Andre Agassi

What can I say about Andre Agassi? In the short time that I have been watching and casually playing tennis, I came to enjoy the way he plays his games. He does a great job of hitting hard during his matches, no matter who he plays in a particular tournament. I also find Andre to be a class act when he happens to be eliminated from a particular tournament; I always find it classy at how he graciously commends his opponents and thanks his fans from the bottom of his heart for their many years of support.



However, one thing that I am going to be missing in the world of men’s tennis after Andre’s loss in the U.S. Open is the heart that he always brought to the court. Right now, the game doesn’t feel like it will be the same knowing that Andre won’t be playing anymore now that he’s joining his wife Steffi in retirement.



In all, now that Andre has retired, I really wish him the best of luck in all of his future endeavors and that he enjoys spending as much time as he can with his family. You rock Andre!

As a tennis player myself, Andre has been an inspiration to me on and off the court. His style and strokes are just magnificent. His attitude is always positive, which is hard, because in tennis, you always have to try and remain calm. Andre is just such a great person that words could never describe.



From his early days where he was a "rebel" to today where he wears his "Daddy Rocks" necklace he has pushed American tennis players to be the best that they can, and try to succeed as others such as Federer and Nadal. Andre will be missed so much by so many after the U.S. Open; it will seem sureal, and it might seem unfair, but Andre was the best American tennis player ever. He has set the standard for others, and decided to live a calmer lifestyle. Congratulations Andre!
