To Goran, The Greatest Wimbledon Champion!
I've always stood by you during the slumps in your career, I always believed in you and then as a compensation I got to see the entire Wimbledon you won!! Now I just pray for you operation to be successful and a quick recovery and hopefully we will see you a "new and improved" Goran back on the courts :)) Wishing you all the best for your tennis and otherwise. Cant wait to see you play again!

The final at Wimbledon last year was the most amazing tennis match I have ever seen, worth every second of the night we camped outside in the queue.
I'll be there to cheer you on in 2003 - best of luck with the surgery.
Cathy Robinson, Brighton, UK

Hope you are better soon, and that you are able to defend your title in 2003! Having gone through surgery myself to repair my broken leg last year, the exercises can be pretty tough afterwards, but just hang in there and take one day at a time.

Dear Goran,
you are such a good player, a genius, really. I really enjoy watching you playing and entertaining all your fans. I think this decision about the surgery is the better thing to do. I am crossing my fingers here, I hope everything will be ok after the surgery and you come back to play as well you always played! I am waiting for your return! I wish you the best luck!!

Goran
I've been a fan of yours for about 10 years and I always knew you'd win a Grand Slam one day, but last years Wimbledon final was completely brilliant! I was walking around for days afterwards with a great big grin on my face, it was so brilliant! Wimbledon definetly won't be the same without you this year, but its really important that you sort out your shoulder now in order to play again, and I'm sure you'll be back again next year, and this time I'm aiming to come and watch you!!! I hope the surgery is a complete success, and enjoy your free time for the next few months!! Thanks for giving me so much inspiration and pleasure over the last 10 years.
Lots of love and best wishes

Hi Goran:
I always have a great time watching you play. You possess such a character that is really entertaining and surprising at times. It's really a pity that you won't show up this year in Wimbledon, but I'm sure you can do it next year with healthy shoulders:) So keep on fighting and you sure will have another chance. Wish you a successful operation and speedy recovery & return.
Elsa Chen, Taiwan.

Goran do not worry. I know u will be back again next year even if u are 31. If Agassi can do it so can u. You are my idol, hero, God. So if u are God then u are capable of doing anything. Just concentrate on your comeback. You have to be back. We in India are all looking forward to your on & off court brilliance-especially those aces!!!!!!!!

Dear Goran,
It will be difficult not to play the opening match at Wimbledon this year, but knowing that you will play without pain next year, makes it all better. This way, you can end your great career in a way you deserve, like a Champion. Take your time to recover well, and be back to give your best at the Davis Cup and Wimbledon next year!
Petra Leeflang, The Netherlands

Goran I wish you all the luck in the world in the forth coming months, hoping you have a healthly and speedy recovery and that we see you back in winning form soon!
Take Care,
