That US Open was my first live experience, I was there when Agassi played his last match against Benjamin Becker. He was taking injections into his back for the pain between each match. I also remember Baghdatis cramping like crazy during his match but soldiering on anyways.
Those sure we're the good old days. Roger was at his absolute peak, Rafa was a muscle-bound teenager in pirate clothes, TV was mostly not HD still, and people were reading tennis news in newspapers on the subway. Based on how things have gone since, I fully expect to be watching Fedal highlights on my holoprojector in the year 2032.
