"Bit of a chump": Andre Agassi continues war of words with John McEnroe ahead of Pickleball Slam 2
ATPFriday, 08 December 2023 at 03:30
Former world number one and famous
commentator John McEnroe has called legendary Andre Agassi ‘a chum’ in recent
comments.
Both former greats faced each other
in the Pickleball events where they were involved in a bit of exchange of
words. McEnroe, in a recent comment, called Agassi ‘a chump’, something that
will not go down well with the former world number one. "Bit of a chump
from last year," he said.
McEnroe has had a fabulous record while
playing at the highest level. He ended his illustrious career with seven times to
his name. His most successful competition was the US Open where he lifted the
title four times.
His last major title was also the
US Open in 1984 where he defeated Czech Republic’s Ivan Lendl in straight sets
with a score of 6–3, 6–4, 6–1. On the other hand, Agassi ended his career with
eight Grand Slam titles.

- The main difference for bigger names like Alcaraz, Sinner, Zverez, etc. is that they usually make it to the later stages of tournaments while 99% of the other players win a round or two and then move on to the next tournament. The bigger names are playing more, playing longer and therefore more injury issues. The money is great but it all comes with a price!DaveyWavey03-09-2026
