motherjones: siphotos: Andre Agassi fires a forehand during the 1991 French Open final against Jim Courier. Despite a great effort, Agassi lost in five sets.

That was a horribly painful match to watch.  Agassi had it - he shoulda won it - but he was so cocky he ‘forgot’ that champions play one-point-at-a-time, and he blew it.  He was not a champion at the time, though, but later went on to become one of the greatest champions in history.  He learned crushing, valuable lessons from this match.   (At least I’m pretty sure this is the match where he did that…in another French Open match he was terrified his hair weave/wig would blow off, so he wouldn’t move around the court like he should have.  But I don’t think that one went 5 sets.)  ~whyinthehell View high resolution
