Wow this was a mess of a match from Andre.

[ProductionTheory]

you hav to consider andre's age when he played federer. Agassi's whole game was a baseliner's game, taking the ball early and groundstroking the other guy into submission. When you get older, the timing slows down, your legs don't move as fast. 2003 was a peak year for roger, young,fast and strong. It's amazing andre kept up with him at his age(33 at the time) vs a 22-23 year old, so give andre some credit!!

@TheSparkleBrigade Agassi was such a great returner that he couldn't afford to serve and volley.

Agassi does look excellent considering, but I get the impression from this match that Federer is under no pressure from Agassi and never really was in any of their matches. AA certainly played him close a few occasions but you never felt like Fed would lose.

Federer is no doubt good but Agassi is the best of all time. Federer is easily the second best though.

[TheSparkleBrigade]

I found it odd how Federer never served and volleyed this whole match, he practically baselined the whole time!

For a guy way past his prime playing someone one year removed from being the best in the world, I'd say Agassi looked great here.

@KooKookid520 Yes I think you are right about that stamina thing, but I think more importantly he had to much weight on him. Because of the rivalry with nadal he put on some more muscles, but that didn't help him. Before that he had the perfect balance and I think that is whys he looks skinnier recently and he is moving better now again. But mentally right now he isn't as strong as Djokovic cause he has won so much this year. And I think that before that Nadal beat him mentally.
