I went to the same university so I always followed him. Amazing he lasted this long. Will always remember that match point he had on Gustavo Kuerten in the 4th round of the 2001 French Open. But Kuerten would go on to win that match and the title. Russell always struggled with injuries but you don't do what he did with the dedication he poured into it unless you love it. He would make a great coach for someone I think. Wish him the best in his future!

IMO, for him to have all those muscles, he had to be working too hard! It's typical of guys his size I guess; severe overachiever! I hadn't seen him play in years; just in ads on TCC for the channel and maybe for products that you could order! :angel: :dodgy:
