Andre Agassi Hard Quotations

I was a bit discouraged there in the fourth. As hard as I was wanting to try, there's not a lot you can do when you're just not getting into the points,

I've said before, I don't know how I'm going to go out, ... I know one thing, if I'm out there playing well and giving something back to the sport, it's going to be hard not to give it more.

Ivo, it's so hard to break him. One or two points can decide the match. It was good to close that one out, this was getting tougher.

Pretty amazing. I don't know if I can put in context how this compares with some of my greatest experiences on the tennis court, but I know it's right up there, because this is what you work so hard for.

This is what you work so hard for. This means as much to me as being in the finals.... There are few moments that can be this special.

As much as I want to get out there and do the best I can, you will not see me on the court anymore if I'm not 100 percent. If I have a little pain in my life; that's fine. I just don't want it on the tennis court, because I work too hard to get out there and feel helpless.

It's too difficult for guys to run as hard as they do over and over again,

It's been a long time since I've felt good on the court. It's just getting tiring, that's all. It never feels good when you're losing often. You know, to have a few good wins and have a good tournament would help me, remind me right now why I'm doing this. But as of right now it's hard to feel that thrilled about it.

It's hard for me to put it in context, ... I can say I enjoy playing there more than anywhere else in the world. When you step on the court there, regardless of how you feel, you always push yourself to get the most.

It's very sticky. It stops and everything else moves, ... It's hard to have confidence. Then when you try a little bit, it's still painful...I was just getting worse. It's not ready.

They were tough, tough conditions out there. It's too hard for me to move in those conditions. I wasn't penetrating and I wasn't reacting very well. It was a difficult day.

I'm going to go home tonight and enjoy myself. But then I'll come back to work tomorrow. I need to work and this is my work. It's what I do. I'm a tennis player, and I'll do it as hard as I can for as long as I can.

I need to work, and this is my work, ... I'm a tennis player, and I'll do it as hard as I can as long as I can, from how I see it right now.

I know it's right up there because this is what you work so hard for,

He's writing checks that you only hope his body can cash. He plays very hard every single point.

If I feel that sharp pain on the court, it's impossible to play. That's what happened in Paris. I couldn't do anything. But normally the pain I live with is just during the cool down, the recovery. I don't mind a little pain in the evening after a hard day's work, to be quite honest, as long as I can go back out there the next day and be fully ready to go.

He can keep his spin, but I'd rather take away his speed ? or make him right-handed. Any one of those things would change the dynamics dramatically. I'd first go speed, (and) then I'd go right-handed; then I'd go spin. On clay it's different. Spin would probably be right up there with the speed. On hard court, I can take the ball early and I didn't have much issue with that, but I did have issue with his ability to use his speed to get a hold of a point; and then he wouldn't let go of it once he had it.
