News and notes from the U.S. Open

Is that… Andre?!?

September

How weird is it to hear Andre Agassi commenting on the Federer-Roddick match? It seems like just yesterday he was here in the draw, not sitting above the court with John McEnroe in the USA Network broadcast booth.

He’s OK. Hard to judge so early, but it’s a heck of a lot better than turning on the TV on Monday night and seeing some man with a very large neck and flaring nostrils talking about how he was going to hurt a similarly puffy man. Apparently, the Ultimate Fite Night or whatever it’s called draws more viewers, so Federer’s fourth-rounder got pushed to another net.

Anyway, when Agassi was shown on the big screen in Ashe he got a standing O, which is how it should be.

    Weird, indeed. Nice standing ovation. How about those constant cutaways to a squirming Connors?
