Guga is the only player who ever had me heart and soul. I still miss him.

Since his injury and retirement, I've spread the love around. There are half a dozen players that I really root for all the time. But the sun doesn't rise and set on them. Actually the contests here at TAT tend to help. Gives me a rooting interest, keeps my attention.

I relate to what some people have said about losing interest in tennis itself after a fave is gone. It happened to me with football, although I was the one who left. I lived and died with the Seahawks, from Day 1 in 1976. But I moved to Kansas City in the mid-90's, then to Atlanta and eventually to Montana. They just didn't show the Seahawks in those places. Maybe one game a year. And it was too late to get all excited about another team. I completely lost my interest in football. Still watch the college bowl games, but that's it. Anyway, I don't want that to happen to tennis, so now I spread my interest around.

(Just re-read this for typos. I can't believe the number of cliches, but I'm too lazy to re-write.)
