sunnydev spoke my mind in two lines...yeah, that's what andre is about. pete definitely has more wins against andre but i have always admired the latter because of the great spirit and baseline techniques he was equipped with. Pete was more powerful a server and a great volleyer, whereas andre's game was about placing, improvisations and inexhaustible rallies--which makes tennis more worth to watch, in my view. other than that, i liked the spirit of the fighter in agassi. he would not give up until the game is over. he has won so many games in five setters...sometimes he would come back after 2 sets to 0 down and down with a double match point in the third!! now that takes a lot from a player for a come back from that position. Andre has done that in numerous occasions. great player--a legend!! here's a video of the australian open 95 final between andre and pete. enjoy! LooTe
