| Pete- Despite all of the questions, all of the doubt, your confidence
returned and your game dominated once more. A sincere congratulations
on your achievement. You said that you could have walked away from
the US Open without the win, knowing that you were all you ever wanted
to be. Now you can know that you are more.
Andy Pollock |
| Congratulations for your 14th Title Pete. We were always confident
that your talent will let you win more grand slam titles despite all
what have been said. You have demonstrated that you are the best player
the game of tennis has produced.

| Well done, Pete - so sweet it is for you to silence your critics,
do your fans proud, and prove your potential to yourself. I hope Greg
Rusedski watched you win. And I hope all those misled journalists
must now write how great you are. Thanks for being an inspiration. Rob |
| Congratulations, Pete. We knew you could do it. We never lost sight
of your inner strength. God Bless!! Mary Bell |
| Hey Pete, congratulations on a bravura performance. You showed them
all that you've got more heart than anyone who's ever played the game.
It was lovely to see poetry flow from your racquet once more. I am
proud to be called your fan. You are the best there was, there is,
and there ever will be. Hope you have a nice time next year. Sudharshan |
| Pete, congratulations!!!! I knew you could do it, I never doubted
you for a second. You are and have always been the best. Gabby |
| Congragulations on your 14th Grand Slam Pete. You have been my idol
since i first started watching tennis. You are the greatest to ever
play the game and i only hope that if you do decide to retire, it
will be after Wimbledon because you proved to all those that doubted
you in NY that you still have the heart and skill to dominate the
game. Please win Wimbledon one more time. You own that tournament.
Once again congratulations to the greatest athelete on earth. Harrison Carreno |
| Congratulations! I have watched you play ever since the beginning
of your career and I will be here watching for as long as you play.

you could do it, your talent is unsurpassed - WELL DONE! Come back
to Wimbledon Pete, we need you there next year, it was not the same
without you this year - PLEASE! Leslie Branchett |
| Dear Pistol, There is so much I want to say, everytime I see you on the box I want to hug it (but I don't, well maybe once :o) From when I saw you way back @ Wimbledon in '93 I have never stopped supporting you, never stopped being excited when you'd walk onto court. There is something about you Pete that no-one else has. You know, even when you are playing a Brit I still support you! Congratulations Pete! Nicky (22) |
| Pete, what can I say... You have done it, with a verve and style
that is so uniquely you. You believed in yourself, over the course
of 33 tournaments. To come back and win like you did... Pete, are
you fer real? I have been idolizing you as I grew up. The only person in my Circle to cheer you as you won your first US Open in 90. The loudest screamer when you defeated Jim at Wimbledon in 93.Cried with you when you lost Tim G, Used to sign my name PSTim... used to stay up all night on school nights to watch you play and shout my encouragement. You have been a perfect role model for the past decade and a half. I can think of no one greater than you in my eyes! Allez Pete! Tim
Sodhi |

| Hello Pete. Congratulations on your long awaited victory. CONFIDENCE!! I'd keep telling myself, if I could just whisper that in your ear and make you find it. I knew that was all you were missing. Way to go Pistol Pete! You've always been my favorite and always will!! Please, one more Wimbledon!!!! Terri Reeves |
| I know you are a fellow basketball fan and hopefully you remember
the words from Rudy T several years ago after the Rockets were counted
out and yet came back to win another Championship. Those words were
the first thing I thought of after your U.S. Open victory because
it was a perfect description of your accomplishment. "NEVER underestimate
the heart of a Champion!" Way to go Pete. Keep coming to the
net! Barry Rubarts |
| Great match Pete, we knew you could do it! Sampras

know you can win another Slam. God bless you both. Margie Wulfert |
| Pete, I am so happy to have seen dozens of matches played by the best tennis player of all time. Last Sunday we kept our eyes glued to the TV screen for almost three hours to follow your match against another living legend of America: Andre Agassi. We definitely didn't want to miss a single game. In the end, we were thrilled to see you win one more Grand Slam and set a record that may never be surpassed. Congratulations from all of us, the Ferreiras of Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Romulo Ferreira |
