Famous Matches

Krickstein was known for his mental toughness, and possibly due to that, many of his most famous matches went the distance. In his first appearance at the U.S. Open, he outlasted both Stefan Edberg and Vitas Gerulaitis in five-set matches.

Arguably his most famous match was a defeat at the hands of Jimmy Connors. Krickstein was 0-7 lifetime against Connors, and until that match in the round of 16 at the 1991 US Open, had never even managed to take a set from Connors. In a see-saw battle, Krickstein succumbed, 6-3, 6-7(10), 6-1, 3-6, 6-7(4), despite leading 5-2 in the final set.
