Goodbye Andre Agassi
Andre Agassi’s 20-year tennis career ends in defeat by Benjamin Becker in the third round of the US Open.
Still crying, Agassi paid a sentimental tribute to his fans.
“The scoreboard shows that I lost today, but what it doesn’t show is what I found,” he said.
“Over the last 20 years I have found loyalty, you have pulled me through on court and also in life.
“I have found inspiration - you have willed me to succeed - and I have found genorosity.
“I thank you and I wiill take you and the memory with me for the rest of my life.”… more

I remember watching him at wimbledon when i was really little and the awfully long hair!
It was a shame he lost, but it was a good match.
I gues it is the end of an era,

Fatema,
Welcome to the blog.. and no I am no freaking out (I don’t think I even know you). He was destined to lose. He is old and he cannot play anymore. No I’m not a Murray fan.. I’m actually rooting for Safin!
ws,
Abbas
