sorry about my ignorence, but wat was ur hardest match played????. thanks

Was Rafter really born in Mount Isa? Him and his family lived in the suburb of Carseldine in Brisbane when he was playing professionally.

Sure was, was in Carseldine playing at the Coops tennis centre before playing professionally.

What about that light patch in his hair? Is that why they call him skunky? 137.94.80.118 19:33, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm surprised no mention is made of the fact that early in his career Pat went twelve months without winning a tie breaker.

Similiarly no mention is made of his outstanding five set record. For many years pat held the record of most five set wins in a row; around the 13 in a row mark from memory.

Pardon my ignorance, but why is Rafter's 1994 Wimbledon match against Bruguera considered one of his most memorable matches? I see it was only a 2nd round match, so I'm rather curious about this. Thanks. (Jollyjeeves 21:56, 4 August 2007 (UTC))
