L...I, like you, was glued to the TV back then also! LOL! Loved the steel personality of Borg against the emotional personalities of Connors and McEnroe. Sampras was the best for me though. Those aces! Dear God!! <br /><br />Agassi's book does sound familiar. Everyone's journey might be different, yet the goals seem to be the same. Hm...maybe I'll pick up the book....rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248554235709475320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631743289338271241.post-37488085645018427882010-03-03T23:14:19.775-05:002010-03-03T23:14:19.775-05:00monkey man--those were the days-hours long epic ba...monkey man--those were the days-hours long epic battles--the equipment has changed the game...C.M.
