UnPredictability

the predictability that comes with most of the greats in any sports is mindboggling...but for the normal human it almost becomes a routine and the greatness of the athlete is put to the background...this happened with Micheal Schumacher (Alonso or probably the new rules by the racing body did the trick) and was close to happening to Pete Sampras but the French Open saved him

i watched the Agassi-Pavel matched today before leaving for work...and such a rollercoaster it was...and that exactly is wat you shud expect when Agassi is playing...

the perfection in the sport becomes so much that its almost a mechanical precision with which these guys go about it but with Agassi...its totally different...certainly one of the legends and certainly one of the best adapters to any surface and its very very few who come like this...and you can actually see the power of human mind while he is playing...some games he would be 2 sets down and come back to win it

though he is among the greats the matches he plays are never one sided and the momentary brilliance of the opponent is also available to be enjoyed (though I dont really ;) ) while in the case of Pete Sampras and Roger Federer the same is not available...

the unpredictability of Agassi is wat makes him great like wat predictability did for Pete Sampras

it would be one of the best moments in history if Agassi wins this US Open but then... again its uncertain...and watever might be the result, he would always be one of the best
