I’ve been a fan of yours ever since I saw you at the US Open quallies last year. You’re an awesome player, and you’re having an AWESOME comeback! Keep up the good tennis!

Hey, Michael. Caught you last year playing at Indian Wells on a side court against Guillermo Garcia-Lopez I believe it was. Also saw you a few years ago where I used to be a member at the Claremont Club, Claremont, CA, at one of their Satellite or Challengers. Enjoy watching the effort you put into each match. I follow you and Robert Kendrick weekly. You are doing much better than he over the past year. congratulations on your current 66 rank and keep up the hard work! see you in Indian Wells in a couple weeks. If you read this I will say hi at the tourney if I am there when you are playing. Mark, a 4.5 level player now residing in Broomfield, CO.

An amazing inspiration! He reminds me of the tenacity of Jimmy Connors and the ability of Michael Chang. He is deserving of his place in the sun! It is an injustice Michael has not been given the support and exposure by the USTA. The younger “giants” playing the game today have a serve and that is about it. This guy is a true athlete and all around excellent tennis player – all at 31!

The boys from Detroit are behind you 100% …BV and FREDDIE JONES follow you everyday…we laugh how you can hit a backhand when you were 14,  you would do 100 pushups if you missed!!! only spanky Russell would do this when he was a kid.

Mr. Russell you are definitely on a roll now. I think you showed a lot in the match against Delpo and Berdych. I kind of get the feeling that you are capable of a huge upset this season.

Benoit Herve writes:

Berdych was “on” that day, so you played very well.  If you can beat everybody else,  who is not in the top 20 its great.   For those who watched you, again there you really played well and berdych needed to play his best to beat you.  Cheers and all the best for next tournament Michael.

Hi Michael. My family and I have seen you play a few times at the Rogers Cup and US Open. You are a fun player to watch since you give 110% on each and every point. We always attend the Rogers Cup in Montreal and Toronto and hope to see you there again this summer. Best of luck this year and hope to see you break the top 50 soon.
