Federer dominates tennis again in 2005 (AP) Updated: 2005-12-20 11:33
But at his 20th U.S. Open, the sport's best showman won three straight
five-setters to become the oldest finalist in 31 years. Then Agassi passed
Federer to lead by one break in the third set, and grasp at an upset. But the
Swiss magician rallied and cruised to victory in four sets.
After battles with Pete Sampras, McEnroe, Jimmy Connors, Ivan Lendl and the
like, Agassi had the grace to say of Federer: "He's the best I've ever played
against."
