The 37 years old, never-say-die Agassi Express chugs on. The moment you write him off, he returns back like never before. His service returns are still the best, back hand has the same old spunk, while the baseline play holds itself in it's good old stead.

While I left for the office after watching him lose first two sets during his quarter final match against Blake, I thought the match was over. Luckily, Agassi did not believe on same lines. He won the last three sets, and the match. Even Blake sportingly acknowledged - "What a match too lose!".

But his opponent in finals- Roger Federer, is fifteen years younger, and one up on most of the aspects of his game. Still, what a final it was. Every point was well fought. Federer eventually won in four sets. Perhaps, to view the match set wise would be unfair. This match should have been enjoyed point by point, game by game. What a display!

As far as Federer is concerned, if he continues the way he has been doing right now, the exploits of Pistol Pete Sampras would soon be distant history because he plays those shots in reality which other mortals only play in mind, and dreams. Ask Leyton Hewitt.
