Welcome Lisa,

Apart from the weather, I love Oregon. It's awesome that you are
going to see Andre play in Idaho. I've been to Andre's few charity
matches, as well as some of his ATP tournaments. I used to live in
Houston but now reside in Singapore.

Andre has such a charismatic presence and personality that one can't
help but be lured and mesmerised by his beautiful brown eyes and
swoooned by his mannerism, his articulate speeches, interviews etc.

Guess, we have to treasure every single moment when Andre is at
court these days. God Bless Andre, his health, his family and above
all the continued success of his foundation.

PS Can you get Tennis Channel at your area??
