The Agasi Legacy
I'm trying to go the bed but Andre won't let me. He keeps returning shots, blistering forehand winners, and continues to puzzel Pavel. He won 5 straight games in the 3rd set after being down 4-0 and won it to go up 2-1 in the match. He doesn't quit. As they play on the east coast, its after midnight. I'm exhausted and he's just getting warmed up. Agasi, in his late 30's, is going to retire after the Open, but at times he looks like he is in his prime. I remember the days when Agasi wore locks to his shoulders and ran around the court like a bumble bee. He was a little cockier then and could back it up with cat-quick skills.. He has mellowed somewhat later in life, but his play tonight doesn't display that. I don't know if I can stay up much longer tonight Andre. Good luck and I hope to find out in the morning on ESPN that you advanced to the second round. New York and American tennis fans are not quite ready for your living legacy to expire just yet.
