Hello Benjamin,

You caught my attention with your mature and kindly manner towards the US Open crowd and Agassi, where you so courageously proved that YOU were on that day the better player. What a gentleman you were. And you definitely have great talent, more than some of the partial commentators wanted to admit. I am an American, and though I admire Agassi, I wished he had thought of YOUR role that day and given you some credit. I hope that you will continue to keep advancing further in your tournaments. You did garner admiration from some Americans for you exemplary behavior on the court of Arthur Ashe, as I noted in commentaries. I hope you retain the wonderful and gentlemanly spirit that you exude. Tennis needs that - people are craving that - (I can tell from the Federer fan website how much that spirit is valued).
Best wishes for continued wins and all the success and joys life can bring you.
