	Vitas Gerulaitis
		Flamboyant, charismatic, witty and incredibly generous, Vitas Gerulaitis was always great company, with a tremendous sense of life.
		In Vitas' case, it wasn't that he relied on consistent groundstrokes & his speed around the baseline to win matches, even though he did this well when he couldn't get in, he relied on consistent volleys and his speed around the net.
		I think another factor in Vitas' on-court success was his larger than life off-court status; he was a true celebrity in Tennis’ rock 'n' roll era.

	The Hindu : Sport : Lleyton Hewitt determined to end Roger Federer's dominance
		Jimmy Connors, as they say, had Gerulaitis' number and the flamboyant free spirited man had lost 16 times in a row to the greatest street fighter in the history of tennis.
		In terms of his personality, Lleyton Hewitt is the very anti-thesis of Gerulaitis and he is as likely to lose to anybody 16 times in a row as he is to follow his serve to the net that many times in succession at Wimbledon.
		As head-to-head mastery goes, that may not rank alongside Connors' domination of Gerulaitis but in few other one-on-one sports would you find the No. 2 player going winless against the No. 1 player for that long.
