Agassi may be in trouble tonight

A pro, early 20's, huge talent and ridiculously out of shape.

Well,those are 2 incredibly game individuals.Baghdatis' matches often look this way.If he had won,he couldn't of gone far with his legs shot. I think he cramped like that in Australia too.Guy has big problems with his legs,and fitness(in general.) Not overweight.So,maybe he just needs to stop having the long rallies,and shorten the length of his matches(for sure.)

People were wearing jackets, it was not that hot. The guy is not in shape. Its shameful actually. Andre is in fantastic shape, he just has very little flexibility and severly limited mobility. These younger guys... some of them have never been in top shape. I doubt Bags knows what it feels like. Take 10lbs-15 lbs off him and we got a player.

I'm not convinced that he is out of shape.Maybe.That is not a guy carrying a lot of extra weight.Maybe 5-10.I just think that, genetically, some people are simply not made to have as much stamina as we assume.We assume all human athletes have great stamina.That's because those without stamina don't make it very far in most sports(especially tennis.)Might just be a case where a rare low stamina athlete makes it on T.V.,because he has so much shot-making talent. Joggers tend to think everybody can run as far as they do(if they keep trying to do it,)but I think joggers are high stamina humans to begin with(or else they would hate jogging.)I am not convinced that more cardio (and less body weight )is gunna get Baghdatis to stop huffin n' puffin.I hope your right,and I am wrong.The truth is probably in between the 2 views.

Trust me, all the top players on the tennis tour are in excellent shape. Cramping up is not a result of being in poor shape. Your out of your mind if you think Baghdatis is not in good shape and has gotten this faralong in his career. Hes made it to the Australian Open final in January where the temps exceed 100.

The US Open is Andre's stage and the crowd and his heart got him through last night. Lets hope he wins some more matches, especially when he faces Roddick on Labor Day.

Damn I wanted to choke Andre. Bagds was cramping and couldn't run, and andre couldn't hardly keep the ball in play! Andre plays long points and rallies, that's why he's so fun to watch. Those big hitters go back and forth twice and the points over. Glad he got it done. He's always been my fav, we got the same hair do.

PS, does anybody think if Stephie got her nose done she would be hot?

I have never watched a full tennis match until this tourney. I am hooked. I could not get to sleep last night I was so excited after watching Agassi and Bagdahtis.
