Tennis is at an amazing time when you've got two of the best players ever to play the game. You can argue the two very best playing in the same generation. It's a rivalry I think that we've never seen in our sport.

This sport has given me so much that my hope would be to give back as much as I can for as long as I can.

I always felt tennis and winning was a byproduct of doing everything right.
Andre Agassi
Image
Tennis uses the language of life. Advantage, service, fault, break, love - the basic elements of tennis are those of everyday existence, because every match is a life in miniature.
Andre Agassi
Image
I envy Pete Sampras's dullness. I wish I could emulate his spectacular lack of inspiration.
Andre Agassi
Image
I got a hundred bucks says my baby beats Pete's baby. I just think genetics are in my favour.
Andre Agassi
Image
Big dreams are so damn tiring.
Andre Agassi
Image
I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start with not caring how I feel. That's going to feel great.
Andre Agassi
Image
No athletes talk to themselves like tennis players. Pitchers, golfers, goalkeepers, they mutter to themselves, but tennis players talk to themselves-and answer. Tennis players look like lunatics in a public square.
Andre Agassi
Image
It's easier to live with disappointment than regret.
Andre Agassi
Image
You'll hear a lot of applause in your life, but none will mean more to you than that applause from your peers. I hope each of you hears that at the end.
