On Sunday Night I watched a legend exit the World Stage. It was truely emotional and after all it is my blog. Andre Agassi exited the World Stage and graced the centre court for the Last time at Flushing Meadows. Earings, Odd Socks, Lycra Outfits, Long Hair. Colour and Razmatazz. Image was everything. I missed those days. When serving wasnt everything. There were greats like Becker, Chang, Edberg, Courier, Lendl, Ivanisivic. There was no feeling like striking a backhand down the line, When you feel like you in the Zone. Watching the Sun Set across the Court. Nowadays you cant find anybody to play against. Agassi was different. The Outfits, The rebel Image. He will be sorely missed. He had style and besides the Glitz and Glamour he had an unbelievable talent. Best Returner of Serve I have ever seen. Yes the chaps are coming to the end of the road now. Now its Agassi, Then it will be Del. Nevertherless a Tribute to the man that made me Take up the Game!!
what a legend, a true champion and sportsman
ReplyDeleteA legend no doubt!
ReplyDeleteSad to see these guys go!
Rumour has it u stopped supporting the guy in the last year when he switched from Nike to Adidas?
One of the greats of all time.
ReplyDeleteIf his kids inherit his backhand and Steffi's forehand we'll possibly see the greatest tennis players ever.
