Andre's Corner

                             
The day I met Andre                                                2003 French Open
         in 2005



                       
      Andre's last French Open                                     In 1995 Andre's serve had
          appearance in 2005                                              improved a great deal
                                                                             


  

                                                            Andre first became #1                                                Andre's Volley improved but                                         April 10th, 1995                                                   it never became an asset to his game

                                                                                 

                                                                   Four months after his                              Andre's 1st great comeback occurred in 1994
          1st Australian Open title

 

                                                   
                    The day Andre finally won                                  At 17, I still wanted to dress like
                  the French Open back in 1999                                       Andre 5 years before        


                                                                               

                
   My forehand never looked like Andre's,                            In 1999 I visited Wimbledon after Andre's
       yet it became a solid weapon                                        defeat in the final against Sampras

 
            
2001: The year I worked at Roland-Garros             At only 8, I was already a big tennis fan
 
                      
    As a French teacher in Los Angeles                                  My best friend and I, cheering
    I had to wear a suit and tie everyday...                                     for Andre in 1996
