Farewell to Andrew Agassi

After a lost at the US Open, Andrew Agassi finally left professional tennis. To some, "... some part of you want a better ending..." To me, I want to see him playing at least a few more matches. And he sure can do that, competitively.

Professional sports is everything about testing limits. Why can't the limit be how long someone can keep competing at a professional level? Why someone has to retire at their peak? For some, may be it's time for something else. But for some others, there is just no other choices. Professional means money and it turns to give most of money to just a few top players. The rest, like the waiters and waitresses in Hollywood, dream one day they will be on top. For these "Andrew Agassi"s, since it's down hill from there, so why bother?

Some may argue, this is how professional sport gets where it is today. But I will say, this is because it's not real sports anymore. Remember something called higher, faster, further?
