Megan! Everybody started to cry here in Brazil when Guga drew the heart after 2001 final against Corretja! It was very, very emotional seeing a national hero conquering the tennisworld heart.

Moose, the round of 16 agains Russel it's memorable as the picture here. Guga saved match point hitting a breathtaking forehand in the baseline in the middle of the point, the crowd screamed scared and the point continues till a winner by Guga. Russel spent hours returning every shot Guga sent to him, but from the jaws of hell Guga survived, won the match and drew the heart of the photo you posted!
I was a huge Corretja fan, Igor. I remember that match well.

I got to see Russell twice at Indian Wells this year. A win against Garcia Lopez, and a hard fought, incredibly fun match against Tursunov (he lost in 3 sets). He plays the exact kind of tennis I love, tenaious defense until you get that one shot at a winner (or your opponent hits an error). Shame his career never really caught fire.
