Roger and Jimmy
02.03.2007 | Off Court
Isn't this an amazing memory? The picture is from Basel, at my hometown tournament, where I actually used to be a ball boy. Between being a ball boy and playing, I got an award for best junior in Basel under 14. Jimmy Connors and Mansour Bahrami were playing an exhibition match and gave me kind of an award, which was a watch back then. I walked on court, had a picture taken with both of them, then walked off again. I was so nervous. Whoever would have thought I would break the record. Looking back, it's quite an amazing story, I think...
this is a very nice picture. You are very cute boy with a great smile. Best wishes to you. I like to watch yoour matches and always wish you to be a winner. Please do everything you can to get the title in France Roland Garros. You can do it.

Roger, I really hope you get the Grand Slam.
I would love to see you on court. Maybe some day you can play in Argentina.
BYE!
What an amazing story, and very inspirational as well. To go from being a ball boy, to the World's No. 1 player. With your dedication and commitment to tennis, and you're amazing talent, you deserve to be at the top. Long may it continue.
