Federer

Federer beat Agassi in the US open final today. Agassi put up a grand fight, actually beating my expectations. Not that I think Agassi isnt a great player.. the way he turned around matches leading to this final was one an exhibition of great mental toughness.. but Federer .. this guy is in another league. Even when Roger lost some focus in the second set and Agassi was up 4-2 in the third set, I never for a moment thought that Agassi was gonna take it from there. Federer did show some frustration sometimes when he was down, but it was more like competing against his own best rather than competing Agassi. To me, this guy is the best tennis player I have witnessed. He just makes seemingly impossible winners from any part of the court and I have to close my jaw shut later after realizing its been hanging loose in bewilderment. Pete Sampras was great too but a huge strength of his was his serve, but in carving out winning shots, Federer rules.
