O.K., I'm happy that he's out there and doing well and making a go at it at 35. I don't have anything against the guy, but.....

am I the only one who can't stand that stupid bowing and kissing that he has to do to all corners when he wins a match? Ugh!!! I also appreciate acknowledging the fans but it's just as lame as what Venus and Serena do with all that piroetting, etc.

Just clap your hands against the racket, wave and then get off the court already! Enough with the show-your tennis match was enough!

That bow has always given me hives. Was it a performance? Was it scripted? Thanks for being a fellow Agassi cynic. Always one of my favorites and least favorites in the same breath.

i have always hated it, but that's my only beef nowdays...the hair, the shorts, hat's a different issue!

It is a strange dichotomy when it comes to Agassi isn't it?

Now to make it worse, Sharapova has started her version of the four corner salute...replete with a kiss.

Not that I would ever want this to happen...but wouldn't it be funny if someone tripped once during their four corner salute and chipped a tooth.

Wow. A player being polite and appreciative of the crowd. Of all the things to complain about.

I would agree with Neptune. Agassi is so appreciative of the people who shell out the big bucks to come out and watch him play. To each his own, but I love the endings of his matches. Especially when he wins. wink

It seems a little self-serving at times...that's all.

Of course it's a little self serving. I say "please" and "thank you," not just because I want to be appreciative, but also because I don't want someone to think I'm a rude assh*le. But I'm not going to start complaining if Agassi's bowing (or the Williams twirling) is the equivalent of that sentiment.

I don't have a problem with it. He is acknowledging the fans who are in his corner for that match and its also for the fans who have cheered him on for years to win. Different strokes for different folks. Venus is a trip with her queenly wave and twirl but I think its cute. Serena has changed her 'thank you' ever since Maria Hypapova sort of bit off of her with her 4 corner kiss.

I worked in the players lounge at the 96 Olympics in Atlanta. It was there that I decided I didnt like Andre. I thought he was an arrogant ass. Never really have liked him since.

whatever!

agassi's the ultimate crowd darling. the crowd loves the bows and kisses.

What's in a name?

AgASSi

Looks almost like it's being spanked in Dubai by Federer

He does seem to be quite the salesman. I liked him when he had the long hair. Love the earring.
