At elite level, every move you perfected will be scrutinized under microscope. Countermeasures will be devised and repeatedly drilled into perfection. This is extraordinary that Agassi would purposefully concede points to keep a secret.

Agassi is a shining example of why you should be empathic and supportive of even the most dumbass twenty year old men because eventually they become a credit to society, and they'll remember who was kind and who wasn't

I don't believe him.

Would be great to know if Boris Becker was aware his tongue moved along with the serve he had in mind?

Agassi's book called Open is probably the best book that you'll ever read about tennis. His father was borderline abusive to him growing up, forcing him to play tennis every day for hours. That's why Agassi has often said that he hates tennis, despite all of his success. Really eye-opening.

Agassi, McEnroe, and Connors were my three favorite tennis players growing up. I have a lot of respect for the greatness of Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic, but I LOVED tennis back in the 1980s and 1990s because Agassi, McEnroe, and Connors were just rock stars.

That’s exactly what the Brits did to the Germans in World War II. Not letting them know that they had broken enigma. They had to let some attacks go through so the Germans wouldn’t think something was up.

Image... Is everything.

The real lesson here is that actually Boris deep down knew something was up and that he felt Agassi was reading his mind. But, didn't listen to his gut and dig deeper into what was going on!

One if the greatest stories, told by one of the greatest tennis players, and men of my generation.

Still one of my favorite players ever, Andre Agassi. Thanks for sharing; loved your book as well

I wonder how he would have done pitching in baseball its skill yes but its reading the batter and base runners keeping a straight face and choosing a pitch or pickoff that would be best for the situation

LMAO 😂 of course the guy from Vegas spots the tell! Priceless!

Agassi Tennis Hack??? Apparently this poster knows nothing about tennis and has probably never held a tennis ball a day in his life.😅

Habits make you or destroy you

Any proof to back this up. I'm not gonna search clips of Becker serving. Cool if true

The game misses you

I trained and played with Andre back in 1985 when we were both elite protégés of Nick Bolletieri. He didn’t have the game he acquired later on as I even beat him back then. Nick said I had the hardest forehand he’d ever seen and Andre I’m sure learned a lot from how I hit that ball but I’m totally in awe that he became such a tennis legend and I’m so damn proud of him and what he achieved. Trust me when I say he worked for it and deserved every accolade. A great champion for tennis. Ps: I beat Becker too…oh, my glory days! Enjoy! Carpe diem

all i wish is to turn back the time. beautiful years!

I wonder if Steffi can read his

this is not a "hack"; it is a "tell"!

Smart eastern brain. Armenian.

Znači empatija

my idol while growing up playing tennis, i changed my back hand coz of him. i was kinda lucky that the time i was starting to play tennis at 5 years old he burst into the tennis scene, i was trained with a one hand back hand but for a very small 5yo boy i can't really control the ball with a 1hand BH, then i saw him.

There is no way that he could have seen that from the other side of the court.

...I'm not impressed ...this guy was on steroids...he could have looked better with nice blonde hair....

I want a rival that makes me chuckle like 2:32 🤣 cool story… master class!

Agassi was a twat, older Agassi with shaved head and wearing white to wimbledon was a genuis.

If only Edberg had come to know this secret!

As a tennis player myself I lost interest in watching matches after Agassi retired.

Learned his environment in Las Vegas.

Super jerk era.

So Becker was tipping his serves, I had only heard of pitchers doing that in baseball, interesting.

Body Language,,, reading his tongue 😝

Still had to return the serve, Andre. No one did it better.

I 'get' his mindset about Pete, I am not a big fan of Sampras..Robert at 67.

What a cool story. These two guys (and a few others...) brought tennis to a level that made our family rush to the best seat of the couch. We knew there would be suspense, fun and passion. It was like going to the movies. For about 10 years, this dream team shot tennis to the clouds and brought kids and seniors together around the world. It wasnt just a game for us. It was a family affair. These were the golden years of tennis and I am happy I was a part of...even from the couch.

Fascinating. Now we know….

This Video is hilarious. I had no idea that tennis could be like poker.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Lol. That's funny. And it makes sense to not break his serve at will. Because if he were to show that every time Becker serves, that he could return every single one, Becker might actually investigate himself to see what was going on. If he discovered it, he'd then throw Agassi for a loop. Because he'd probably use that against Agassi. Funny that Roddick mentioned something similar with Federer. Federer would use the distinctive aspect of his serve to sneak some aces past him. When Roddick finally countered, he mentioned that Federer gave him that look that says, "Oh. So you now know." Lol

Wow, he is smart one!!!! Cute now I have to say. A real man !!

The best of all time

I met Andre once. He was an incredibly friendly, personable, down to earth guy.

It's funny story but of course false. It is not possible to see the mouth of another player from that distance, try.

not been of nation is for me seeminly a better way, to walk though not always ajet for me

Game Theory at its best.
