    This is shades of Agassi and Sampras from a couple of yars ago when neither of them broke serve until like the fifth set I think. just absolutely rediculous tennis

    I guess I shouldn't suggest Agassi doesn't deserve some syrup. But it's the endless daily syrup that will get tiresome. At some point -- like after the fourth video montage of his career -- it will become overkill. It's like running a sick person's obituary every day for a couple of weeks until he finally dies.

    Has there ever been worse crowd etiquette at a tennis match? Makes me wish the sport had more of this.

    The dude in the suit, hat and holding a gym bag?

    That would be the guy. Up until the winning shot on the last set tie breaker he hadn't moved or applauded. Just sat there with his hands on his bag.

    His name is Gil Reyes and he's been Agassi's trainer/fitness coach for the past 15 years or so.

    Helluva match, by the way.

    Wow I feel like an idiot now. What drew my attention is that he just there absolutely still for so long on so many dramatic points and shots that I didn't know what to make of it. To me it seemed like a case of which one does not belong.

    the comeback from 0-4 in the third to 5-1 in the fourth is just classic agassi. I'm lovin' this.

    It's a very cool sports night. But must be brutal to capture on deadline.

    Agassi is the unrivaled king of blowing the snotlet on the court. No one is close.
