All the behind the scenes on this game is in the first few pages of "Open" by Agassi. They both were rushed into to locker room seconds after this. Agassi's back seized and he couldn't breathe. Bag's legs cramped, and he was in agony, his quad's, then hamstrings, then groin. They both lie flat on their backs watching the highlights on TV. The commentators called it a classic, and Bag reached out his hand as they both lay in pain. They clasped hands. Andre was his idol and 15 yrs. older then him.
After watching Andre's "Open film Series" during this years Australian Open (2012) I just had to find this match. Andre spoke of it with such pride and such compassion as only a true sporting hero can.
I've always loved Marcos and the way he plays but I only ever heard of this match and never took the time to track it down and watch it.. Seeing Marcos fight through such pain only makes me think he's more a true sporting hero than most would believe.
