I haven't followed professional tennis and didn't know much about Agassi beyond recognizing his name, but after reading your post about him, he seems to be a class act and a good role model for young aspiring tennis players. This is a good thing. We need as many good role models in professional sports as we can get.

I enjoyed your interesting post. Thank you, GeeBee. I learned something about someone that I didn't know much about. :-)

Best wishes to Andre Agassi in his "retirement".

BTW, love your tennis ping graphic. :-)

Thanks so much! I hope you had an enjoyable weekend :)

I feel a bit older. ;) It doesn't seem like 21 years that I've enjoyed watching him play tennis. LOL I wish the best for him and his family.

Andre, I watched very little tennis however when I watched your last games I saw class, even though you didn't win that last tournament, you walked away a winner. A true champion.

Good Evening Luv
How are you? I use to play tennis. I wasn't so bad either. LOL. Hubby and I had a few of our dates at the US Open. :) Great memories.

Booboo has one more day to go and back to school. I will be a little sad.

Always something new to learn about my friends. I would love to see the US Open myself. That would make a great date!

Hope she has a good year and gets a sweet teacher. (((hugs)))

Agassi is a class act. He was the only reason I watched tennis. If he wasn't playing I didn't watch.

If Pete Sampras hadn't had such a wicked serve, Andre would likely have a few more tournament trophies.

I wish him and Steffi and family well.

He made a winning speech. Tennis won't be the same to me without him.

I agree, he would have. We've watched him have ups and downs on and off the court. It's great to see him retire on such a high note-- happily married to Steffi with children. I wish them the best too.

It was such fun going to the US Open.

Thanks. Booboo's teacher is said to be very nice. So that is good. See you in the morning. :)
