As much as Agassi seemed to have a bad-boy flare on the court early on, it was clear that this guy was a thoughtful player. Below is an excerpt from Inside Tennis
Agassi then spilled the beans on one of the greatest insider tale we’ve ever heard. “Speaking about little ticks that give away serves,” he began, innocently enough, “I always felt Boris [Becker] had one of those that helped me…that gave away his tendencies. He had this habit, when he would go into his rocking motion, he would toss the ball and his tongue would either stay in the center of his lips if he was serving up the middle of the deuce court, or he would actually slide it to the side of his mouth if he was serving wide.”
“You’ve got to be making this up,” responded a stunned McEnroe.
“You can’t make that up,” Andre replied. “Get the tape. [And the USA Network promptly did so.] Boris would go into press conferences after our matches and say, ‘It’s like this guy reads my mind.’ There was a time when he stopped doing it and a panic set in me…It makes all the difference in the world if you can pick up one or two things. I actually shared that with Boris one night out at Oktoberfest. He said he’d sleep a lot easier knowing that now.”
