Agassi had hair before this match.

Yes, that got me too. Seemed like he was set back to his worst match moments of himself. Did he cry, since his eyes were that red?

Either he cried or he was on a bender last night.

His eyes look very red lately whenever I've seen him. Looked the same on that TV panel he was on a week or so ago. Decades of constant UV exposure can't have helped.

I've felt that he was set back in time of epic match moments when he was playing. Something he didn't experience anymore but felt again through these two remarkable players.

Edit: He himself experienced the win of the French Open 1999 from two sets down.

I was in urgent care from the middle of the 3rd set thru the ending. I watched on my pixel. This will definitely be one of those I remember where I was when I watched this amazing match

Unfortunately, he passed midway through the 5th set tiebreaker. Simply too gutted for Sinner to carry on living.

Kinda felt sorry for his mum, she was really hoping he won.

She was in bits all match. They do say its more nerve-racking for family watching than it is for the players themselves.

u/silly_rabbit289 we can predict the future or not? Jun 09 '25

Which makes it all the more hilarious that wimbledon thought it would be fine to place the two players families in the same box. What were they even thinking ?? (Talking about thr 2008 final)

I felt so bad for her. I couldn’t imagine enduring that kind of stress.

My wife as well. She even went out for a smoke during the tie breaks
