See,I think people get a little thrown by the fact that women often win the French,and another major in the same year.The men don't do it like that very much.How many of these French Open winners won another major the same year as they won the French?For that matter,how many of them won another major(other than the French)Period? Agassi got it done.He deserves a ton of credit for that.Agassi didn't have to contend with Nadal at the French in '99.Quite simply,this is a much,much different game than is required to win the other majors.It is not a minor adjustment that is needed.
