It was indeed electric when Becker was there. I agree that the biggest names have been absent for a while. Still, if Nadal could make it, dare we not hope that Federer might one day?

So many people cried when becker lost the match, The electricity on that day was insane

Have been there almost every year, one interesting moment was when i took the autograph of Barry Cowan a virtual unknown those days but who quickly shot to fame by taking Pete Sampras to five sets at Wimbledon.

The marquee names are missing now, and it has become solid yet unspectacular tournament these days with names like nadal, rafter, kafelnikov , becker unfortunately not playing, hence the buzz is slightly amiss :(
