"Andre Agassi's 53, not much older than 36-year-old Djokovic" as Monica Puig and Jon Wertheim marvel at legend's training footage

Former Puerto Rican tennis player Monica Puig and analyst
Jon Wertheim have discussed the possible return of the former world
number one Andre Agassi after seeing him train.
The 53-year-old retired from the sport in 2006 after playing
at the highest level for a long period of time. Agassi has spent a lot of time training
in the past, especially to play in events such as Pickleball.
Puig and Wertheim were recently quoted in a report where
they discussed whether Agassi could return to playing at the highest level,
after all the difference in age between him and Serbia’s Novak Djokovic is not
that much.
"I'm trying to figure out what kind of court he's
playing on. But no, Agassi has talked a lot about how pickleball got him in
shape," said Wertheim. "I mean, he looks great... the hand-eye
[coordination] that we have known about for decades, he's 53 years old! That's
not much older than the 36-year-old (Novak Djokovic) who is at the top of the
ranking. We haven't seen this for a very long time, so it's nice to see from
Andre.
"Blistering backhands, the only backhand I would want
to have, past, present, or future. Looks like he wants to take the cover right
off the ball. I mean, come on, come back like you said?!" said Puig.
