Awesome he was!! But as expected the Federer Express just rolls on!! The match was pretty tight till the 3rd set tiebreak. I thought Agassi matched it up with Roger pretty well till then. But what happened in the tiebreak and later is something we are pretty much used to these days. Andre rates Roger as the best he has ever played against and that includes the great Pete Sampras too!!!

Agassi-Steffi’s kids were so cute. Ain’t they?

Well Agassi’s career ‘graf’ is the stuff of legends.Its been a rollercoaster ride.I for one am a big fan of agassi.One heck of an entertainer.Truly hope he meets Federer in the final and emerges the winner out of another thriller.From his early days to what he is today..well what can one say just remarkable tranformation,maturity.Definetly a great guy for all he is on and off the court.Awesome Andre!!

there are a handful matches that i could recall from the top of my head which i always thought were classics. but among recent times this was great and (running on eastern time) i stayed awake for the entire match and had to get up very early for my class the next day.

The agassi-blake game was intense as it had a veteran fighting for survival against a immensely strong and mobile blake. And yes, it was one of the best. It was awesome to see agassi use the court and his service returns were phenomenal. But, the night before, I witnessed a match – one that resembled the Sanchez-Graf matches in wimbledon. It was Venus vs Clijsters. It was one heck of a game..especially the second set. That match was dominated by winners, outright passing shots with power and precision..It was very fulfilling to watch such high quality tennis played by BOTH players. Picture Perfect.

Unbelievable comeback by Agassi !! I saw the first 2 sets to see Blake outpowering Agassi. I thought the 3rd set would be a mere formality in less than 30 mins. What a comebakc it turned out to be !!!

Hemanth, Blake might be a lower ranked player, but by no means he was playing any lesser in this US Open. He took out Nadal and was playing at his best.

Even in the decider set, he had the break of serve and was serving for the match at 5-4 when Agassi broke back and took it to tie breaker to win it by just a point’s differece. Heartbreak for Blake. I feel sorry for him. He played so well in this tournament.

LG, Know what? When Blake was winning the first 2 comfortably, I was looking for Steffi in the stands. When I couldn’t find her, I told my better half that Steffi would come in by 3rd set and Tamil cinema style la hero yelaa adi vaangi vizhuntha appram, steffi kurala kaettu yezhundhu, thoosiya thattitu vandhu yelaa villains-a dhool kelappuvaaru. Steffi kural koduthaangalaa nnu theriyala, but Andre did something like that

But I still feel, the cup is for Roger this time too after seeing the way he decimated NelPandian.

C’mon guys, Are you kidding. I won the quarters in just 100 minutes. Andre, I guess will last for say 20 or 30 minutes more, that is if he meets me on the last night.

Nitin, your guess could be right.

Annop, Appidya Pottu thakku !!

Shriram, it certainly was a great match.

Barath, Yep, 35 and still going strong.

Hemanth, Blake wasn’t pathetic but certainly not matching goran’s ace. However, it was a thriller.
