RE: US Open day 7


OMG, 18/19 consecutive days at work, that sounds seriously gruelling ! I wish I'd stayed up and listened to the Agassi-Baggy match on 5live but I was on holiday and decent TV ended at 11pm that evening and there was nothing to do for possibly 2-3 hours until it started. It was ironic that it was Baggy who had the fitness problems in the end. Apparently Agassi's legs were hurting so much afterwards that he found it impossible to stand while waiting for his taxi and had to lie down on the pavement !

If Agassi had been in his prime that final last year could have turned into a real 5 set classic, as it was, it was one of the best slam finals for a while.

It's difficult to judge where Agassi stands among the other all-time greats of the game as although he won all 4 slams he didn't dominate tennis as others like Laver, McEnroe, Sampras and Federer did and several players like Sampras enjoyed winning records against him, particularly when it mattered most in the latter stages of slams. However, I think it's without doubt that Agassi has been the greatest entertainer that tennis has seen.
