The former tennis player and eight-time Grand Slam champion André Agassi He is the protagonist and viral on social networks after having drawn what, for him, is the perfect tennis player according to the rules of this already famous trend. The challenge is to respond to a tennis characteristic with a namewhoever each person believes is the best in that area, with the aim of creating a fictitious tennis player who would be the ideal and best possible for each person.
The brand new former professional athlete has left a very dissatisfied all the fans of the Balearic, who are already showing their surprise and discontent at this, for them, lack of respect towards their idol: Rafa Nadal. Despite the Absence of the tennis player who has won 22 major tournamentsthe American has included Carlos Alcaraz one of the characteristics that make up his “perfect tennis player”. A decision that is very surprising given the youth of the Murcian who, at only 21 years old, has already won over all tennis fans, who already place him at very high levels.
The biggest surprise comes from a few statements Agassi made a few years ago. In them he showed that, for him, the best tennis player in history was Spanish and had been born in the Balearic Islands. For him, the best athlete in the history of tennis was Rafel Nadal Parera. “People can say what they want, Nadal is the best“, intoned the former champion in an interview for the French magazine GQ. Now, The surprise comes in the form of incoherence with those words above. A few years ago, when Nadal had not yet surpassed Roger Federer, Nadal was the best, but now, however, he leaves him out of his perfect tennis player for unknown reasons.

What’s more, Andre Agassi melted before Rafa Nadal and his game when he spoke of comparisons between the Spaniard and Roger Federer. “Federer has won eight Grand Slams. Nadal, on clay, has ten”, he explained to show the differences between the two on their different favourite surfaces. “And all this during Federer’s reign! Everyone should think about this before saying that Federer is the greatest in history”, he added to further praise the image of the Spaniard.
For all these reasons, many people now do not understand the American’s development of his perfect tennis player, although many downplay it, others do not believe it.
Despite Rafa’s absence, the player that the American has put together is a real madness full of talent. Although, on the other hand, leaves half of the ‘Big Four’ out.
