see-saw battle, Krickstein succumbed, 6-3, 6-7(10), 6-1, 3-6, 6-7(4), despite leading 5-2 in the final set.
