Careful with the GET CRUSHED comment. Agassi has been beat pretty easily by Federer, but you are talking about one of the best tennis players ever. Even at 35 he can put together a great match against anyone.

As I expected, Agassi lost, but did NOT get crushed. Hell he had a 4-2 lead in the 3rd set and was serving... He could have, (and should have), been up 2 sets to 1. This thing really could have turned out to be another slam for the good guy, but Federer is just too good!

It was a great match and i thought agassi acquitted himself well, but when federer needed to he turned it up to a level that no one else has. He did the same thing in the tiebreak against hewitt. Its very Jordanesque. He can play even for a while but then when the other guy hits the gas and maybe even looks like hes a little ahead federer hits his own gas with a nos booster too and just flys bye. When he is on no one can touch him. I think federer has a legit shot at sampras' record for majors. I really think he will get it before he is 30. he would basically have to win 8 of 20 majors which i think he is capable of doing. The problem is that you can play him perfectly and lose. His backhand is his only supposed weakness but he can beat you with his backhand. I remember several points where agassi got him into long backhand exchanges and lost the point. Just too good. There are no holes in his game. He is the best returner in tennis. He outaced roddick in the finals in one major. What else do you want. (I know that some would say hewitt or agassi is the best returner but imo which granted may not be that highly valued by tennis experts, federer is the best)
