He wore his blue and yellow tennis shirt -- the same one when he won his first clay court title at Roland Garros in 1997 (he later changed to a white tee). But on May 25, Gustavo Kuerten needed more than luck. He gave an A effort but clearly the strength and speed wasn't there anymore. Guga fell in three sets to Paul Henri Mathieu.
But before the match got underway, he drew a heart on the clay to signify his love for playing in Paris and to say that he played with his heart on his short blue and yellow sleeves. There were 15,000 people on hand to watch this emotional game that lasted a little over an hour. But that's worth a lifetime of memories.
Thanks, Guga!
