Federer is just too good to beat in 5 sets though, so when Agassi lost that tie-break I don't blame him for giving up. He had already played his best game and since he didn't get the third set there was just NO chance of winning that match.

Agassi is still one of the greatest players ever in my opinion, and like someone said Federer could become THE biggest name in tennis history - he has 7-8 years left in the top ten if he continues to play well.
