Agassi

Agassi had cortisone shot after match:

"Andre Agassi's first-round victory at the US Open was more painful than anyone realized."

This may well be Andre Agassi's last tournament but he is leaving us with so many years and hours of brilliant tennis...and he is nice with it!! As a package he is a good mix and apart form his tennis he has shown how to be poised and focussed as he has grown older in the sport. Something has to drive him out of it and it will be the pain. An ageing body does not recuperate so well and yet he has run that bosy hard and shown everyone that you can enjoy top levl sport for a lot longer than people say. He will be an inspiration and mentor for the rest of his life. He is the sort of person who has made a great sporting hero and a great example for people growing up. I wish him well in this touranment but no matter how it ends up he will be a winner because he is such a legend and his legendary status will not be diminished because he had the guts to keep himself at the top all these years and is a worthy match for those much younger. Great guy. Great tennis player. It was sooooo good, though , when he got rid of that "awesome" hairdo!!!
