I watched all those matches and it was a painful experience for an Agassi fan, because even though there were some tie breaks, he never ever won a set and never looked as if he had realistic chances. The Wimbledon and YEC final as well as the Cincinnati semi were pure masterclass performances from Pete. You are right that conditions might have been favorable to Pete (relatively speaking as Andre himself was good on any surface), but this would also hold true had they met at the USO. After the two matches at LA and Cincinnati and considering (half in hindsight) Pete’s 4-0 record over Andre at the USO, I cannot see how Andre would have won this. Ofc we will never truly know and Pete even in his best years was no stranger to upsets outside Wimbledon so might also be possible that Andre could avoid him, but under normal circumstances he should at least been favored. While it is a minority opinion around these boards, I also value H2H way higher than most others here. In an individual sport that is played uno vs. uno i simply find it illogical to disregard H2H completely. 4-1 with 10-2 in sets is a beatdown and we are not talking some weird match up issue where a way inferior player who does not win much else scores some meaningless wins in smaller tournaments, but the two best players in the world that year, including a Wimbledon and a YEC final. Andre himself already said in his speech after the Wimbly final that he does not feel like the No.1 (he became it by reaching the final), and I am sure after the YEC beat down he felt the same.
