Andre Agassi just beat Jeff Blake today. It was a great match that went all the way down to the wire. Good tennis, too. You can tell Agassi is a wily veteran by the way he lured Blake to the net with a soft hit and then blew it by him with the next shot. Awesome. Just awesome.
Just freakin' awesome.
But you know what's not awesome... the way people in the crowd "shh" each other when it gets too noisy. Or do they hire professional shh-ers? I guess it doesn't matter who is doing the shh-ing. It just makes tennis seem so pompous. They gotta kill the shh-ing and let the players play in noisy arenas and maybe even let them trash-talk.
USTA Street. Somebody call EA Sports!
What's with the weird-ass graphics? You know, where they show where the ball hits near the line? Whatever happened to replay footage? The graphics don't tell me anything. I mean, I don't know who's controlling those graphics. Could be anybody, but the announcers are always going "ooh that was close" like they're looking at tape of the actual match. It's too video-gamey these graphics.
On second thought, hang up the phone and don't call EA Sports.
