I met Robin for the first time at a pre-US Open Nike event featuring Serena Williams. I was trying to vie for a spot close to the stage when I felt someone's camera tap my cheek from behind, (the nerve!) but before I could turn around and rip into the person that was invading my personal space I heard, "Sorry if my camera tickled you" in an English accent, and my less than honorable intentions, (I was having a bad day) melted away on the spot.
I have only chatted with Robin in person twice, but from those two times I am convinced that he is the guy that other guys aspire to be and that girls fawn over. He is reminiscent of a cross between Ryan Gosling and Danny Zuko; fashionable yet masculine (he rocks pink shorts yet is a professional BMX rider), confident but not conceited, charming but not pretentious, and did I mention that he has an English accent?
