Andre Agassi Ace Quotations

I was a bit discouraged there in the fourth. He went through a stretch there where I was lucky if every third point, I was in the point. He was hitting ace after ace. I just needed a chance, and I didn't get that till the fifth.

He kept raising his game, ... He had me under a lot of pressure. He went through a stretch there where I was lucky if every third point I was in the point. I mean, he was hitting ace after ace.

There's so many faces you don't recognize anymore, to play against someone you know makes it that much more comfortable.

On the heels of our new partnership with Tamarack Resort, we felt that the people of Boise would really embrace Rock-n-Racquets, ... Our intention is to bring this unique event to a market that typically has not had the opportunity to see professional tennis at a whole new level.

Over the last 20 years, I've come full circle, ... To be here at an age where I can take in that sort of love and be at an age where I can embrace it is a tremendous feeling.

I've gotten to a point where I don't even think about them anymore, because I can't afford to weigh myself down with sort of the rat race of trying to keep up with everything, ... I can't do it anymore.

That'll be a tough match, ... These are tough conditions ? quick courts, wind. He's a quick-court player. He uses the pace really well and moves the ball around. I'll have my hands full.

So now all of a sudden I'm faced with the reality that I can actually go enjoy the Open this year, because I'm doing a few things right, which is nice to feel, ... Yeah, I like where I am right now.

Playing a surface like we are here is not easy on the body,

To be here at an age when I can take in that sort of love (from the fans) and embrace it is a tremendous feeling, ... I'll never forget this. They can't take that away from me.

Few of us are granted the grace to know ourselves, and until we do, maybe the best we can do is be consistent.

I've been motivated by overcoming challenge and overcoming the hurdles and obstacles that face me. There still is plenty out there to get motivated by.

It's always a bit sad when somebody you spent so much time with over the years, played so many matches against, decides it's time for them to move on. But I'm sure he'll embrace this next stage of his life with the same standards he's shown out there for all these years.

I just couldn't get my teeth back in the match. I started second-guessing my shots. I never found the pace I was looking for. I played too big some points and some points I would try to control a bit more. Then I'd give him too good of a look.
