Jensen's Take

NEW YORK -- I thought last year's U.S. Open quarterfinals meeting would be the last big-time match we'd see from Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi -- on such a big stage at such a high level with so much at stake.

No matter what, Pete Sampras' record at the U.S. Open is phenomenal. This court suits his game even better than grass. Still, this is a tremendous accomplishment.

His serve was at such a high clip, at such tremendous velocity, at such precise accuracy -- whenever he needed a serve he had it. Whenever he was in trouble, there was always some big bomb that Agassi could not pick up.

If Agassi would have won the fourth set, he had enough gas to run over Sampras, who was clearly on empty. And fortunately when Sampras needed a weapon to save him, his serve pulled it home when there was nothing left in the tank. It was all serve, all day and all night. Thirty-three aces from Sampras and 84 winners compared to Agassi's 27 winners. Agassi didn't have enough assets to win Sunday. If you can't get back the serve, you'd better put some "O" into your game.

How perfect this Open was: from the tribute on the first Monday night to having Old Glory from Ground Zero flying every day and night to having two finals where four Americans -- four legends of the game -- battle for the title.

The chants of "USA, USA" ringing out through the tournament and seeing the tattered parts of the flag flying overhead is a lasting memory.
