yes, agassi had superb timing and hit the ball extremely early and cleanly
his best on hardcourts in 95 shows this. pure power, struck cleanly, often down the line, off both wings
federer is a great shotmaker, but a lot of his 'wow' shots can be attributed to his footspeed and reflexes
look at federer now he has aged somewhat. the winners out of nowhere just don't happen
his technique has certainly not gone down. if anything, his backhand and serve have improved
again, it's federer's speed and reflexes that allowed him to make those shots
someone like agassi was not a natural athlete, and relied on pure hand to eye co-ordination
