Did you see that backhand return? Take away the service from Roddick and he's zero. Now he's serving the 2nd serves as if they were 1st. No wonder he cried like a baby after those two calls.
Agassi's talent is ageless. It will never rust. He looks leaner and is still moving great. I am glad the hip is ok. Andre does things out there Andy could only dream of. I do think Rogi has passed Andre as the best returner on tour though. Come on Andre keep it up.
Andy has a good return. You don't accomplish what he has done with a poor return but Andre is one of the best returners of all time. Rogi, Andre, Hewitt are the top returners on the tour. I just don't see Andy beating Andre unless Andre falls apart. Andre has to lose this one. I do like that Andre is ripping the magic out of his bag instead of being passive and % like in his tennis.
Well, he broke Mirnyi what, once? He did break Haas couple of times and Tommy is a decent server - or at least used to be. He's got better in his returns but he's still not very good at it, and thats why Fed beats him at leisure.
Andy has a good return? You gotta be kidding. Granted he isn't worst returner in top 100 anymore (like he was 3 years ago) but still perhaps the worst in top 20. Go check out Matchfacts from ATP site, you don't see Andy anywhere in return stats...
No the winners and errors are good. Andre is just playing well and feeling well. When he is doing that, he mostly wins the rallies. Andy's serve has gotten him out of a lot of trouble.
Andy is still in the match, but he needs to put pressure on Agassi's second serves...take a swing or something. Make Agassi run, he isn't very fast anymore. Of course Andy can win via tiebreakers, but they're always risky business. One double-fault and *kruiks*...
