He is incredibly gifted," says Agassi about Tien
Learner Tien recently made headlines by reaching the final of the ATP 500 in Beijing, ultimately defeated by Jannik Sinner.
For Tennis One, Andre Agassi spoke about the young player and was very complimentary. He states: "He has learned the game phenomenally. He is incredibly gifted, not only in his play but also in his mindset.
He has to overcome some physical limitations compared to other players, in terms of height and strength, but he is still very young. When I really look at him from the perspective of his game, he is one of the few players where I think to myself: 'I don't know how I could help him improve, he already does everything perfectly.'
