Andre Agassi Hold Quotations

The third and fourth set, I felt I was a bit living on the edge with my serve. He was getting a lot of good swings at it, had me under a lot of pressure. But the fifth, I had a few good easy hold games and started to relax a little bit more and hit my spots a little bit better, so that helped me to relax on my return games, as well.

Anything you try to do, he potentially has an answer for, ... He plays the game in a way I haven't seen before. I mean, he's the only guy where you hold serve for 1-0, and you're thinking, 'All right ... good (laughter).' That's how it is. You've always got that sense of urgency. It's an incredible challenge.

He's the only guy I've ever played where you hold serve to go 1-0 and you're thinking, 'All right, good. The amount of options he has to get around any particular stage of the match seems to be endless. He can elevate his game at any time.

He's the only guy I've ever played against you hold serve to go 1-0 and you think all right, good. There's a sense of urgency on every point, on every shot.

He can keep his spin, but I'd rather take away his speed ? or make him right-handed. Any one of those things would change the dynamics dramatically. I'd first go speed, (and) then I'd go right-handed; then I'd go spin. On clay it's different. Spin would probably be right up there with the speed. On hard court, I can take the ball early and I didn't have much issue with that, but I did have issue with his ability to use his speed to get a hold of a point; and then he wouldn't let go of it once he had it.

He plays the most breakers because his hold game is that good and he struggles that much on the ground game,
