"Björn Borg and Guillermo Vilas ruined a generation of players. Today, there are no more attacking players capable of softening the ball. Andre Agassi was the evolution of this tennis. He invented a new way of playing, the first baseliner. Today you find brutes wielding the racket. Tennis is something else. I watch Federer. He plays too well. He's deluded, he wants to beat that beast Nadal by playing good tennis. Impossible."
