==Famous Matches==
Krickstein was known for his mental toughness, and
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 5 set matches.

Unfortunately, arguably his most famous match was
a defeat at the hands of his tennis nemesis, Jimmy
Connors.  Aaron 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 Jimmy.  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.
