It's not like in basketball, where you run out the clock and somebody throws up a half-court shot that happens to go in and rips your heart out, ... This is a guy that's forcing me to close him out. ... He deserved that set, and outplayed me in the fourth.
More Quotes from Andre Agassi:
He's always been a real dangerous player, ... You never know when somebody comes of age or game. (For) some people, it happens a lot earlier than others. I haven't played him in a while. Certainly watching his wins over the last couple weeks have been great, not only here, but also in New Haven (where Blake won the title). He just looks like he's doing a lot of things well. There's no question he's doing something better than he used to do.Andre Agassi
He's playing a lot smarter, ... which doesn't give you those free points that make the difference.
Andre Agassi
In the end, despite grabbing the fourth set 6-3 and coming close to a break in the fifth set, he was unable to keep Federer from advancing. After, the talk focused on how much longer Agassi would play. Contrary to what you hear, I've never had the intention not to play, ... As long as I'm forcing the best players to play good tennis to beat me, I owe it to the game to stick around.
Andre Agassi
It's an incredible serve, ... I'm trying to figure out where it is I would need to stand on the court to have the same trajectory. It's not a function of how fast it is because a lot of guys can serve it 135-plus. The trajectory is the main issue because you're lunging, but then it's up. You're sort of diving, but then you can't reach it, even if you dive perfectly and on cue.
Andre Agassi
But, I would say when I was four years old and I was at the Alan King Tennis Tournament and I was hitting with all the pros that would come to town. They would get me on the court or take notice and that stayed with me.
Andre Agassi
Everybody here is taking the day out of their lives to come watch me, and I thank you for that,
Andre Agassi
