Default Agassi

Think I will tune into some tennis for the first time in a long time tonight and the rest of this tourney. Agassi always seemed like a good person, I'll root him on.

I love Agassi. Forgot he was playing tonight. While its his swan song, I cant help but root for a Nadal - Federer final.

Good luck Andre! I hope he crushes Roddick if they both keep winning (they would meet in the 4th round).

I'll always be a Safin,and Nadal fan.Baghdatis is talented as well,but maybe not quite the firepower of the other 2.Don't discount Safin.He is as talented as anybody.Sometimes he gets his sht together.Not very often, though.Did he lose yet?? LOL..PROBABLY..

21 years Agassi has kept with it. He was a prime candidate for burnout and he is still playing. Amazing mental effort to get himself straightened out. And I might mention he is in damn good shape for a man his age.

Total respect from me.

I was always more of a Sampras fan myself but you gotta respect what Andre has done and is still doing. Hope he pulls this one out tonite...

down 6-7, 7-6, 3-4 right now...

This US Open promises to be one of the best in a very long time. Since that epic final between Sampras and Agassi a few years back. So many storylines, none as important as Agassi going out.

Unfortunately his draw is very tough. He has to play Baghdaditis in the next round and he is huge.

Nadal and Federer in the final, this time on a very neutral court surface, is what this sport really needs.

No, I'm saying that I'm lucky that it looks like I'll get to see him. He'll definitely be the primetime match, right?

Most likely yes but since he played at night last night, they may switch it up and let him play during the day. Not really sure how that works.

I have never been lucky enough to see Andre play nor Tiger Woods, my 2 favorite athletes of all time.

Have a blast Slot and I hope you get to see him. If you get the chance, Nadal would be a great watch too.

I would root against Nadal. The dude wears capri pants.

I have to imagine Agassi will be primetime.

Ya, I forgot for a second that they depend more on teh people watching it on TV for advertising purposes. Andre most definetely will be on at night. Especially since this is it for him. WHo knows when his last match will be.

If it comes against Roddick I will be very upset. I hate that punk.

Nadal may look like a girl out there but hes the goods.

Andre would have to play Nadal if he got that far. I believe he meets Roddick if he wins 2 more matches. That could be a match that will air on Labor Day.
I cant stand Roddick and hope Andre pummels him.
