    Agassi, on his autobiography Open, describing this match: ''I go to Montreal and scratch and claw my way to the final against a Spanish kid everyone is talking about. Rafael Nadal. I can't beat him. I can't fathom him. I've never seen anyone move like that on a tennis court''.

      Agassi spoke the truth about that particular day. I was amazed at more than a few returns from Nadal. He never gives up. He still keeps fighting. It isn't over, until Nadal says it's over.

    It's like you're watching an old tennis classic and then realizing "oh yeah Nadal is still playing". The guy has crossed more than 1 generation now, truly unbelievable. Even though Agassi was on his way out (ret. 2006) his ATP rank was 5 at this time in 2005.

    Yeah, no chance you win against that type of defense if it was clay. He was doing that on hard, so there's no chance to hit through him.

    Just the movement was pretty increadable - Agassi still had enough off the ground to challenge Nadal - but needed one more weapon to beat him : a decent volley and the instinct on when to use it . that combo could have beaten rafa on this day
    Increadable match - both gave their all

    Can you tell me why 2005 Montreal, Cincinnati, Indian Wells and Miami Masters final were best of 3 sets, while the remaining 2005 Masters finals like in Monte Carlo, Rome, Hamburg, Paris and Madrid were best of 5 sets? Why were they not kept consistent by the ATP? They could have kept all Masters 1000 finals be played with best of 5 sets that time. What ATP did in 2009 to make all Masters 1000 finals played in best of 3 sets, that was good. But why they followed such inconsistency back in 2005, I don't understand it.
