The crowds went crazy for Andre Agassi at his final US Open. This despite the fact that the man looked more like Casper the Friendly Ghost rather than the human tennis dynamo we grew up watching.

But somehow his bald frail body was able to get by two opponents and into the 3rd round. How the old timer was able to get through 5 sets against the number 8 player in the world is beyond me.

But luckily for the gift of cortisone shots in his back we were able to see this legend compete one final time. And while his opponents actually looked human, Agassi certainly played like he was alive.

The man has ended his career at the ripe old age of 36. 21 years of tennis, it was so long ago that we saw him as a teenager with wild long hair, then with less hair and a goatee, and finally ending with an alien like pale bald look. I'd like to remember the champ looking more alive however.
