Why I want to meet Andre Agassi

What will I say?
I’ll tell him that watching Agassi: Between The Lines on The Tennis Channel changed my life.

Why I want to meet Andre Agassi

Andre changed tennis. His backhand and service return are some of the best in the business and his forehand was nothing to mess with either. His last match against Baghdatis was the most epic tennis match I’ve ever watched. I take my tennis playing directly from Agassi and I really idolize him immensely. By far my favorite tennis player.

Why I admire Andre Agassi

After witnessing the emotional farewell marking the end of the Agassi Era.. I feel obliged to share some of my thoughts regarding this great individual.

I have been a great fan of Andre the athlete for many a years and over the last few, I have come to know and admire more of “The Man”

His elite tennis record speaks for itself as his hall of fame career sets him apart as one of the greatest to ever play the game.

He was a distinguished ambassador for this great sport. I credit him for turning me into a casual follower…later to become an avid fan and eventually picking up the sport myself

His fitness level and prime conditioning, especially in the later part of his career truly was an inspiration .. A testimony to his hard word and dedication as part of his ever present passion for tennis

Over the barrage of tournaments/great matches and many vintage moments that I had the privilege to follow.. I will always remember his visits to Toronto @ the Canadian Open. Also, who can ever forget the thrillers we witnessed at the US Open over the decades..where the crowds in presence and following around the globe sensed something special at hand every time.

The little guy form Las Vegas..
A great player and a great man. his love of the game oozed in his magnificence.. His long and successful career , a proof of his vision and ability to adapt and execute. A true competitor and a fighter on and off the court. Know this much Sir.. Over the years.. No matter who the opponent was or how grim the situation seemed… I rooted for you till the end….always!

Mr. Agassi has come a long way from his brash beginnings as the long-haired prodigy of tennis ..the bold and colorful rebel with attitude in his wild-child retro days. Somewhere along the journey he matured into a humble soul and the elder statesman. One of the most likable personalities in all of sports. An active philanthropists and a great human being all around.

Truly, a man of great character if I ever knew one..

A gentleman on and off the court, he has left an everlasting impression on all that came to know him. Your fans will deeply miss you and this sport wont be the same without you.

We truly are in dept to you for all that you have done for tennis and all you have given of yourself as a member of the human race

Thank You, for all the the magical moments, those classic points and the precious memories all around

WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU!
