Goodness, has it really been 5 years since his teary goodbye at the US Open?
Andre won 60 titles including 8 Slams and the Olympic gold medal in '96.
He also spent a total of 101 weeks atop the ATP tour rankings.
Andre was year-end #1 once in '99 and #2 on three occasions: '94, '95 & '02.
At 33 and 4 months he is the oldest man to hold the #1 ranking.
And spent 16 years in the top 10 - the most (tied with Jimmy Connors).
But he'll tell you that his great achievement is his prep school in Las Vegas.
Which boastes an incredible success rate.
Well done Andre. Newport is proud to have you.
