Very complete, witty and most of all very personal. the kind of tribute El Fashionista really deserved!<br /><br />Love the comment about the AO match with only you and a friend cheering and him coming back to win it! (didn't know about that one)<br />And yes, of course I remember the Calleri choke which didn't hurt too bad as it normally would have because a great guy was winning.<br /><br />Will miss you Yellow Shorts...<br />Lots of luck for the future!<br /><br />MartiMartinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19230236.post-24182522323606940622011-05-14T12:50:44.557+02:002011-05-14T12:50:44.557+02:00Thank you for the tribute, the yellow shorts will ...Thank you for the tribute, the yellow shorts will be missed indeed. Koubek had a distinct style, something that is getting more rare these days where players are produced in academies. The match against Calleri contained a collosal choke, for sure one of the most memorable ones.Mertonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19230236.post-52529880334643028822011-05-12T22:16:08.436+02:002011-05-12T22:16:08.436+02:00Thank you for this tribute, the man certainly had ...Thank you for this tribute, the man certainly had style and he will be missed. All the best to him. Very memorable moments, and the match against Calleri must have produced one of the most colossal chokes of all times.<br /><br />Styles with diversity will be increasingly missing I am afraid, these are the days of the tennis academy produced players.Mertonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19230236.post-4175123279421196572011-05-12T18:38:33.649+02:002011-05-12T18:38:33.649+02:00Nice piece man.

He will be missed for sure.<br /><br />Maybe he will get in the ring and fight Dani for charity?<br /><br />That would be a money-spinner for sure.Stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19230236.post-91262959571622729692011-05-12T17:18:34.600+02:002011-05-12T17:18:34.600+02:00What a legend.

She'd have learnt something from a real style icon.<br /><br />He was good fun to watch when he went on a run. Hilarious and shocking that he lost in that manner to PHM of all people.rhinooooonoreply@blogger.com
