"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.
