Invited on Andy Roddick's podcast, Agassi revealed some insights about the Roland-Garros legend, Rafael Nadal. The former champion shared a never-before-told story from the time when the Spaniard was just 17 years old:

"I was at Roland-Garros. I don’t remember which year. There was this 17-year-old kid, and I remember that in the locker room, his locker was jammed. He was trying his code, and I thought to myself: he’s a beginner, he doesn’t know, he’s trying to figure it out. Then I heard him grunt and try again.

Then he started hitting the locker. I wondered if this guy was serious. And then, at some point, it opened, and I heard him yell 'vamos.' He was in some kind of war with the locker, and he was winning. That’s when I thought to myself, I can’t beat this guy.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?
