"The scoreboard said I lost today, but what the scoreboard doesn't say is what it is I have found."
"And over the last 21 years, I have found loyalty. You have pulled for me on the court and also in life. I've found inspiration. You have willed me to succeed sometimes even in my lowest moments."
"And I've found generosity. You have given me your shoulders to stand on to reach for my dreams, dreams I could have never reached without you."
"Over the last 21 years, I have found you. And I will take you and the memory of you with me for the rest of my life."
"Thank you."
- Andre Agassi, after his loss to Benjamin Becker in the 2006 US Open Sunday, his final match that brought down the curtain on one of the greatest careers in tennis.

Thanks for all the memories, Andre. You will always be my absolute favorite tennis player.
We'll definitely miss you, and we wish you all the best in life...
