他走了，就这样简简单单地走了，不知不觉，他已经老去，到了不得不离开的时候。当我知道他的离去时，我咒骂着他的对手，为何不送他过去。当我冷静下来时，不知道说什么才好，的确这一天终会到来，却没想到是在今天。只叹息上天的不公，他没有像桑普拉斯那般的华美结局，甚至最后的比赛的对手配不上他的过去，而离去了。只能叹息这种残缺的美丽。喜欢上他完全不是因为他的球技或者成绩，而是因为他那天大的巨变，从浪荡到绅士。是他诠释了这种奇迹，是他推翻了江山易改本性难移。这才是真正的伟大不是吗？但愿有一天他会想Princess Hingis一样归来，创造又一个奇迹。我会等待那一天，即使根本没有那一天。
下面是他离去的时候说的，属于他的话

The scoreboard says I lost today, but what scoreboard doesn't say is what it is I have found. Over the last 21 years I have found loyalty; you have pulled for me on the court and also in life. I have found inspiration. You have willed me to succeed, sometimes even in my lowest moments. And I have found generosity. You have given me your shoulders to stand on to reach for my dreams; dreams I could never have reached without you. Over the the last 21 years I have found you and I will take you and the memory of you with me for the rest of my life.
