Agassi about to retire against the up and coming Rafael Nadal, third rd satruday.
The aging former champion Agassi (36), playing in his final Wimbledon, against young dynamo Nadal (20), trying to make his breakthrough on grass.
Andre may have a better shot than it appears at first glance, the Wimbledon grass being the advantage for Agassi ...Nadal is a relative novice on the green stuff, and has never made it past round 3.
Nadal comes into the match with 60 match win streak on the line, he was two points from losing on thusday before overcoming the 237th-ranked American qualifier Robert Kendrick in 5 sets 6-7 (4), 3-6, 7-6 (2), 7-5, 6-.
Agassi and Nadal have met only once, Nadal winning 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 in the final of the Masters Series event in Montreal on hard courts last year. The conditions will be much different this time.
This is one guy Agassi will not want to volley around with! the ball won't bounce as high and Agassi will try and cut the court down, I think he has a real shot .
This match has 'high drama at centre court' written all over it .
