tonight is the last goodbye for the final member of the fab 4. courrier, sampras, chang, have all come and gone, but andre gets his final farewell tonight in the one event that pulls me away from baseball every year. the US Open will host a ceremony tonight to rename the second court to billy jean king court and give andre his last NY good bye.

keep you eyes on the tube to see how much NYC shows agassi what he meant to us.

Re: tennis fans.

nobody but that elephant sitting over there in the corner, best player of all time? (RF)

Any, Andre is pure class, I just hope hope hope he is still around and I get lucky and catch him when I go for the quarterfinals.

I was watching, AA was welling up as he served out the set!! This is why we watch sports.

The sucky part is that he got a terrible draw and has to play Marcos Baghdatis in the 2nd round!! It would be a shame to oust MB so early, it would be a tragedy to oust AA.

Re: tennis fans.

yeah i saw that on the replays and ESPN. he damn near started crying on the second to last serve that he hit out.

Re: tennis fans.

Go Andre. He is on a role until he meets roddick in the 4th round and then the dream is over. I don't think he can beat roddick. But truely is one of the greats. I have enjoyed watching him over the yrs and tennis will definetly miss his presence.

...assuming Roddick makes it that far!

Re: tennis fans.

bagdhatis is better than roddick and he beat him... who knows what will happen. agassi looked like he was hurting after his match last night pretty bad.

Re: tennis fans.

Going tonight!! Blake vs Federer should be great fun, I'll be in "THE J-BLOCK!!!"

PS- shocker about Nadal getting ousted, and wow I take back what I said about Roddick, he is locked in right now, nice work Jimmy!!

had a chance to watch andy here in cincy at the masters series two weeks ago and you could tell then his game was coming back... he cruised to the championship here and honestly looks as good or even better than he ever has... not sure what connors said and/or did but roddick looks pretty damn good right now. big time pulling for blake tonight but federer is so fucking solid...

[groffhibbitz]

Re: tennis fans.

last night: roddick hewitt, didn't know who to root for becuase I don't like either of them.

tonight: black federer - again don't know who to root for, but because I like both of them a lot.

I predict Federer will cruise to another US championship (well maybe not cruise but he will win)

[Bryanw24]

Re: tennis fans.

Federer is the GREATEST EVER hands down. 3 Us opens and 3 Wimbledon titles in a row. WOW that has never been done before until now. Did you see Tiger in attendance? Those two are without a doubt the 2 most dominant players in sports today or any day imo.

[Kobe]

Re: tennis fans.

Agreed, yet that final match was very anti-climatic. Not saying RF shouldn't have won, but I just wish Roddick hadn't checked out in that last set after the build up. Great run for Andy though, let's hope he can keep this form.
