End of a legend


HE is one of the greatest tennis players. He is one of the few that managed to capture all four grand slams in the modern era. He is cool, He is bold, He is Andre Agassi.

Tennis is a very time consuming game. For a grand slam event, the men's game can take up more than 5 hours of on court time. To sit on your couch and glue to the TV for that whole entire time is not easy. However, there are a few players that have the ability to do that. For me, Adrea is one of them, along side Federer, Sampras, Becker, Edberf and last but not least my favorite player of all time, Steffi Graf.

Today saw him in action in the US Open. Unfortunately it is also his last time in action. It is really sad that his career does not end in a high note. Being booted out of the tournament like that to a lowly rank player seems unjust.

I believe he deserves better.
