"The physicality has gone to another dimension": Mike Bryan reminisces on Agassi's 'shotgun' sounding technique but pales in comparison to today's tennis

Mike Bryan spoke about Andre Agassi's shots to compare them to modern tennis.

Tennis legend Mike Bryan, who along with his brother Bob won 16 Grand Slam titles in doubles, gave his opinion on the evolution of tennis in recent years in an interview with the ATP Tennis Radio Podcast.

“The game has gotten so much better so like college tennis is it I mean it looks like pro tennis now. These guys were embarrassing me but yeah it’s watching it now on TV and I watch a lot of Tennis TV just to see and it seems like the game is just sped up. The physicality has gone to another dimension," said Bryan.

"It just seems like they’re moving just like cats to the corners and it’s just the points are a little bit longer and the guys are swinging harder. I remember watching Agassi back in 19 like maybe 88 here and there was no one that hit the ball like him. It sounded like a shotgun the way he hit it. But now everyone’s hitting even that big but bigger and it looks like super tennis," added Bryan about former world No. 1 Andre Agassi.

"You just need these flexible bodies that are strong and they all have these like huge teams behind them," Bryan said. "If you don’t have a team working on you, you get injured because it’s just too demanding and to win a Grand Slam is like running a marathon, you know, like seven marathons."

"So that’s one thing where the bodies have to be just as good as the games. You can’t just be a talented player, you gotta work just as hard on your body," Mike Bryan concluded.
