Hi guys, I've had this shirt a while, signed by Andre and Steffi. Any ideas which year it is from please?

Based on record, titles, weeks at number #1 it has to be Sampras. But then again, globally Andre Agassi could be a more recognizable name. He also completed the career Grand Slam unlike Sampras who never reached the RG final. Who do you have at the top? Here's my top 5:

John McEnroe beat Andre Agassi 4-6, 3-0 retired in the WCT Finals quarter-final, 1989 on carpet in Dallas, USA McEnroe would go onto win the title, beating Brad Gilbert in the final. This would be Agassi's only entry at the event. This would be the last edition of the event McEnroe won 41...

I do know Head released a 25th anniversary back in 2018, but it was the wrong Head/Prostock Code by using the Ti.Radical OS mold but not sure about the layup itself. Anyway since the recent release of the Prestige Classic 2.0, would players/collectors want Head to release this frame with the...

For a future safeguard against overhyping the latest mug, let's make a benchmark of what it is actually possible for 17 year olds, 25 year olds, 35 year olds to do in tennis. Think Alcaraz's level is the highest ever from a 19 year old on HC? Think Fed's peak on grass is the highest ever? Now...

People forget how much of a don this legend was on HC, especially with recency bias which I’ve seen a gross amount of today. This kind of ballstriking from a 35 year old with a dodgy back would slice the next gen up like an angry samurai This was a guy who participated in one of the greatest...

By accurate, I mean reflective of their top levels, longevity, whatever you decide, across schlems. The options are: Djokovic needs 1 more RG to do it (so he probably will anyway). He has lost 5 RG finals, all to Nadal except 1 to Stan where Djoker beat Nadal en route in 2015. He also lost 2...

Andre: 2 wins, 4 losses to PETE, 2 to Lendl, 2 to Fred, 1 to Courier, Chang, Ferrero Doll: 2 wins, 2 vultured wins, 2 bad losses to Delpo/extremely injured, 1 loss to Djovak, Murray AA had much tuffer cumpetishon that didn't allow him to vulture undeservedly but sternly kept him from winning 5...

Andre had a solid 2005, finished in the top 10 once again surely he could have maintained a top 10 position during 2006 if he remained fit and motivated? Was he always going to retire in 2006 or was the back issue the reason? I think he could have stayed on, even with his pains he was still...
