Agassi about to retire against the up and coming Rafael Nadal, third rd satruday. :103631605

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 .

This is going to be great. Definatly looking foward to it.

Seeing Andre in the old man role. When did you ever think this would happen.

Took Agassi at +200 last night. As good as Nadal is, this is not his surface and he was all out to win in 5 yesterday. Agassi is at his best on a fast surface like grass and hard court. Fair price.

Doesn't seem to be on TV--they're showing the Fish match instead on ESPN2.

typical ESPN coverage of tennis...surprised they're not running a re-play of Roddick's 1st round match.

i never understand their coverage

I'm guessing ABC has the right to name their match for later on the day...the announcers won't even mention the match so ABC can play it on tape delay

Nadal about to win the second set up 5-2. Agassi is all but finished.

He actually blew a 5-2 lead in the tiebreaker.
