Man, I am happy and pissed at the same time as I TIVOed the quarterfinal with agassi and blake tonight. watched the first four amazing sets go 3-6, 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 and then at 2-1 in the 5th, THE GODDDAM network has some stupid "contractual obligation" and they cut transmission!!!!
For the love of god.....this was definately an epic US Open 5 setter and I missed the very best part. Of course the 5th set traded breaks and then went to a tiebreaker. Each player had match points in their favor!!! but of course Agassi prevailed and I'm still excited for him to make go all the way at 35 years old. I think most every audience member would have been equally happy had either player won though....so much respect for both athletes!
I'm a huge agassi fan as I have been since I saw him win wimbledon at age 22 when I was 12. But i have to say that James Blake was playing some of the best most aggressive tennis I have ever seen in the first two sets!
i'm still fuming about the coverage though....i recorded 90 minutes past when it should have ended but I guess TIVO can't do anything about cutting broadcast for Law and Order to come on......arg!!!
anyone else see the 5th set??
