Video: Agassi Reveals his Best Match
Grand Slam masterpieces can be created after age 30, says
Andre Agassi
.
The four-time Australian Open champion was 32 years old when he captured his eighth and final major title crushing
Rainer Schuettler
in the 2003 Melbourne final.

The Hall of Famer calls his 6-2, 6-2, 6-1 thrashing of the German probably "the best tennis of my life" in this video interview with
Unscriptd,
Agassi's media project.
It was the most lopsided Australian Open men's singles final since
John Hawkes permitted only five games in the 1926 final.
Agassi said his daily shootouts with a Killer, then coach
Darren "Killer" Cahill
, an ESPN analyst who now coaches
Simona Halep
, helped him turn the final into target practice.
"I couldn't miss anything," Agassi said. "I was playing games with my coach Darren Cahill. He could hold serve randomly against me, no doubt. But I was on a 28-game win streak against my coach for that fortnight.
"It was like I just couldn't miss a ball. To put it together in the finals, the way I did, especially with my coach being an Australian and being in Australia was one of the most satisfying wins I've ever had."
So what's the secret to playing your best tennis while carrying the pressure as a heavy favorite in a major final?
Urgency, says Agassi.
"Tennis is about calculated risk. So the worst thing you can do is try to play better than you have to and as a result you kind of bring your game down a touch just to figure out where your opponent is," Agassi said. "I kept telling myself to have the urgency, have the urgency.... That day against somebody that I was favored against I played probably some of the best tennis of my life."
