I remember him so well in 1985 when we were both protégés of Nick at the academy and he was a few years younger than me but he had a MASSIVE desire to be acknowledged and known. He wanted to be like a rock star or celebrity and tennis was his way even if he didn’t know exactly yet how to actually become that great legend that he eventually became. I’m extremely proud of him and now that I have returned to pro tennis at age 58, I’d really like to play a match with him. Seems like old times but the only constant is the present moment. Go Andre. Let’s play 🎾
@@user-jm3vw3jl7g precision is hitting precisely to a desired spot that ideally should be about the size and width of a soccer ball (maximum) and to be consistent is totally different. You just have to be able to get the ball in but not always a precise target area. A good player if not rushed or pushed hard can hit a thousand balls back into the court but only a master can hit those targets with accuracy AND consistency 🎾
Agassi the greatest player of all time. And a great human being - honest, smart, thoughtful, witty and generous. He won everything in an era with 20 times bigger completion than the Big 3 era. And yes he won all four Grand Slam tournament, the ATP Finals championship, the Olympic gold single and the Davis Cup. Nobody can repeat that. Plus he had a tons of finals, semifinal and quarterfinal in the biggest tournaments.
This man is responsible for my love of tennis. I since moved on to Rafa, now I gotta fan girl over someone else. Maybe Carlos or sinner. Verdict is still out.
I would say mentally Andre was stronger than Federer- he never squandered match point on 40-15, at Wimbledon or on AO, it's crucial when winning matches.
There are many who overrate Agassi. He is nowhere near the big 3. In the open era alone he is behind big 3, Sampras, Borg & even behind Lendl, Connors & Mcenroe. Yeah he is the only man to win career super slam but he never dominate the sports & lacks consistency when compared to other legends of the game.
@@rajusaha855 lol ok. you tell yourself that those guys playing in sweater and long pants and running slower than jogging are on same level as Open Era pros

😂😂😅😂❤
Such a wonderful memory to have...
One of my top 3 players of all time and a cool human being.
Top 3? Who out of Big 3 would be replaced?
@@maverick6fI think they mean Top 3 favorite players.

Never listened Andre's interview before.
Such a nice guy, I wish him all the best!
Great player 🐐
So nice Andre's words about Alcaraz
Great chat 👏🏻👏🏻
I love Alcaraz too, such a sweet guy❤
He is such a good kind person.
He looks so young and healthy

Oh common, Andre reached the Wimbledon final only twice in his career (compared to Federer's 12 times). Not many chances to squandering match points.

@@rajusaha855 you don't need to qualify "open era alone", because pre-Open Era is basically irrelevant
@@molla-i-sseki-ya no, pre open era are all relevant.

Why Andre did not played the AO till 1995?
AO wasn’t as popular
The greatest achievement of Agassi's career is that he married the GOAT of women's tennis i.e Steffi Graf.😉😉
