Agassi lost at Wimbleton

[dorf]

He is 36 and this is his last Wimbleton, he has doubts and concerns, his physical condition is not at the best.....still he is the hero in my heart.
A lot of rough road during these years, ups and downs, but this legend kept his cool, from four grand slam titles in a year to fight fearlessly to much younger opponents.
Yes, he lost in the third round, he is still the true champion to be memorized forever.

A great champion for sure. When he blew that lead in the tiebraker, it was all over.

His last two losses to Nedal saw him trying to play his old attrition game against a guy who is as fast and tireless as he used to be. It was not good game plan IMO.

Agassi...

... another one of my all-time-favourites. What a run it's been for him.

All those Sampras matches... the come from behind win in the French Open to claim the title against Medvedev...

Career grand slam, hot wives, err, wife.

Got his poster up there beside Ali and Magic....

Favourite Agassi moment though??

When responding to the comments of Yevgeny Kafelnikov (who was griping that tennis players dont make enough money), he tells the reporter to pass along a message for Kafelnikov to "take some of his prize money and buy some perspective on life".

Classic.

SK.

Agassi is cool, married to Brooke Shields for a couple years and now, Steffi Graf.

But I still miss McEnroe and his temper tantrums.

Yes, and he is still VERY cocky when he does the commentary for tennis. But his last game at Wimbleton lost to Agassi years ago when Agassi was just a hippy young gun on court, what a coincidence!

When I was a kid I called it Wimpleton for years.

Whaterver does it for you Scorp'.

Only thing hot about Steffi Graff now is her ability to give a prostate massage with that schnoz while sucking balls from behind.

Mind you when she did have ery fine legs, especially the lowe half. And when she first appeared I used to get woodies form seeing her boobs point forward like coconut shells under a blanket.

Classic! At least Steffi will be easier to please than Brooke...it is better for the "old man". Lol

The best return of serve and second best "overall" player ever after Borg.

He was able to last this long because he didn't win anything for the first 5 years of his career....otherwise we would have be done by age 30.

Hard to believe that he only made 31 million dollars over a 20 year career when similar elite athletes in other pro sports can make that much in under 5 years.

He is lucky still made 31 mil, if he'd tried other sports, he might've made next to nothing....As the rest of our folks, we will be VERY lucky if we could make or save 1 mil over 20 yrs.
