From 1985 to 1990, Tonio served as a one of my coaches and improved my clay court game. His knowledge and understanding of how to approach the clay court proved invaluable. With Tonio's help, I won my first Grand Slam title in 1987 at Roland Garros and earned the number one world ranking. After the French Open win, Tonio and I traveled to tournaments in Hamburg, Berlin, Paris and New York. We have remained friends and train together prior to my charitable exhibitions matches.

I had the chance to share time with Tonio for three Seasons during the German Tennis League. One of his attributes was the ability to understand my strengths and believe in my potential to help me to perform at the best of my personal abilities. His personal empathy made him a valuable coach to have around. #3 IN THE ATP TOUR DOUBLES RANKING
