Y R U picking on D? If its good enuff 4 Prince its gud 4 him.

ON topic, I never was a fan of Agasi, but I respected what Aggasi acomplished over his career. Agassis match thursday night at the U.S. Open was a classic. Too bad Aaggassii couldn't go out on a high note.

I got chills throughout my body and almost teared up a little at the end and hearing him speak. Very very emotional moment.


You got that right.  Andre is 100% class.  I hope he and Steffi have lots of time to kick back and enjoy their family.   beer  I was always a big McEnroe fan, but damn, in his prime, could anyone return serve better than Agassi?  I don't think so.  no

It was his time. The man is 36 years old...

I like Andre, he's amongst the best 5-10 platers ever in the history but he is NOT in the same league as Sampras. Like it or not, Sampras holds the record for most grand slams titles and dominated tennis ever since 1994 until the year 2000. Him and Pete played great matches, but their head to head is on Pete's side.

The problem with Pete has always been his lack of charisma and not winning the french open. People liked Agassi cause he was more charismatic, he brought something else to the game. Pete, he was a regular guy. The best, but his image didnt sell.

Many people say Pete wasn't as an all around player cause he didnt' win the french, but if you look at Pete's career, you'll notice that he has won tournaments on clay too. Lacks the big one, but the guy won Wimbledon 7 times!

Roger Federer is the most dominant player these days. Boring off the court though. Rafael Nadal is the second best player in the world, but with more charismatic. In a way, he is the 21st century Andre Agassi.

If Federer wins Roland Garros in the future, he will be bigger than both Agassi and Sampras in my opinion.

Uff that's a tough one. Federer is winning more matches than Pete on his prime, however, if Pete was playing well, Nobody could stop him regardless the surface. Federer played incredibly well the four times he lost against Nadal this year; specially in Rome and Dubai (hard court) but lost.

so I have to go with Pete.

Sharapova is hot and got game. She's the best paid female athelete in the wold.

Federer did it again. I seriously thought A-Rod had a chance this time around but Roger is just too good.

Tennis is my favourite sports..and now..for me..tennis will never be the same..Agassy was the last tennis "hero" for me..I have grown with this generation of tennis players Agassi,Becker,McEnroe,Connors,Edberg,Sampras,Rafter,Leconte,Ivanisevic,Navratilova,Graf,Seles...I don't know how explain it well but there is something that miss in tennis today for me..the new tennis players are great athletes and very talented guys...but..not "magic"...But it's just an opinion..
Thanks Agassi for all these exciting years!!! ?beer
