THe Bag man is just awful right now. Missing numerous winnners, unforced errors abound. Hope this keeps up.

Bag has a lot of talent,but is his own worst enemy.You don't make it to the finals of the Australian,and the Semis of Wimbledon ,by being a bad player.He does best with a crowd in his favor(not true this evening.)His biggest problem is his fitness.Young man is a sprinter (if there ever was one.)I think he is only 21.He has a ton of talent,but has some technique problems,and needs to be a lot more selective at the shots he uses. This is one guy that can be coached into something much better than you see this evening.Hits a lot of beautiful winners,but gets tired,and makes too many errors.I would add that even when he plays poorly,I would rather watch him make a few winners(and lose) than watch Federer tire somebody out.

Agassi is just flat out immobile. He is in great shape but the poor guy just cant move well. If he gets this one, I just cant see him going much further. Bag man is huffin and puffin and Agassi is fine, but the Bag man is 10X as mobile.

Bag man is playing Agassi completely the wrong way and is still hanging. He should be chipping the ball a little shallower to the corners. Needs to make Agassi bend while he is moving. Even if it means losing some points. He just slugs away with him. Bag man does need a coach. He is more interested in looking good playing than winning. No need to have deep baseline rallies with Agassi. Thats trying to beat him the hard way for the condition he is in.

It so obvious. Make him bend and move. Everything low. Not high where Agassi can crush it. It makes for fun watching but its stupid tennis.

Bags has got the shots.LOL.Someday a coach will get him to stop getting involved in the long rallies that eventually exhaust him (in the long run.) He has the better shots than most players,but when he uses his energy up in long rallies,it plays into their hands.See tonight,he just sent this into 5 sets.He will have nothing to give in his next match(if he gets through here.)
