He further emphasized his belief in his own superiority,suggesting agassi needed to elevate his game to compete.
“He’s not as good as he was when he was at the top of the ranking,otherwise he would be there. Fortunately, I’m there. I think he has to raise his game,not me,” he added.

While his confident pronouncements might have seemed arrogant to some, his performance on the court undeniably backed up his words.
