Agassi out Nadal through to 4th round at Wimbledon

Well, Andre Agassi did his best but he just couldn't beat the 20 year old Spaniard Rafael Nadal. Who was just too quick for him. He had an unbreakable serve as well, and twice as many winners.

It's really too bad, I mean the guy is going to retire after the U.S. Open it would have been really great if he won his last Wimbledon.

But what are you gonna do? it's the young players that are dominating the court these days. In the first set Andre fought hard and managed to get it to a tie break but the next 2 sets Nadal was unstoppable. He won it 7/6 6/2 6/4.

So now the Wimbledon final will once again no doubt have Nadal and Federer battling it out. Which is nothing new there really since these 2 have met at least 3 times this year.

But what makes this match interesting is that Nadal is one of the only players who is capable of beating Federer. Who has also been unstoppable.

I think that this time it might be Federer who is victorious because grass is his surface. But I guess we shell wait and see.

I'm still rooting for Andre to make something happen in September at the U.S. Open I want him to go out in style:).

One other player who is out on the women's side is Venus who got beaten by Jelena Jankovic in 3 sets 7/6 /4/6 6/4. Now the draw has really opened up, if only Hingis could have made it through.

Here is an article relating to Agassi's match from TSN and Wimbledon.

Andre has come a long way. When he was younger and brash, I didn't care much for him. Wasn't until he won Wimbledon that I gained respect for him, and he became one of my favorites of the time along with Pete Sampras. He's had a great career, and accomplished many things.

Yeah, he really has matured into a wonderful guy. And I'm glad you like Sampras too, he's one of my faves as well.
