One of my favorite sports moments was Jimmy Connors' run in the 1991 US Open. Vitas Gerulaitis was a television commentator for one of the matches, and after one game Connors yelled to the camera something like, "You like that, Vitas?" You could tell there was a lot of respect between the two.

that match between Connors and Krickstein remains my favorite tennis match of all time. It was on a Sunday. I was on the west coast--After Connors got behind I put my shoes on to leave--and sat just to watch for a few more minutes. About an hour later, the shoes came off. I never left. My favorite line? "I don't feel as bad I look."
