Andre Agassi's Tennis Hack  

Huh... _dedication?_ More like "if I can juuust not let anyone else know this about Boris then I can keep this MASSIVE advantage"! Not revealing that little nugget of pure gold was the easiest thing he ever did

@@donarthiazi2443 Gotta give Agassi credit. Nobody else knew this but him. And everyone else had the same data.

@@daveinpublic Well yeah, of course we gotta give him credit??? Agassi or his coach or whoever the person was that brought it to his attention deserves tons of credit.

​@@donarthiazi2443 dude literally says in the video not letting him know about it was hard.

@@Tuosma He meant not letting him know as in _"I hope Boris doesn't figure out how I have this advantage"._ Not keeping his mouth shut about it, because there was nothing that was easier than that.

I remember the tongue sticking out, but never payed much attention to where.

Back in the day there was no HD TV so you couldn't see that kind of detail live while watching. I saw Agassi & Becker up close in the late 80s. Becker's server was 10x more impressive in person. His kick serve was over Andre's head.

More importantly his coach. I am amazed Andre could see his tongue.

his coach should have caught it too

Well fans and commentors didn't have to play against him so they didn't analise him to that detail. After all myb someone noticed but how would you know? Anyways this is 200Iq from agassi. Perfect opponent scourting. Just can't get any better than this 😂

1000th like on ur comment 😁

@@thewizard6092 Me too please😂

@@mr.nolife1601 Mr. NoLife.. if that name doesn't get you places I don't know what will.. You're hired! 🤣

@@thewizard6092 Much appreciated, I'm sure I'll make my talents known in the near future

No one's ever offered me a job. Hire me for this reason only

And even with that, Boris Becker still won a lot of games against him. Perhaps without the tell, Andre would’ve never beaten boris

it happens even in other sports. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DcoB3G2Gj7w.html its the game within the game

Boris has fallen off badly because of it

he is still his own worst enemy though... that's how he ended up in prison after all.

@@toziassmitt No he didn't, he beat him only when agassi joined the tour, after that 5 years in a row agassi beat him.

That is so sweet❤

Awwwww

its doubly sweet that I saw this post on a video about two rivals.

I’m the same way lol

Haha she told you about that one because she had already replaced it! 😝 Yea after spending more time with you she figured out another bigger better tick you have... 🧐🤔🧐😝 🤣

🧢

My absolute favorite player of all time.

Agreed. When he won Wimbledon, I was ecstatic. Just loved the skill and attitude akin to McEnroe

It’s a million times better than Pete’s book haha

@@AM-ds1un The only other tennis book I have is McEnroe's and I gave up after a few pages! I loved the way Agassi's started, with his description of this battered and bruised old man getting out of bed, barely able to stand, and then he says that this hopeless cripple has to go and play in the final of the US Open! And how it was his father who loved tennis, and all through his career he hated it! And the stuff about his hair! And his descent into drugs and his climb back up! Yeah, it was a great book, and a great story told well.

Me too. Classic tennis.

Me too

People can't make out in tv cuz the resolution was low, 😂😂

@@migmadorji9763 the RU-vid rips are shit. But it looked fine honestly. At least it was at 60hz

And Wilander

Michael Chang???

Wasn’t McEnroe a generation before this.

Some of the most legendary names in tennis... Don't forget Bjorn Borg

​@duaneaikins4621 I think there was some overlap there. I think he was towards the end of his career as the others were beginning.

This was my first exact thought too!

Exactly my thoughts

Why write he's in jail after his widely publicised release?

@Andy Gadd I didn't ask you for your nonsensical reply.

For the horrific crime of trying to keep his hard earned money.

@@Selfloathingmisanthrope Oh good grief. That's not it at all. You're delusional if you believe that.

@@Selfloathingmisanthrope sleeping around, cheating in married life and then making false deals .. cheating the banks.

It's called playing Little League baseball! American kids know how to pick up on tells of pitchers, and a serve is exactly like pitching.

Doing that is a skill, lol.

If talent is close, the difference between good and great is about 4 inches. Right between the ears.

Didn't Agassi grow up in Vegas? Probably learned how to read faces early on....for recreational purposes, of course.

underrated comment

This made my day. Gotta love a boss with hella televised attacks.

@@kanalbenenner7830 Sounds like someone got his cheeks clapped by a Dark Souls boss. Which one? ah, doesnt matter. Just need to get gud.

Dirty?! It wasn’t his “tell”! 😊

Its just like playing cards, he saw his tell…i think thats great

Study your opponents. Like watching tape of another team before game day. That's being smart.

Video game bosses have tells like real life opponents would be the more accurate sentence

Say what you will, but Boris is one of the greatest of all time.

@@bladeorade12 video gane bosses have way more obvious tells, such as this one

Literally nobody would tell him it's not psychopathic in the least

Yeah, poor guy, he should'd told him so both could improve in their athletic performance

​@@AgustinBernardofuck that, those guys are playing for bank 🤣🤣

😂😂😂

​@@AgustinBernardo no because they would play each other again after this match

He probably watched him play on recordings to look for a weakness, like in every sport.

@@Phooenixification Absolutely he did, but when he came to play him, that's what he was doing.

not very many neurotypical people have the skill.

The amphetamines he was using allowed him to spot that shit out

can you tell me what the 2 boys crouching at the side of the net were doing?

Lol. What did you expect him to do? Share that precious mystery with him before he played matches against him😂😂😂

Tennis so competitive, why would you reveal you secrets...

Of course. They played at the same time. Why would he give his advantage away?

Aiden stallings letting us all know he has never played sport at a competitive level.

@@AB-gb6zz pretty sure he just thought it was funny, why did everyone in the comments get offended?

If so you should look at tipping pitches in baseball. Knowing what type of pitch will be thrown is one of the biggest advantages you can possibly get, it’s like a cheat code.

Me too😊 And though I am german I never was a fan of Boris.

​@@Ryan-cb1ei that's exactly what this reminded me of

No way he seen all that from his distance 😂😂😂 he just watch the replay later and noticed it, then came up with this bs story💯

Wonder if Michael stich new. Punched way above his weight

Sounds like bullshit

@@Ruaraidhelite comment 😂

No, actually that's common sense.

@@Knell000 if he would’ve told him after that game then the next time they played each other. It wouldn’t be so easy

@@Knell000 but its still common sense IF you are going to tell, to do it after he retires. its a competition

@@Knell000 mannn ur dummmmmb as helll

Dude’s coach(es) should’ve either picked up on the tell or picked up on someone predicting his serves with regularity. Cant blame an opponent for keeping a secret like that from the guy 😂

It’s literally the key to every thing.

That's some Sherlocke Holmes shit.

One of my favorites is "the world is made of mirrors." I've been using reflections to my advantage most of my life.

..Chicken Dinner

All that hair Andre. So sad

This exact point 👆

Similar to baseball when a batter catches a pitchers tipping his pitches. I enjoy a good dual in baseball between the pitcher and batter.

@@colts574you HEAVY on this.. nothing quite like it.. it’s a battle

With humans it's so often the mouth, maybe if we had bigger canines we'd hold less stress there

Killer instinct. Not everyone has it.

Dweezil: Feel yah!

🤣

😂😂😂tf

Lmao!!!!

Bruh Lmaooo that shit was so soooo funny 🤣

That’s what was thinking

I read a book about sport once and they said that elite baseball batters don't have faster reaction times than regular people but much better eyesight. So they can see really minute twitches and changes in the movement of the pitchers arm and fingers and know much sooner where the ball is headed. Only milliseconds but that's enough to become elite. I wouldn't be surprised if elite tennis players are similar.

My thoughts exactly ❤

​@@ArrKayLondon Yep, and more than that it's _"mindspeed"._ All athletes know, on some level that not one of them are fast enough. No human can hit a fastball that takes a fraction of a fraction of a second to get past him if the batter had to rely purely on batspeed. But elite hitters like Tony Gwen could see the tiniest shift of the second baseman or outfielder or some different movement from the pitcher as he's preparing his pitch or as you stated a dozen minute subtleties that Tony would unconsciously see, and calculate, and prepare for, with a preternatural ability(mindspeed) that he honed over decades.

@@ArrKayLondonwell that book was wrong. Changes in the pitchers movement is called tipping your pitches and elite pitchers rarely if ever tip their pitches. A batter judges the spin of the ball and speed at release to determine where it’s going.

good sportsmanship would have been to tell him after the match.. not after he retires

​@@ERhymesDye this is just rubbing salt on the wound

A good sportsman would want a fair fight, even if they have the advantage

​@@dtack9249 how?

@@ERhymesDBullshit! You are the master of your body! If you have a tell then that is on YOU not your opponent! Agassi used everything available to him including his powers of observation and perception.

well agassi is the only one to figure it out so it wasn’t too damaging 🤷‍♀️

How did his coach not see this ???

@@PaulJacobs1970 Becker probably fired him. 😝

The serve is awesome. But because Few people guessed that everything was ok. In addition, rarely does anyone pay attention to such “habits” of a player.

What's his coach going to do about it 😂😂 cut it off?

Man those Sat and Sundays watching the slams Martina,Stephi,Sabatini, Boris, Ivan, Andre, Chang!! Those were the good old 80s and some part of the 90s.

its almost like you still can watch them in their prime

Watching a tennis match is privileged? Priorities

​@Mountain Man that's what I was thinking, I've never heard of any of these people and I feel like if you seen one tennis match you've seen them all. Maybe once in a blue moon, someone will do something interesting like break a racket or fight but then they get penalized for it it's like they don't want tennis to be entertaining.

@@MrChancebanditprivileged in the vein that people who were born after or were too young to see them play live are not privileged.

I had the exact same thought! His pupils would dilate, there'd be complete silence, and Andre would miss the next serve. *ball echoes as it hits the ground* ----- OST/next episode

The 15min internal monologue is spot on. Be ause the episode lasts about 20-25mins. Then by the next episode right when he conclude his internal monologue we get a flash back of all the times he thought enemy read his mind. And then back to the present when he finally decided that hes going to use the knowledge of him knowing the enemy knowing against them, and the episode ends there. By the next episode we see another flash back of all the times his friends and family were disappointed ted in him for losing games, and those that never gave up on him, and the match finally resumes

Reminds me of baby steps

I used to hate this about DBZ. Half the episodes would be dialogue, and only about 30 seconds of the episode would be fighting.

Anime is low culture trash

He’s also just a decent person. I see him every ski season (they have a house at the ski resort nearby) and he’s just an all around fun guy. Some of the stories he’s told on the lift are wild

And he played in a WIG for years poor guy!!

after beating Rafter in 5 sets he still pushed peak Federer in 4 sets. Agassi was heavy round and tired and at 35 was able to almost take it to 5 sets if he didnt have such a short break after the Rafter match which finished late, he only had 12 hours rest to the final due to rain interruptions in the second week. Agassi was Djokovic but with more wits and less foot speed as he could read anyone like a book. Chang had similar abilities but Agassi at a higher level and more efficient stroke more like connors.

Let's say a little more than that. The guy had one of, if not the best return of serves in history, not to mention a wicked forehand and backhand. His only weakness was the actually serve, but even that was better than avg. He was an extremely gifted player.

He was my favorite. When he retired, I stopped watching.

Yes, thats what I was thinking. Mad vision.

I really doubt Agassi was wearing contact lenses back then. That's natural eyesight right there. I suppose when millions of dollars are on the line, your eyes find a way!

Right?! Damn, the fact he sees the guys tongue,figures out which way it means, and has time to react to it!

Yep. I can't see that far.
