Nobody makes fan care more than Andre Agassi !!! He was the only reason to wake up at 2am just to watch tennis match ;)) True Legend...

[virgilsheart]

Andre is one of the best players this country has ever produced.

@magicolivier the last time federer beat nadal in a major is 07 wimbledon....he cannot beat nadal in majors..best of all time?? LOL not even in his own era...to be the best you must beat your rivals more often than not...and federer has fallen far short of that...and am not even that crazy about nadal frankly...his celebrations annoy me sometimes....so i cannot be viewed as a nadal fanatic

@Oopstoobad6275

Oh yeah, why don't you just bring facts whenever you write something....???

When Nadal won his 1st RG, Federer "only" had 4 grand slam titles.

So Federer won 12 majors thereafter, which represent 75% of his total major titles.

Taking this into account, do you want to confirm your comments ?

[Oopstoobad6275]

federer is not the best of all time...he's not even the best of his era...sampras is the greatest in my book...you have to remember federer won a lot of his majors b4 nadal arrived

Agassi is nothing but shit, disrespectful

[3434aaaa]

I wonder if Agassi would have been as gracious while talking about Sampras. I saw him on Jimmy Kimmel, making fun of Sampras.

SAMPRAS = GOAT

[hattrickster33]

He forgot to mention how much they can't stand each other lol

I had the happy pleasure of watching AA play on Centre Court, Wimbledon in 1999, a month after he won the French (and completed his career Grand Slam). It was just an early round match but I was transfixed by his skill and technique and how much he loved that game.

[mdentari]

Same here. I would watch tennis at anytime and anyplace just to see him play. Those times and players were unbelievable. What a cast of tennis characters, many great. Andre's heart was the thing I remember about him the most. His tennis playing was secondary.

Pete missed the key fact. Andre became the number one male player in the USA at age 18, as a senior in high school age. It had never been done before. Never been done since!
