Agassi for the Ages...

I've been watching the US Open this year fairly regularly, and have been generally disappointed by the matches. But last night, was a huge exception. Two matches, Davenport-Dementieva, and Agassi-Blake, simply awed me. The women's match for the purely atrocious serving ability of Ms. Dementieva, and the men's match for amazing tennis. Not that I should be surprised, considering Andre is involved. I've watched him play tennis for as long as i can remember, and i have to say, i'm more amazed now than i ever had been before. to come from 2 sets down against someone 10 years younger. Breathtaking. For sheer tennis drama and quality of play, the Sampras-Agassi semi a few years back takes the cake. but for heart, and motivation, and energy - this was one of the best i've seen in a long time. Just amazing.
On a side note, how stupid is Nike for dropping Agassi's sponsorship...
