I don't know how many of you keep up with or watch tennis, but this US Open will be Andre's last tournament. I was wondering if any of you saw the match or highlights from last night, and what you thought of it. Or, if you're familiar with him and his career, what you have come to think of him over the years...

Talk about an athlete improving with age! He is definitely won of the best ever at returning a serve... I wish he could have played a little better in some of the classic tournaments with Pete Sampras (still the best ever.. though Federer is about to take that away)... He brought a lot to American Tennis. Agassi's win at the French open in 1999 was incredible. Anyway, it is nice to see that his last match will be in the US Open.

Wow! Another 3+ hour match, with quite the nail-biting outcome!
Has anybody else here been keeping track of this at all?

That match was just amazing. At some points I didn't even want to watch. since I thought he was going to lose.

I loved the ninth game in the fifth set, 8 Deuces!!! I don't think I've ever seen that before, especially not in those circumstance!
