Nadals gentics arer light years ahead of Andres , a far better athelete but Andre at his best could outhit any one off the baseline ,, go watch the shots he hit FO 91 just to see how hard he could really hit the ball in his prime.
@kinkabala he's hitting the ball harder here. He was obviously faster when he was younger but it's a different game now to what it was in 91. I think possibly a young sampras could compete in this era but none of the bassliners from that era could keep up to djokovic or nadal.
Agassi's back was sore and he could not run down shots as he did in 1992. Glad Agassi played at age 36, so he could face Nadal. He respects Nadal's game the most, calling Nadal a "freak, a force of nature," able to cover the whole court .
Oliver , he wasn't on drugs you idiot. He took crystal meth a couple of times and even that would inhibit his play. Most drugs fuck you up for sport. Steroids , growth hormones being the exception. Imagine playing Wimbledon on coke , dope , e or alcohol.........what a joke that would be.
Surely Agassi one of the best tennis player in the world but without drugs probably nothing but a mediocre. The true history I think in 90 % of all his matches he was influenced of
@Oliver007a That's total BS. If Andre did drugs after 1997, he would have been caught, because he was tested like the rest. Plus, meth impairs athletic performance. If he used it in the semi's, he could not have slept at all before the finals. Ever see people on drugs play sports? It's a joke -- drunk softball, stoned wiffleball. No way were recreational drugs an edge for Andre. He was in an unhappy marriage with Brooke, who gave him no sex, it seemed. She was too busy playing a slut on TV.
@deltok slow courts?? jajaja us open 2010 winner, australian open 2009 winner, slow courts?? 2008/10 2 wimbledons champs, and 2 finals?, are you drunk? 11 hard court titles with 24 years? and 8 finals???? only slow courts....you know nothing about tennis
If you reread what I said . . . RAFA IS A GREAT PLAYER IN ALL AROUND COURTS .
but he is only the best of all times in slow courts ok??? Look, now, the only fast courts is the last of season USO to london .. remember the changes of surface especially in grand slam: ao with rebound ace (fast) to plexicution (neutral speed) and winby (neutral)
AO to miami and Wimbledon is considered Neutral speed court today.
@alexSOTG You're almost right. It's a fact that Rafa never competed on fast grass his Wimbledon wins are on perennial rye grass. That's a form of slow grass with higher ball bounces. Roger also only won on that type.
rafa won 2 great tournaments in fast courts (olympic gold and USO with deco speed turbo) but remember he had no rivals except the final . . Rafa is a great player but not nearly the best of the fast courts, even today .. we'll see how it does in Master cup London this year .
@thisislaser Yeh dickhead rogi never won on the fast grass courts at wimbledon with the light tennis balls, Ask henman, 2002 was the biggest change in the speed at wimbledon they started opening the cans of balls a week early and the grass seeds were changd
I would say that the fast court play of the nineties was not much worse or even equal to today, but slow court tennis with the heavy topspin, angles and super rallies is really much better now then in the nineties.
@ulizinho Maybe you should go back in time and give those guys better racquets and strings. Btw, fast court play in the nineties was way better. They at least knew how to volley.
that is what I say. Sampras surely would have good chances against Nadal and Federer on grass. But I doubt whether Bruguera, Courier, Wilander and maybe even Guga and Muster could beat Nadal or Federer on Clay.
it is impressive how Nadal gets back into the points, though he is far behind the baseline and Agassi is dictating as usually the point standing close to the baseline. That is what I like of the tennis of today, the defense-to-offense game of Djokovic, Nadal and Federer.
Just browsing for Rafa tennis, what a match from Nadal, my 2 most favourite players, Nadal a touch more, and how strong he is here, incredible and he is just so sweet and humble here as always, god bless you Rafa ALWAYS!
why don't people who make these videos make them more realistic where one person doesn't win every single point. this video makes agassi look like he sucks, when it was a pretty even match.
damn. i had seen this match in scotland....i was wondering "no way nadal wont beat agassi thats impossible" and he did in 3 straight sets.....i was so upset
ehm thats really not true. he hated tennis in the past just because his father was so hard on him. But later on he enjoyed the game what so ever. And besides why would he play a career that long? And why else would he play charity events now?
@tennisruler5 agassi HATED tennis. He doesn't hate it anymore. His dad forced him to hit 1,000,000 balls a year at 8 years old. That is tiring. You would hate tennis too if you had to do that. Agassi didn't hate tennis nearer towards the end
Hmm, good point. I haven't seen them play recently. Agassi was still making finals a few years ago. But then again, Pete took sets off Federer recently. Anyway... they are are both still better than any of the American players on tour today.
They haven't played recently because they retired a long time ago Gowrie, LOL. Comparing Agassi and Pete to Federer is stupid because they never facing each other in their primes. IMO, if all 3 had grown up together (sort of like what Agassi/Pete did) then Federer would have less than 10 slams in his career. Federer's only true rival (who doesn't seem to crack) is Rafa and he's been injured and is a specialist on clay (although he's starting to beat Roger on all surfaces now).
True ihateuutube. I like Nadal as well, but Agassi is my favourite of all time. I wonder how Nadal would do if he was the 36 year old facing Agassi when Agassi was 20 years old? It might have been a lot worst than the score we just saw in favour of Nadal. Just saying....
Maybe Gabe. But it's a proven fact that almost all physical abilities are at their peak in the twenties, and taper off. When Agassi was a youngster, he preyed on older players. If we reversed the ages here, Agassi would obliterate Rafa and trust me, I like Rafa. It's just the truth.
proven facts for general populace doesn't account for fact for whole of all. Agassi is the perfect example of a man who was fitting after 27 than when he was 20-25. You must have been asleep during the past 3 weeks when Agassi emphasized his lack of personal motivation, his personal commitment into the sports before 27, and his wigs. But it's ok, that's why I am here to tell you.
On top of the improved skills, Agassi in his 30s and late 20s far surpassed Agassi at 22, etc.
Gabe, Agassi was my favourite athlete and I watched many of his matches. Sure, he didn't have the same dedication in his 20's when compared to his late 20's/early 30's. But, he was the number 1 player in the world at the age of 25 (before he fell off the map), when Sampras was in his prime. Therefore with less committment, it's safe to assume that he had more talent then when compared to the latter part of his career. Don't try to talk Agassi with an Agassi fanatic, you just look dumb.
If you think that Agassi had more skill when he was in his 30's (and it wasn't more because of his dedication and fitness, on top of constructing points better in the latter part of his career) then you are a simpleton friend. Agassi had an immense amount of talent (which eventually rose him to #1) and that's why everyone always talked him up. In the latter part of his career, Agassi got in amazing shape and played a much smart game. He didn't go for broke, he broke opponents.
Good points. IMO The Agassi of 94-95 would probably have been the perfect matchup for Nadal. Agassi had very powerful groundstrokes back in the day, hitting it hard, flat and early. These sorts of players have troubled Nadal throughout his career, and once you throw in the consistency and point construction that Agassi learned by the mid 90s, it will be very difficult for Rafa to counter Andre.
i like how you use past tense. agassi took meth when he was already an experienced player. if nadal started taking meth as his current age then fuck that's one burnt out player.
yeh but he only got to no.1 cos he beat sampras in the 2000 US open final. and beating new millennium sampras was pretty easy. even lleyton hewitt did it the very next year, after a teen federer ended his wimby streak. but im sure u didnt need a history lesson.

Agassi is one of only 6 men to have a grand slam, one of only 3 men to win on 3 different surfaces, the only man to win a "Golden" slam, the oldest number one player ever who won most of his slams after the age of 29...yeah, I see your point...NOT!!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
RAFA ni puto caso a los payasos que se pasean por aqui, tu sigue asi y disfruta de tu Aston Martin, ni caso a estos jilipollas que se pasean con un Ford Focus JAJAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJJ
You know what, it's people like you's that destroy tennis for others, always arguing over who is better. Can't anyone love tennis as a sport and not treat the players like some sort of god. Yes they are all great in their own way, but there is no reason to have some great debate about it.
the best tennis players i've ever seen (i'm 26 years old): roger federer; pete sampras, rafa nadal, andre agassi, stefan edberg, patrick rafter, boris becker, tim henman, leyton hewitt, goran ivanisevic.......i didn't see connors, lendl, mc enroe, vilas, etc in their best years.......that's the reason cause i chose that ones.........
I really used to hate Agassi during his rivalry with the GREATEST of all time Sampras, but after time I've grown to respect him and look upon one of the greatest players ever. Unlike Federer the cry baby, Agassi is a legend!
Sampras will always be to me the Greatest of All Time...at least Agassi gave respect to Pete Sampras...Federer isn't so generous towards his opponents always there is an excuse for him losing never can he admit he was beaten on the day by the better man!
I agree, how could you tell if someone fake smiles? Everyone would be happy when they win, so they smile. Federer just doesn't show as much emotion, otherwise it might be showing weakness?
Man, I totally agree....if you compare them one to one, Nadal is better than Federer...but if you look at the entire picture, Federer has accomplished more things than Nadal......of course, Federer is 27: that's a relevant fact....
wow even 3 years ago nadal easily could beat agassi, i know that agassi isn't at his peak here but it is still very impressive, i wish we could have the agassi of 1999 face the current nadal, that would be a fantastic match
love seeing generation against generation. though i have to admit, even though im a nadal fan, agassi in his prime could beat nadal for the most part on any surface. i think clay would be iffy but thats just me
Just iffy? Agassi could never beat him on clay. Now, he could never beat him on grass. Hardcourt he could, but that may just be for now. Nadal could get better, still.
i would say that too, cos think about it nadal is a physical player who keeps hitting the ball back and Agassi in his prime was the ultimate ping pong machine lolz.
Agassi is such a better ball striker than Nadal, it's evident here. Nadal's is much, much faster though. Agassi almost won the first set and this was a match where he was sitting down in between some points because his back hurt so much.

Kiefer Sutherland could beat Agassi

Agassi is one of only 6 men to have a grand slam, one of only 3 men to win on 3 different surfaces, the only man to win a "Golden" slam, the oldest number one player ever who won most of his slams after the age of 29...yeah, I see your point...NOT!!!!

You know what, it's people like you's that destroy tennis for others, always arguing over who is better. Can't anyone love tennis as a sport and not treat the players like some sort of god. Yes they are all great in their own way, but there is no reason to have some great debate about it.

the best tennis players i've ever seen (i'm 26 years old): roger federer; pete sampras, rafa nadal, andre agassi, stefan edberg, patrick rafter, boris becker, tim henman, leyton hewitt, goran ivanisevic.......i didn't see connors, lendl, mc enroe, vilas, etc in their best years.......that's the reason cause i chose that ones.........

I really used to hate Agassi during his rivalry with the GREATEST of all time Sampras, but after time I've grown to respect him and look upon one of the greatest players ever. Unlike Federer the cry baby, Agassi is a legend!
ApocalypseBrown9 2 years ago
Sampras will always be to me the Greatest of All Time...at least Agassi gave respect to Pete Sampras...Federer isn't so generous towards his opponents always there is an excuse for him losing never can he admit he was beaten on the day by the better man!

federer fake smiles when he wins? when and HOW would you see that? and neither of them's playing here anyway, so why the comment!
it's an interesting matchup here: both not exactly in their prime and especially not on their favorite surface...

I agree, how could you tell if someone fake smiles? Everyone would be happy when they win, so they smile. Federer just doesn't show as much emotion, otherwise it might be showing weakness?

It`s almost never been easy for Rafael to beat Roger...
mariomarcano 2 years ago
Man, I totally agree....if you compare them one to one, Nadal is better than Federer...but if you look at the entire picture, Federer has accomplished more things than Nadal......of course, Federer is 27: that's a relevant fact....

I'll always remember this match because Andre got sick of waiting for Rafa to towel off and serve so he sat down in a linesman's chair, lol.

wow even 3 years ago nadal easily could beat agassi, i know that agassi isn't at his peak here but it is still very impressive, i wish we could have the agassi of 1999 face the current nadal, that would be a fantastic match

I believe Andre was too bulked up during his last 2 yrs. I think the 1995 Andre had the best physique.

love seeing generation against generation. though i have to admit, even though im a nadal fan, agassi in his prime could beat nadal for the most part on any surface. i think clay would be iffy but thats just me

Agassi > Nadal on HC. Everywhere else Nadal would win.
IvanAndreevich 3 years ago 3
Just iffy? Agassi could never beat him on clay. Now, he could never beat him on grass. Hardcourt he could, but that may just be for now. Nadal could get better, still.

samurai7411 2 years ago 5
i would say that too, cos think about it nadal is a physical player who keeps hitting the ball back and Agassi in his prime was the ultimate ping pong machine lolz.

Agassi is such a better ball striker than Nadal, it's evident here. Nadal's is much, much faster though. Agassi almost won the first set and this was a match where he was sitting down in between some points because his back hurt so much.
