Andre Agassi figuring out a "tell" on Boris Becker
All this talk about sign stealing got me thinking about this story about how Andre Agassi got the upper edge on Boris Becker's serve. It is kind of amazing that he was able to pick up this tell.

Boris, Andre, and Ivan. When tennis was tennis!
October 27th, 2023 at 3:40 PM ^
John, Bjorn and Jimmy weren't bad either.

When USA Men’s tennis was good.
Loved Andre back in the day. Bought every shirt he wore!

Throw in Pete and I'm with you!

Pete was so boring. That's when I gave up on following professional tennis. From then on hardly anyone had any personality, and you could tell almost every successful player (Williams sisters an obvious exception) had been groomed by rich parents and tennis academies and kept away from normal social interaction since the age of 3.

Pete was unemotional and boring, yes, but his tennis game was FAR from boring. He was dominant

Nadal, Ferderer, and Djokovic... they're surpassing previous records and each other along the way.
Give me this group.

Don't forget the guys from Sweden - Edberg and Wilander. That was such a great era with so many good players.
October 27th, 2023 at 3:43 PM ^
Coo shit.
October 27th, 2023 at 3:49 PM ^
Yes. He figured out whenever Boris earned money, he never paid taxes.
October 27th, 2023 at 3:50 PM ^
All right, dang it. Start cancelling 9 of Agassi's victories and replace with asterisks.
We demand fairness!

boom boom becker

I could always tell by the way he ate his Oreos.
October 27th, 2023 at 4:54 PM ^
Pay that man his money!
October 27th, 2023 at 4:20 PM ^
Maybe Dave Brandon wasn't always wrong. We have well passed the "Quit drinking and go to bed" stage

I'm just going to start negging every post that has to do with sign stealing from now on. Especially a post like this that doesn't bring any new information to the actual case at hand. Enough is enough.

Though in this case, it's probably okay that you didn't.

Was it more, or less, obvious..than LeChiffre’s tell?
