Agassi Chang classic match highlights 1991 at&t challenge.Cool rare video. notice the racket he's using, some say it was a prototype ultimate pro, hard to tell
I think he was at his most confident at this match, his seems to be toying with chang. and giving a show for the fans . this was why Agassi was such a big draw. showmanship!
I was at this tournaments final when Agassi beat Pete Sampras in straight sets. I was amazed how Agassi hit the ball so early, Pete didn’t have a chance.
Lucky you. It's a shame that he did not put his whole heart into tennis as other great players have. Not many players can say their backhand is just as good as their forehand. I felt like after he shaved his hair and went bald is when he recreated his career.
ZERO wasted motion when Agassi hit his prime in the mid 90s. I still think its the best two hander in tennis history. Lets see Joker or anybody else in todays game, consistently hit backhands as well, using gut strings.
@@gibbleway Watch Agassi vs Sampras in the 95 Australian Open final, or their semifinal match at the same tournament in 2000. Another gem is the 2005 US Open quarterfinal with Andre playing James Blake. An absolutely INCREDIBLE ball striking match for both players at their best.
@@chocolatetownforever7537 I did start following around the time of this last example and remember how robotic agassi was with big shots at the end of his years. Ill check out the wimbledon 95
Um....that's NOT an Ultimate Pro, it's not hard to tell at all...at 5:47 Agassi is holding the racquet up before serving, and one can clearly see the thin beam. The Ultimate Pro was a 30mm widebody....HUGE cross-section. Agassi actually did use an Ultimate Pro at the 1990 AT&T challenge however. He discontinued in the first round of the French Open immediately after the AT&T...
Tactical Tennis Tips yes. Just saw your quesion now lol. Yes on vhs tape I have FO 1990 matches against courier and Gomez. Maybe some of Swenson. Agassi wasn’t using the Widebody then. He only used it until the first round for half the match against wostenholme before smashing a couple of them and switching mid match to the pro one. Yes I do have him playing with the massive widebody at at and t challenge - against Mayotte, Scott Davis... and Jaime yzaga! One day I’ll have to digitize the video of the tapes haven’t turned to dust. It was interesting bc Agassi was loving the extra power in those matches. Even though he ultimately could not seem to control it at the French, he blasted through those matches and at times seemed to swing as hard as he could enjoying the new power. The commentators compared it to a kid with a new toy and even Agassi and his opponents were laughing at times as Agassi tried to DESTROY the ball at times when he got way ahead in the match.
All of Agassi’s slam finals were with the Donnay Pro One. The fo in 90 and 91. The uso in 90. Even though he switched for the money he actually never played a slam final with the graphite.
@@ciaronsmith4995 He was saying that he looked heavy metal here.... calm down. "The Decline of Western Civilization, Part II" was a heavy metal documentary.
true, Chang was not a big server here - but over time Chang did muscle up and improve his serve and develop the ability to hit more heavy groundstrokes. I think of a US Open match towards the end of McEnroe's career where Chang knocked him out and Chang's serving was stellar, including a few clutch aces ... Look at Chang v. Rios US Open 1997 (on RUclips) - probably the heyday of Chang's career top see him in more dominant form.

Arab? No. Iran is not an Arab country. Agassi has Persian/Assyrian roots from Iran. You do well to remember the Persians have a great civilization unlike Asians and Arabs.
@@ciaronsmith4995 Agassi is of armenian and assyrian heritage not persian.His father lived in Iran and competed in professionell boxing in the Olympics for Iran 1948 & 1952.
Derek Daniels: i admire your enthusiasm and agree Agassi was something special. however, you must be young to think he was the GOAT of tennis in the 80s and 90s... brush up on your history. a good place to start would be to see who won the majors during the 80s and 90s, i think.
Never seen a more unflattering pic of Andre, as he looks in this screenshot lol. Not saying hes fat, but he looks more bloated than any photo ive seen of him.
Chang's ground strokes has no depth nor pace, even in the end looking back his career he's a very good player but still not a great player. nothing can take away his accomplishments but honestly if he play nowadays he won't make into top ten by his play. but nevertheless he's a fighter.
Chang - the legend . Always in Reebok, appreciate
two of my favorite tennis players, I love their shoe lines too Reebok vs Nike
He's why i started with Tennis when i was 9 years old!!! Love him to death ;) one of the Best at this sport!!!
Both great players but Agassi had the flare that set him apart from the rest of the field at this time . Great ground strikers were rare
I know, Chang was the best
Been looking for decent footage of this match for ages.... thanks for the upload!
I think he was at his most confident at this match, his seems to be toying with chang.
and giving a show for the fans . this was why Agassi was such a big draw. showmanship!
Tactical Tennis Tips One of the best that ever did it. Of course, growing up in Las Vegas it always came easy for Andre.
true
This was the golden era of tennis
Well, the beginning of
Agassi had the best wigs ever, roll on Murray V Federer today. C'mon Andy.....
The AT&T challenge was originally an indoor tournament from about 86 I think. Became an atp tour tournament in 92!
I was at this tournaments final when Agassi beat Pete Sampras in straight sets. I was amazed how Agassi hit the ball so early, Pete didn’t have a chance.

I saw Agassi get frustrated and melt down against Pete I think the year before in Philly. Andre didn't have a chance.
When tennis was still a fun sport to watch! Mainly thanks to Agassi.
C'era una volta il tennis. Once apont a time, a long long time ago, there were the tennis !
at least we have You Tube to enjoy vintage matches - where the play was varied and the athletes colorful ...
i feel the same
That backhand of his is impeccable. You thought Nadal's was good, or djoks. Agassi and Fognini for most crisp
I agree the sound is even a bit different and consistently so too.Both have tiny backswings too but generate insane power.
ZERO wasted motion when Agassi hit his prime in the mid 90s. I still think its the best two hander in tennis history. Lets see Joker or anybody else in todays game, consistently hit backhands as well, using gut strings.
@@chocolatetownforever7537 I made that comment probably on discovery of his, but would like to see his best 'prime' matches if any cone to mind

datacipher do you have any French open 1990 video,or 1990 at&t chall?
I had an Ultimate Pro... The racket had an issue..so many frames cracked and Donnay had to recall so many!

他們倆青少年時期就一直是競爭對手，互相抵厲，一起成長……令人稱羨
cool vid... i dont remember andre playing donnay. i was playing a prince graphite 90 in 90-91.
All of Agassi’s slam finals were with the Donnay Pro One. The fo in 90 and 91. The uso in 90. Even though he switched for the money he actually never played a slam final with the graphite.
This was the year he lost to Courier in the French Open final . What a slugfest that was
In Andre's prime He was the master of baseline all time
he is the master of time.
Yeah. Original boss of the baseline.
Agassi had more power and was a cleaner hitter than Chang. Both moved extremely well.
Image is everything!!!
You think he should have kept the Wig?
Still remember it
yes your right, chang was very accomplished , thx for your comment
OK André bur I am looking for the moment Jimmy... After I promess, believe me I look at you.... Peter in Paris. God bless you. With Steffi!
Andre should have been in "The Decline of Western Civilization, Part II".
Shut up. Agassi was the ultimate tennis player. And the sampras vs Agassi rivalry was awesome had a nice little Greek vs Persian element to it anyhow.
@@ciaronsmith4995 He was saying that he looked heavy metal here.... calm down. "The Decline of Western Civilization, Part II" was a heavy metal documentary.
I miss Agassi's long hair.
It's crazy how it's so slow back then. They slow the courts now by changing the ground composition but it's still way faster than this.
Go Agassi!
Chang had a hell of a game but not much of a serve... too easy for a great returner like Agassi to jump all over.
+halleck3 fact is agassi jumped all over every ones serve. ha
He did, true that. Chang's was especially susceptible, though. Tactical Tennis Tips

Chang improves his serve a lot during the mid 90s. During US 95 and 96 he had many serves over 120mph
@@nizzam1 Yes, it got a lot better. Props to he and his coach for working that out.

Too much firepower from Andre.
was Andre's hair real here, or he had already started wearing the wig at this point?
I think he went for the darker model on this night.
was this the match where Chang aced Agassi with a 50 mph serve and Andre made some comment about it?? lol
Lol
boy a match between an asian and an arab origins

What a tennis court?
Aggassi was the Micheal Jordan of tennis in the 80s an 90s dude was the GOAT

Pete Sampras was Michael Jordan of tennis in the 90s. Agassi had not won a grand slam in 80s.
The kid n. 1
was this the beginnin of hard hittin tennis? well not as hard as todays but still hard
Mm
NIKE VS REEBOK
Never seen a more unflattering pic of Andre, as he looks in this screenshot lol.
Not saying hes fat, but he looks more bloated than any photo ive seen of him.
Heshe mangirl
This video is so biased, no footage of winners or won points at all from Chang? There were 2 people playing this game...
Daniel Park Hahahaa
Dude- I could tell it was a farce after watching it for 2 minutes- (and turned it off).
Daniel Park who wants see Chang moonballing?
because chang didnt win many
Well to be fair Chang is a pusher, there probably really wasn't any winners to show.
5 11 lol never
siempre creí que Chang tenía brazos de nena, es increhíble hasta yo golpeo mas duro la bola :/

Chang would get beat by NCAA players in the 2020s
Lord have mercy, idol worship totally blinded everyone to the horrible looking wig.
They're nothing compared to the fedalkovic era
Yet none of them has won the seven great titles in tennis like Agassi :)
Watching tennis today, it almost looks like they were both playing with wooden rackets. The big 3 would have made both look like amateurs.
Get real, Agassi actually played those guys at the end of his career. He was a fit fighter.
Chang only helps asian players now.......some american
Sampras.
