I did. He was so great for 21 years.

I cried like a baby. I always wondered why he dumped Brooke Shields though.

I didn`t think I would. Becker was serving 30-0 in the last game and I thought, "well it's over now, he's retiring. I thought I'd feel worse than I do". Then he lost another point and to my surprise my eyes got full of tears...and he finally lost. Then I couldn't hold it anymore and started crying like I hadn't done in a long time. I guess a lot of things came to my mind at that moment. I am just 18 and I love tennis, it's my greatest passion, and imagine how I feel about the guy who has been playing since before I was borne, and made my sport even greater than it was, with those incredible battles against Sampras, Feder, and Blake, which were not to take place any more...I couldn't take it.
How on Earth can you defeat someone who serves 51 aces in a match against you?? (Agassi beat Johanson after he did so)

Yep. Couldn't help it. I rode the 21 year roller coaster with him and when I saw him crying, I was right there with him. Still hasn't sunk in that my man 'Dre is off the tour.

I sure did. I have always been one of his biggest fans. Even when Mary Carrillo was putting him down. I saw him when he was 16 and fell in love with him then.

I had to hold back tears, yes. I'm still a little depressed about it. I just try to remember that he is in pain and needed to retire.

I didnt but almost because he did so much for the game and was such a humanitarion. It was so sad that he lost to Becker.
