no. he was clearly cramping up. plus i think the kid would have had too much respect for agassi (who i read he was a fan of growing up) to pull something like that. thing about cramps v. pulling a muscle is that they can be worked through in short order especially once the trainer worked him over.
and the crowds appreciation for him might have grown but they werent likely to turn much against agassi. meanwhile, with the kid literally hobbling on one leg to return serve, agassi couldnt get a first serve in for his life, and baghdattis managed to make a game of it hitting winners off the second serve. made me think of the karate kid, except he lost in the end. agassi actually deserved to lose that game. and really he should have won in three sets. as they say he can barely walk between matches those extra two sets may have seriously diminished his capacities.
whatever. entertaining stuff.
