Anyone watching the Agassi match on CBS?

It is like watching a prize fighter that has fought one to many fights. Her is limping on both legs and looks like he is over 100.

The fans do not know rather to cheer or cry for this over the hill Super Star. Kind of a shame he has to go out this way.



I am hoping he loses today and does not have to come back and face some ranked opponent that could really hurt him.

He is putting up a hell of a fight, though. If Becker didn't make 3.3729e12 unforced errors per game, it would be over by now.

2 points in a row for the old man.


I still think he needs to be bleeding from some part of his body for this to be "MOVIE" worthy. He already has the limp down cold.

Unbelievable that fans are booing Becker for a nice drop shot. It's not his fault that most of Agassi's mobility is gone.

great point just now by Agassi, catching up to the drop shot.

That should be the nail in the coffin.

Kind of touching to see him visibly upset in his post-match speech/interview.

That was probably one of the most touching 15 minute spans I've ever seen on live TV.

I concur with aran. If you weren't tearing up, you have no soul. It almost felt like Becker was sandbagging the set until near the end. Let Agassi work while he slowly got his second wind.

That's exactly what he was doing and it was a great strategy. Most every single time he got into a rally with Agassi, Agassi won the point and sucked energy out of Becker.

And, ironically, Agassi made a career doing what Becker did today.
