90 US Open

The biggest upset occurred in the first round. The then world champion Edberg bowed in the first round. The veteran four-time champion John McEnroe regained his glory and entered the semi-finals, which excited all Americans. All Americans hope that John can regain the glory of winning the championship in the US OPen 10 years ago after fighting hard in 5 sets and defeating Borg. But the biggest surprise of this tournament was a 19-year-old boy named Pete Sampras. As the 12th seed, he went all the way and defeated Muster, the fifth seed, 3-1 in the top 16 and reached the quarterfinals. The match ended with 6-4, 7-6 (7-4), 3-6, 4-6, 6-2 in five sets, ending Ivan Lendl’s great record of reaching the finals for eight consecutive years. The semi-finals also won 6-2. , 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 defeated John McEnroe in four sets. Finally, when facing Agassi, the fourth seed and the so-called hope of the United States, in the final, he served 13 aces with an average speed of more than 198 kilometers per hour, and all Fang's performance defeated Agassi, who was full of mistakes, and won in straight games 6-4, 6-3, 6-2. At the age of 19 years and 28 days, he became the youngest men's singles champion in the history of the US Open. It was also the first Grand Slam Gold Cup for Grand Slam king Sampras, and this was the beginning of the Sampras dynasty in the 1990s.

Sampras said a famous quote after the game: "No one will remember who won the championship in Philadelphia, but from today on, I will always be the U.S. Open champion." Interestingly, the last four players that Pete defeated were all once ranked number one in the world. It was also the first time that Sampras and Agassi met in a Grand Slam final, which also started the rivalry between the two in the 1990s.

91 US Open

There were surprises and touching scenes in this year’s competition. Surprisingly, Becker, who was number one in the world at the time, was eliminated in the third round; and the most touching thing was that the former world champion Connors, known as the evergreen tree in tennis, at the age of 39 , but he showed impressive skills and courage. He fought hard for 4 hours and 41 minutes in the top 16 to beat fellow countryman Krickstein 3-2, and then went further to reach the semi-finals of the US Open again. He fought unremittingly until the end of his life. His spirit of strength moved thousands of fans at the scene. Although he lost to the fourth seed Courier 0-3 in the semi-finals, the audience gave him a warmer applause than the winner and gave this man a warm applause. Tennis fighters have the highest respect. On the contrary, defending champion Sampras said he felt relieved after losing to Courier in straight games in the quarterfinals. Connors criticized him as talking nonsense and was also considered to be an immature statement. In addition to Courier entering the finals, second seed Edberg also advanced to the finals by defeating the cold-faced killer Lendl 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 in the quarterfinals. Edberg's performance in the finals was quite good. Well, he was very good at serving, netting and volleying, completely suppressing Courier's offensive, and easily defeated Courier 6-2, 6-4, 6-0, winning his first US Open championship and replacing him in the world rankings. Becker is back in first place.

92 US Open

This year's defense of Edberg's title is recognized as the most difficult title defense in history.

Starting from the fourth round (top 16), he had to go to five sets in three consecutive games before narrowly winning. In the top 16, he won 4-6, 6-7 (6-8), 6-3, 6-3, 6-4. Defeated Dutch slugger Karajisek; the quarter-finals also had a near-miss in the tie-break in the fifth set, 6-3, 6-3, 3-6, 5-7, 7-6 (7-3). Barely repelling Lendl; facing Zhang Depei in the semi-finals was even more difficult and dangerous. This five-set match was the longest in the history of the US Open. It lasted five hours and 26 minutes, breaking Lendl's 3-3 in the fourth round. -2 defeated Becker's record of 5 hours and 1 minute before winning 6-7 (3-7), 7-5, 7-6, (7-3), 5-7, 6-4. It took 13 hours and 43 minutes to finish the three games, and the physical exhaustion was quite shocking; and the opponent in the final was the former champion and third seed Sampras (who had just defeated 6-1, 3-6, 6-2 in the semi-finals , defeated the world champion Courier 6-2 to avenge one stone), and the special Super Saturday format of the US Open was the biggest test for Edberg's physical strength. However, Edberg still relied on his rich skills in the finals. His experience in big scenes and his unique skills of serving and netting allowed him to deal with Sampras. On the other hand, not only did Sampras not have the physical advantage in this final, maybe it was because Sampras’ parents went to see Sampras for the first time. He appeared nervous because of the finals, and made mistakes at critical moments, especially in the third set tie-break when he made a fatal double fault that led to the loss of the key set. His morale was greatly reduced. As a result, Edberg won 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 ( 7-5), 6-2 defeated Sampras in four sets and successfully defended his title, thus maintaining his chance to compete with Courier for the year-end title. Sampras' loss in the final not only taught him a good lesson, it was also one of the few times that Sampras lost in a Grand Slam final, and he did learn this valuable lesson. I can strive for greater excellence in my future tennis career. This final was the first time that Sampras' parents went to watch a game. But they had to wait until Wimbledon in 2000 to see the old Sampras and his wife go watch Sampras play again.

93 US Open

The tennis world produced a new world champion Sampras this year, and Sampras won his personal title at Wimbledon just two months ago. The second Grand Slam was also the beginning of his brilliant Wimbledon dynasty. Courier Courier reached the finals of the first three Grand Slams this year, and successfully defended his title at the Australian Open. Everyone is looking forward to Courier and Sampras competing for the championship and the championship in the finals. At the end of the year, the world champions were ranked first and second seeds (Courier ranked 1st, Sampras ranked 2nd), and Sampras, in addition to facing Zhang Depei in the top 8 in a fierce battle and winning 3-1, They made it to the finals very smoothly; however, Courier lost in the round of 16 to an unknown 15th seeded player - Piolin. The other two defending champions, Edberg, were also eliminated early in the second round. As a result, Piolin unexpectedly reached the finals and competed with Sampras for the championship. In the end, Sampras relied on strong power in the finals. The serve dominated the entire offensive rhythm, and he easily won in straight sets 6-4, 6-4, 6-3, regained the US Open championship, and secured his position as the year-end tennis champion. Piolin also became famous in one battle, but he reached two Grand Slam finals in his career (the other was Wimbledon in 1997) and unfortunately lost against Sampras, and his results in other competitions They are usually good, but they often lose in the finals, which makes their so-called runner-up title disappear suddenly

94 US Open

A superstar in the 1980s, a football player. Lendl, the former world champion who reigned for 270 weeks, attended the US Open for the last time. Lendl had a dazzling record in the US Open. He reached the finals of the US Open for eight consecutive years from 1982 to 1989, and won the US Open three consecutive times from 1985 to 1987. He is one of the greatest champions in the history of the US Open. However, It was regrettable that he withdrew from the competition due to a back injury in the second round of this competition. His retirement symbolized that the tennis superstars throughout the 1980s had completely withdrawn from the tennis world, and the generational change had been completed. The current world champion Sampras swept the ATP Tour in 1994 and won the Australian and Wimbledon championships. Taking advantage of the victory, he entered New York, but unexpectedly lost 6-3 in the fourth round. , 3-6, 6-4, 6-7 (4-7), 5-7, lost to the unseeded player Yzaga of Peru in five sets, and missed the opportunity to defend the title.

However, the most exciting thing about this tournament is the American hope Agassi's comeback. Since Agassi was crowned Queen at Wimbledon in 1992, he has been quiet for a while due to a wrist injury, and has fallen out of the top 20 in the world rankings. But Agassi started over again after the operation, and was inspired by his new relationship with Brooke Shields. He hired a new coach, Gilbert, and with the cooperation of the two, he started the U.S. Open as a The stage, the road to personal peak. This time Agassi, as a non-seeded player, defeated five seeded players along the way---defeated 12th seed Ferreira 3-0 in the third round; defeated 6-1, 6-7 (3-7) in the top 16 ), 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 defeated the 6th seed Zhang Depei; the top 8 eliminated the 13th seed Muster in three straight games; the top four tied the 9th seed Todd Martin 3-1; and in the final, With a perfect performance, he defeated the fourth seed Stich 6-1, 7-6 (7-5), 7-5 and became the new champion of the US Open. He is the first person to dominate the US Open in 20 or 30 years. Unseeded, the world ranking rose from 20th to 9th after the game. Since then, Agassi has continued to rise with the power of the new US Open champion. The world ranking rushed to second place by the end of the year, and he began to have the ability to threaten Sampras's throne.

US Open 1995

For tennis fans, 1995 was the best year. In the men’s singles, Sampras and Agassi had a comprehensive and evenly matched duel, which made fans It was mesmerizing to watch; in the women's singles, the touching scene of the tennis queen Seles, who was stabbed in 1993, announcing her comeback before the US Open started, made people believe that this season is the season of tennis. The confrontation between Agassi and Sampras has begun at the Australian Open at the beginning of the year. In the Australian Open final, Agassi defeated Sampras in four sets and won his third Grand Slam championship as a prelude. , followed by Newsweek, the first match of the Super 9, Sampras defeated Agassi in straight games to avenge the title, but two weeks later, Agassi responded with a 2:1 victory in the Lipton Championship. , and at this time replaced Sampras as the new world champion of ATP. Although Sampras succeeded in three consecutive championships at Wimbledon in June, the entire summer hard court tennis season in North America belonged to Agassi. , he won four hard-court championships in a row (including two Super Nine tournaments - Toronto and Cincinnati Tennis Tournament). Among them, Agassi defeated Sampras again (2:1) in Toronto, Canada. In short, Before the start of the U.S. Open, Agassi went to New York to defend his title with the amazing momentum of winning 20 consecutive hard-court games (four competitions, including defeating Sampras). He was slightly better than Sampras in terms of recent situation and winning momentum. Even though Sampras was still confident in himself, he wanted to compete with Agassi. The US Open in 1995 started under this situation. In comparison, other stars were outshined. It was much bleaker, and both of them entered the final very confidently, preparing for the 17th duel in their careers (the two sides tied at 8:8 before). The first set of the two sides was a battle of momentum, and the first nine service games went smoothly. Holding on, Sampras led 5:4. However, in the tenth service game, the two sides played a 24-time back-and-forth baseline exchange, bringing the game to a climax. Finally, Sampras hit a forehand winner. After winning and breaking Agassi's serve and winning the first set 6-4, he gained momentum and took advantage of the victory to win the second set (6-3). Although Agassi tried to fight back and won the third set (6-3) -4), but Sampras played steadily in the fourth set and broke Agassi's serve again, and finally ended the game with an ace, defeating 6-4, 6-3, 4-6, 7-5. Agassi won the 1995 US Open and ended Agassi's 26-game winning streak on hard courts. He also narrowed the points gap between himself and Agassi (Sampras still regained the title of tennis champion at the end of the year), and also won three consecutive games on the hard court. He won two Grand Slams every year. After the game, Sampras happily said that if he could win two Grand Slams every year, it wouldn't matter whether he was the world's top player; while Agassi, despite his brilliant achievements throughout the summer, After losing in the US Open Championship, he said in frustration: He would rather exchange those 26 victories for this victory, which shows his disappointment and the obvious strong contrast between victory and defeat. But this year, Agassi still had the upper hand 3:2 in the match between the two. The Grand Slam match ended in a 1:1 tie, which was actually not inferior. However, in terms of Grand Slam results and world rankings, Sampras undoubtedly still had the upper hand. We are big fans, but the biggest fans are still fans. We are lucky enough to watch the most perfect skills of the two tennis kings. The tennis world is booming. It is not an exaggeration to call this season a dream season.

96 US Open

This year the US Open did something controversial in determining the seed draw rankings. I don’t know if it was because the US Tennis Association was trying to avoid the world’s No. 1 ranking. Eighth-ranked Agassi and world champion Sampras met in advance of the quarter-finals. They were unwilling to determine the seeding order according to the world rankings announced by the ATP. Instead, they followed Wimbledon's custom rankings. As a result, Agassi was ranked as the sixth seed. The new French Open champion Kafelnikov was forced to be ranked seventh seed from the world's third seed. As a result, Kafelnikov was dissatisfied and quit the match in protest. There was also a lot of curses among the players, blaming the organizer. They didn't respect the ATP rankings, and ignored that grass courts are different from hard courts, and there are far fewer games. It was just nonsense, and the game started under a lot of curses. At the same time, Edberg, the former golf champion and two-time US Open champion, participated in the US Open for the last time (he retired at the end of 1996). As a result, his luck in signing was extremely bad, and he met him in the first round just two months ago. Karagisek, a former Wimbledon champion, just when everyone thought this was the last Grand Slam match of Edberg's career, he mustered up the courage to overthrow Karagisek, and He became more and more courageous as he fought, reaching all the way to the quarterfinals before losing to Ivanisevic. The moment he was sure to lose, the audience all stood up and applauded his glorious history. From now on, everyone can no longer appreciate this tennis gentleman on the court. It is a pity that his batting style has been lost, but the style of this most sportsmanlike player in tennis will always remain in the minds of fans. This year was also the year when Zhang Depei shined. After he changed his racket and strengthened his serve, his performance also had a breakthrough performance. At the beginning of the year, he reached the finals of the Australian Open without losing a set (including defeating Ali in the semi-finals). Canada), although he did not win the championship in the end, his outstanding performance was impressive. The US Open is also a hard court, which is also very suitable for Zhang Depei's playing style. He also performed well, with a flat and zero-error performance in the semi-finals. Defeating Agassi, who was full of mistakes, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2, he reached the U.S. Open final for the first time and had the opportunity to compete for the golf title. As long as he can beat Sampras in the final, he can win it. He won the Grand Slam for the first time in seven years and became the world champion. And Sampras returned empty-handed in the first three Grand Slams this year (lost to Philippe Siss 0-3 in the third round of the Australian Open, and although he played the best semi-finals of his life at the French Open, he still lost to the later The champion Kafelnikov, even the best Wimbledon player, lost 0-3 to the champion Karajisek in the quarterfinals), and his coach Gullikson died of brain cancer. He only wanted to win this year. Winning a Grand Slam to glorify his coach puts him under great pressure to defend his title. As a result, he encountered the most difficult battle of his life in the quarterfinals. Facing unseeded Cretega, he actually faced Sampdoria. Lars fought through five sets, and Sampras even vomited when he reached the tie-break of the fifth set due to lack of physical strength. However, he persisted with his willpower and even tied the tie-break at 7-7. When the first serve failed to score, he still worked hard to deliver an ace to get the final point of the 8-7 match, which shocked the whole audience and Cretega, and the game ended with Cretega's double fault - the score was 7-6 ( 7-5), 5-7, 5-7, 6-4, 7-6 (9-7). After the game, Sampras was sent to the hospital for an intravenous drip, which showed how exhausted he was. This game was called A classic at the US Open. Sampras also seemed to be in great shape after winning this tragic battle. He defeated Ivan again (3-1) and entered the final. At the beginning of the final, he won five games in a row to suppress Zhang Depei's momentum. He fought hard all the way to the end, and finally won in straight games 6-1, 6-4, 7-6 (7-3) to successfully defend the US Open title. He also wrote a record that allowed him to win at least one Grand Slam for four consecutive years. The record continues to stand.

97 US Open

The center court of the US Open has changed this year. The newly completed Arthur Ashe Stadium has become the new center court, and the original Armstrong Stadium has been relegated to the third place. In view of the disputes last year, the conference will not randomly change the seeding order this year, and will completely follow the ATP rankings. At the same time, as an expression of goodwill, the first men's singles event at the historic Ashe Stadium will be assigned to card players who retired last year. Ernikov, and he won a historic victory. Agassi, who had previously claimed to be injured and withdrawn from the first three Grand Slam tournaments, returned at the US Open. However, his world ranking was already on the edge of the top 100 at the time. He participated in three tournaments as an unseeded player, but he still managed to win three games. It was not until the top 16 that he lost to the 13th seed Rafter 1-3.

And golf king Sampras is almost unbeatable in the world this year. He has won two of the top three Grand Slams (Australian Open and Wimbledon). He has also achieved outstanding results in hard court events this summer and is determined to win three consecutive US Open titles. The former Sampras confidently said that with his current situation, it will not be easy to defeat him. But such a difficult thing still happened in the top 16. The person who completed this task was the 15th seed Koda. Koda made Sampras feeble when he met Sampras at Wimbledon last time. It took five sets to defeat him. This time they encountered him again. Koda vowed to regain his face. Moreover, Koda's passing ball in this game was very ideal. In addition, after hitting key balls, he often inspired himself with his Super Mario jumps. It was also able to dampen Sampras' morale at the right time. As a result, Koda's super-level performance led to a victory of 6-7 (1-7), 7-5, 7-6 (7-2), 3-6, 7-6. (7-3) defeated Sampras and shattered Sampras' dream of three consecutive championships. However, Korda then withdrew from the quarterfinals due to a cold and lost to Bjorkman. When Sampras was eliminated, the second seed Zhang Depei became the favorite to win the championship. However, he stumbled all the way. He almost lost against Pioline in the round of 16 and fell behind 2-5 in the fourth set. They rushed to catch up and won 11 of the next 12 games before narrowly eliminating Piolin in 5 sets. In the quarterfinals, they had two sets in hand and were expected to win easily, but after losing two sets in a row and falling to 2-2, He barely defeated Rios 3-2, but it took a lot of physical effort. Compared to his semi-final opponent Rafter, who had only lost one set to Agassi, he had more physical strength. In addition, he was Zhang Depei's best player. The headache of serving and hitting the net, coupled with Rafter's fighting spirit and momentum of daring to fight and attack the net, completely overwhelmed Zhang Depei. In the end, Rafter was broken with a perfect zero serve (all eight break points were saved) and won 6-3. , defeated Zhang Depei in straight games 6-3, 6-4 to advance to the final. Since 1992, all previous champions have had to go through Zhang Depei on their way to the championship (except for 1995). Rafter was no exception. After he defeated Zhang Depei, as predicted by various experts, he successfully defeated Zhang Depei 3-1 in the final. Unseeded player Rusedski became the new champion of the US Open and the first 13th seed in the history of a Grand Slam. This is also the second time an Australian player has won the championship after Cash won the championship at Wimbledon in 1987. Grand Slam and Rafter became famous because of this, and the year-end ranking jumped to second place.

98 US Open

The competition in tennis this year was extremely fierce. The six players who advanced to the finals of the first three Grand Slams were all different. In the past, Sampras was rock solid. The throne was also overtaken by Rios twice, and before Sampras was crowned king at Wimbledon, his results were mediocre and he only won two small competitions. He seemed to have lost his previous invincible momentum, so Sampras wanted to Use the US Open to revive his reputation as the world's best player. For Agassi, 1998 was the year he vowed to make a comeback, and he also achieved quite good results, winning four tour championships (all on hard courts), but he failed to pass the Grand Slam. In the fourth round, this US Open is also a good opportunity for Agassi to strive for performance; and Zhang Depei’s performance has been sluggish until the end of the year after losing last year’s hegemony. Coupled with the leg injury at the beginning of the year, his performance has not improved, and his ranking has dropped. In addition to being ranked 20th, this US Open is also very important to him; and the defending champion Rafter, since winning last year, has had mediocre results at the beginning of this year. McEnroe was once ridiculed as a Grand Slam player. , but I don’t know if he was stimulated by this, but Rafter’s achievements this summer were impressive, winning two consecutive Super 9 championships in Canada and Cincinnati, and defeating his natural rival Sampras in the Cincinnati final, which suddenly increased his momentum to defend the US Open. Quite a bit, which makes people feel that Rafter came prepared this time. The competition at the US Open in 1998 seems to be more fierce than before. It can be said that everyone has hope, but no one is sure. However, there can only be one champion. Although Zhang Depei tried his best to cheer up. , but it seemed that time was too late. In the second round, he met this year's French Open champion Moya. After leading by two sets, he still held the final point of the match. Moya was forced to reverse it in three sets. It was like a victory for him to regain his glory. A major blow; Agassi encountered Kucera in the fourth round and was trapped by his soft ball path and moonshot. He made many mistakes. In addition, the opponent's improper throwing movement was unknown whether it was intentional, which caused Agassi's spirit to be disturbed. His anger increased, and in the end he imitated his opponent's moves and played a strange game. However, in the end he lost the game in five sets because of too many mistakes, making Agassi's declaration of returning to the top of the world. This year it became empty talk.

However, the world champion Sampras made it all the way to the semi-finals; while the defending champion Rafter, although he entered with momentum this summer, almost lost in the first round. Facing Morocco's Alazi, he lost 4-6, 4-6. After losing two sets in a row, he was about to lose. However, a controversial decision in the third set changed the momentum of the game. Araz's mood was affected, but Rafter seemed to have woken up from a dream and cautiously pursued three sets in a row, winning 6-6. 3,6-3,6-1 came back and passed in a thrilling way. This battle also made Rafter dare not be careless in the next game, so he safely reached the semi-finals to face Sampras, because one side was the defending champion. , one side is the king of the ball, and they are both good at hard courts, and the other one who made it to the final is unseeded Philippoussis, so this battle is called "the final before the final", and the game is also very exciting. Neither side was sure of victory. In the first two sets, both sides went one step further. However, in the third set, when Sampras was leading 5-2, he strained his thigh muscle during a net attack. Although it was not serious, it was It affected Sampras' running speed and greatly reduced his mobility. Although he still won the third set, he seemed to be at the end of his strength. He was not sure of winning the game even if he was 100% in shape. The injury only changed the probability of failure from 50% to 100% certainty. In the end, Rafter won with 6-7 (8-10), 6-4, 2-6, 6-4, 6-3. Defeated Sampras for the second time in a month, but Sampras' injury made this victory a little regretful (but it cannot be said that he was lucky, even if Sampras was not injured, the winner has not yet been determined) It can be seen), and after Rafter passed this level, he basically had nothing to fear. Facing his Australian compatriots who had reached the final for the first time, Rafter could be said to have dominated the entire final in four sets (6-3). , 3-6, 6-2, 6-0 and only 5 unforced errors in the whole game) defeated Philippe Siss and successfully defended the US Open, breaking the evaluation of the first-time player, and the ranking rose to second place. .

US Open 1999

To be honest, the 1999 season was mediocre before the French Open. Sampras had no performance before Wimbledon for two consecutive years, and he was the top player. It was also taken away by Australian Open champion Kafelnikov, but the irony is that Kafelnikov won the title despite seven consecutive defeats, which also caused many people to criticize the ATP points system. Rookies in the tennis world were unable to show a succession trend. Just when the tennis world was in a downturn, Agassi's emotional victory at the French Open reversed the situation. He and Graf both made a comeback and set off a climax in the tennis world. Agassi completed his career Grand Slam. At the same time, his rise also inspired Sampras. The two reached the Wimbledon final. The duel again awakened the memories of fans and ignited the tennis craze again. Sampras defeated Agassi and won the 12th Grand Prix. (also the sixth Wimbledon), and fans are also looking forward to their rematch in the 1999 US Open final. The two are also ranked 1st and 2nd seeds in the conference, but the defending fourth seed Rafter is not easy to mess with. Yes, it depends on whether Sampras wants to enter the final; and Agassi may also have to face the challenge of Kafelnikov first (and the match between the two this summer was 1-1). In the 1999 US Open It is under this circumstance that it unfolds. However, a dramatic change occurred at the start of the match. Sampras, the first seed, accidentally strained his back during pre-match practice. After a day of extended rest, it still did not improve, so he had to withdraw from the match sadly. An even more unexpected incident also happened on the same day. , defending champion Rafter faced Piolin in the first round. Halfway through the match, his existing shoulder injury recurred and worsened, causing Rafter to go from leading two sets to evenly matched 2-2 because of the unbearable pain. , coupled with the fact that the serve was broken at the beginning of the fifth set, considering the life of tennis, he still reluctantly announced his withdrawal from the match. On the same day, the tournament lost the champion and the defending champion, which not only caused chaos in the first half of the draw, but also lowered the score a lot. The excitement of the game was that after a fierce battle in the chaotic first half, it was Piolin and Todd Martin who qualified. Todd Martin had previously performed a huge comeback from losing two to three in the round of 16 against Rusedski. After that, he played more and more fiercely, reaching the peak in the semi-finals, defeating Piolin in straight games and reaching the US Open final for the first time.

When Sampras and Rafter withdrew, the second half of the lottery suddenly became the only focus. Kafelnikov even boldly predicted that the championship must come from the second half of the lottery, and believed that only Agassi, himself and Karagi Only Sec may win the title. This prediction is quite accurate. All three of them successfully reached the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals, Kafelnikov faced Karagisek’s 49 aces and still finished with 7 -6 (7-0), 7-6 (7-4), 3-6, 1-6, 7-6 (7-5) narrowly passed the test and entered the semi-finals. Facing the opponents who came all the way, it was easy. Agassi was the favorite for the championship. Although Kafelnikov won the first set, Agassi immediately used his fast-drawing style of play and the tactics of small balls in front of the net, coupled with his endurance of physical strength, the more he played, the more prosperous he was. Under the momentum, Agassi finally defeated Kafelnikov 1-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 to advance to the finals. He reached the finals of three consecutive Grand Slams, but he faced in the finals It was the high-spirited Todd Martin. The two had played together since childhood and knew each other very well. Todd Martin's desire to win a Grand Slam prompted Todd Martin to perform a super-level performance and once oppressed Agassi. The set was also 2-1 ahead, but Agassi was not in a hurry even when he was behind. He used his skills steadily and coupled with his abundant physical strength, performed a zero-error performance, kept all serve games, and succeeded in breaking serve appropriately. After fighting for five sets, he finally defeated Todd Martin 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 6-7 (2-7), 6-3, 6-2 and won the US Open championship for the second time. , it can be said that he deserved the title. What Agassi was most praised for in 1999 was that he no longer gave up the game as easily as before. He was full of confidence in himself, remained steady at critical moments, and developed good physical strength, which finally helped him win again. Winning the Grand Slam Gold Cup and returning to the top spot after the US Open also widened the gap with Sampras. In the end, Sampras ended the year-end top spot for six consecutive years and became the top player for the first time. To win the championship at the end of the year, one can say "It's amazing, Agassi".
