Liron Strauss , Dan's closest friend who was also the best man at his wedding: "Dan was a devoted friend in another segment. He would lie on the fence for his friends. He had total loyalty - almost blind. I can say I have some good friends who are really cool. But friendships like the one I had with Dan I do not know and probably will not know anymore. "  

​

Eran Danked about the friendships with Dandan: "On the field we were real friends and supporters of each other. Today it is difficult to see it in children at this age. They do not know how to make the separation between the friends and the field. We had no such thing. "He won and vice versa. Both then and years later when we were growing up, we sat down to watch Adni at the Davis Cup here in the country together, and I will not forget that he told me how happy he was that Andy was so successful. And that was from the heart."

​

Andy Ram : "For me, this year when we were together in the boarding school (Boingate), the relationship deepened a lot. We also started to travel a bit to competitions abroad together, and Dan was the first to know about the love story that begins to form between me and Shiri (Zlotikman), who is now my wife, When we were together in South America. The bond between us was built even further when we saw that there was also a good connection between our parents. Both of us and our families have been “in the same boat” when it comes to investing in our tennis and our ambitions.
We had companies that were not dependent on anything. We could hardly talk for a year and then meet and hang out like we only met yesterday morning. Over the years I have loved that the conversations between us have become about our spouses and the children who have been added in each of us to the family cell. We had a special youthful brotherhood that did not disappear over the years but only became more and more special. The connection between us was not accidental. Dan has always been positive and energetic and so am I. Even in the style of playing tennis we were the same. Dan, too, was springy on the court, with a good wally - the similar character was reflected in the style of play of both of us. Also the fact that I am a professional tennis player I have been more successful in my career has never been hostile to our relationship. There was mutual paragon throughout. Dan Dan enters my heart in a minute and is there forever. 

Miriam Farhi Rodrig , who Dan "sponsored" for her participation in the New York Marathon: "Ronit told me from the first moment not to worry, because she will connect with Dan who then already lived in the city with Sasha and the children. She told me that Dan knows the city like a spoon. His hand opened a WhatsApp group and Dan and I started corresponding.
From the first moment Dan treated me as his girlfriend and not as his mother's girlfriend. 
He very quickly became my guardian, and my level of fear dropped. I started asking Dan questions and always got clear and decisive answers. Thanks to him I got on the Ferry for the first time. Thanks to him I got to SoHo. Thanks to him I ran the New York Marathon and also finished it, right against all odds. And why against all odds? Because Dan accompanied me throughout the marathon inside my head and in my mind.  Dan had been killed three months earlier.
I know they will not believe me,  But I do not have one bad word to say about Dan. "I did not have a multiple relationship with him, but mostly a one-time one, but it was very intense for the marathon and that's how I experienced it - as a perfect person."

Elisha Haim , Dan's coach on Dan "The Friend" from a young age: "Dan Dan may not have been the ultimate champion who brings his coach degrees every Monday and Thursday, but he has returned in other and no less exciting and important ways the investment in him."

Ronit : In one of the competitions Dan played against Ophir Korks and the result was 6-0 5-1 that Ophir collapsed on the field and was in a big crisis. Ophir was an excellent player with running ability and high. He sat down on the field with his head in his hands and wanted to retire. Dan Dan approached him and said, "Ophir, get up and finish the game." Ophir got up, and almost won the second set that ended in a result with a tiebreaker. After the game, his coach came up and told him he would punish him for not letting Ophir collapse. Dan looked at him (I think that was the moment he decided he would not stay at the boarding school in Wingate with the same coach) and said to him: I am a friend of Ophir, not just a competitor. And this is not Wimbledon. We got in the car and Dan was very upset by the coach's words. I told him, "Dan Dan, I'm so proud of you. What a personality, what a friendship. All my life it will accompany you." He said, "Mom, don't get me wrong, this is not true what I did. I should have let him lose. But he's really my friend."

Dandan was a visitor to Ofir's house. Ofir's mother would prepare pampering dishes and cookies for Dan. At Dan's seven, she came in with Dandan's cookie box.
