So Agassi tactically then is a polar opposite to Federer, baseline genius.

How do you play Agassi?

It's amazing.

I'd say I could name everyone in the top 50 that time, and like a Rolodex, you'd have a little mini Sparknotes version of good shots, bad shots, how to play them.

Talk to me about one of these, whoever you want, whoever's interesting to you.

You're playing either Leighton Hewitt, Goran Ivanovic, Boris Becker, or Andy Roddick.

Give me your tactics.

Yes.

Oh, I mentioned Roddick, but to be fair, I didn't expect you to go through all of them.

Sure, okay.

Round us off with Roddick then.

Who had the temerity to beat your serve record?

I totally agree.

I mean, I don't listen to his podcast all the time, but you see clips and it's fascinating.

Agassi has done a few stints on co-commentary lately.

Fascinating.

People listen to the way you talk about the game and it's clear how much you think about it.

In your experience, the guys who say make top 10, top 15 in the world, are they all very, very analytical and cerebral about the game when it comes to tactics?

Or are there a few guys in there who are just like, I don't know, man, I just go out and I play it as I feel it.

They say the same about golfers, actually.
