Serious Seniors Match: Agassi vs. Santoro

[halbrikj]

You might want to check this out. :shock: Fabrice hands it to Agassi pretty badly, and Andre is none too happy about it. :evil: Tries to quick serve Santoro at one point, and doesn't shake hands at the end. Guess he didn't appreciate being drop-shotted. Anyway, I sure enjoy seniors tennis much more when they're playing for real, rather than goofing around for the crowd.

Put on a pair of black socks next time Agassi! Santoro lookin in top form. handshakes aren't the custom after IPTL sets, not until after the overall match concludes.

Old-timers-ah.

How long is Agassi going to wear that necklace? It's from 10 years ago, is it his version of Bono's sunglasses?

Agassi looked so p*ssed off, a kid will always remain a kid.

Agassi goes cold in these senior matches. Saw McEnroe just paste him at MSG a couple years ago, 0-4 then he got a game or two at the end. Same pattern as this one. AA doesn't take these matches too seriously obviously.

Put the video at 12:20 and look how Agassi is a sore loser.
Exhibition and the guy can't stand losing to Santoro :mrgreen:

Santoro creamed him, he clearly hits way more often than Agassi does these days.

 

[BTURNER]

Was it me, or did it appear that Andre was in back pain, walking a bit gingerly between points? In any case, if you don't like droppers, don't walk out on court if Santoro is on the other side.

 

[NLBwell]

If Santoro knew Agassi was in pain before the match, which he probably did, I can see why Agassi would get upset if Santoro was drop-shotting him a lot. He might expect that that Santoro wouldn't make him look bad. Still, I agree with BTURNER, even if it's an exhibition, it's still tennis and you can't be upset about how the other guy won.

i think agassi always kinda walked that way more or less. after the match agassi said he didnt know the event was going to be so competitive and cut throat and was kind of embarrassed with how he played

A few random observations. Agassi shaves all of his body hair, which I consider gross for a man; Santoro used the drop shot only twice the entire set; Santoro was using a Prince racquet; Agassi was an a** for serving a 100mph serve while Fabrice was walking with his head down to return serve in the deuce court; Agassi was clearly out of shape and looked like he was going to puke; lastly, Agassi is a poor loser.

^Are you in Delaware man? I'm in the Newark area and always looking for hitting partners.
