Agassi Wins. Incredible!

Just watched Andre Agassi break James blake's serve to go 5-5 in the fifth set at the US Open quarterfinals. What a great match of men's tennis this has turned out to be.

Agassi just served to go up 6-5 after being down 5-4.

Both guys are dropping blistering first serves in with very few faults, the pace is unbelievable. It's hard to know who to root for: Agassi is my age and playing some of the best tennis of his life. Blake is the cinderalla man coming back from a terrible neck injury and looks like an up and comer with a stunning forehand.

What to do.

Blake goes up 40-0 on the serve, but Agassi just dropped a lob to go 40-30 before Blake serves an ace to force a tiebreaker. This is frickin' awesome.

What a great match. Seriously. What fun. Congrats to Agassi. I never thought he'd keep up with Blake, but he did, and looked young again doing it.

Thanks to both gentlemen for a memorable match. Blake just noted how much fun it was to lose to Agassi. Called him a true champion. I would have to agree.

Two great American athletes, magnanimous and honest. Agassi says he wasn't the winner, "tennis was." Again...I agree.

I'm off to bed. I highly recommend catching the replay of this match if it's out there.
