After 5 years, Boris won a Grand Slam again, unfortunately the last one. Boris was phenomenal, my absolute favourite

@greeneggs1111 You've got it the wrong way around. Chang was like lightning.

[greeneggs1111]

Chang's speed is jaw dropping; could definitely give Nadal and Djokovic a run for their money in his prime in terms of speed.

By the way while Agassi had a very good head to head with Becker until long after Becker retired Agassi wasnt even anywhere near the same league as Becker in career greatness. Becker retired with 6 slams including 3 Wimbledons, and Agassi did not win his 4th until 1999 (Becker retired from tennis in 1997). So on what planet should Becker who was far more accomplished a player than Agassi during his entire playing career kiss Agassi's ass.

@DexterHaven49 No I most definitely read the book, in all its glory of profanity, insults, and disrespect for all his peers (including Sampras), and it wasnt tainted for me by the rose colored glasses it obviously was for you. I am not a big fan of Chang's god signals but his religious beliefs are his choice and it is dumb for others to think they have the right to be offended. Chang has never done anything towards Agassi, Agassi took it upon himself to hate on Chang for no good reason.

@grafgirl27 No, I read his book. You obviously did not. Agassi's "zings" as you call it were reactions to Chang's disrespect, silly. In your crazy world if someone fights off a mugger, he's guilty of assault. You need to get cause and effect straight. You have it reversed. Chang points to God as if he's the chosen one when he wins. What a grandiose delusion! As if god wanted Agassi to lose. Shame on Chang for putting on divine airs. Chang was an ego case. The little turd.

And while Agassi has a better career than Becker overall probably it isnt as clear cut as you seem to think. Becker won Wimbledon, the worst most prestigious tournaments, 3 times and was in 7 finals. Agassi is nowhere near that. The slam win difference is only 2. Becker did the Wimbledon-U.S Open double in the same year, the two biggest events, Agassi never did that. Becker won many more ATP World Championship titles too. And in Beckers best year ever he wasnt 1-4 vs his main rival.

@DexterHaven49 give me a freaking break. Chang never disrespected Agassi, it was Agassi always needlessly dissing and insulting Chang. Just read his book and the disgusting zings he sent Changs way. He even had the nerve to call Chang a Davis Cup cop out at a time he used the cheesiest of excuses to sit out of ties and even demanded his full entourage and special treatment to play. Agassi is the better player but Chang by far the classier one. As for Becker they are equally guilty, end of.

[DexterHaven49]

Neither one gave Agassi the respect he deserved, so screw 'em both. Agassi was better than both. He won all of the big four. Neither of these wanna-bes did. Plus when Agassi was age 29, his record in four consecutive grand slam events was 27-1, starting with the French of 1999. Let's see Becker or Chang equal that!! And that's when Pete was strong.

The best indoor player ever!! words spoken from Pete Sampras
