Could this be the best match I have ever seen? Yes, as far as I can remember. I did not see the Federer/Safin match at this year’s Australian Open, but I have not seen more exciting, fast-paced tennis since a long long time.

As I talked about it earlier, this game had a promise of being good, because Blake has been playing flawlessly in the past few weeks. And Agassi has meticulously taken out youngsters in his path.

And what a start it was for Blake. Quick breaks in both sets gave him a 2-0 set lead. Even in the third, Agassi looked clueless and then, out of nowhere, he started getting his rhythm back. He started hitting more balls back, and started getting the corners and the lines. Blake seemed to doubt himself for just that little bit, which gave Agassi the third set.

The fourth set was relatively easier to win for Agassi. But again, Blake was not out. As he showed in the final set after a few breaks were exchanged. He was serving for the match at 5-3, and was broken.

The tie break was also see-saw with mini breaks exchanged multiple times. In the end, it was a fantastic performance from both players that created an exciting match to watch for everyone in the stadium, and everyone at home.

Thank goodness I have cable, because dish network shows the Eastern feed of usa network and usa network had to cut off at about 12.35am Eastern time and they switched to CBS, but on the west coast, it was still on usa network. So if I had dish network, I would not have been able to watch the most exciting part of the match!
