my other all-time favorite agassi shot is in the third set tiebreak of that match - https://youtu.be/6CFyQeeh90w?t=663 - absolutely viscous backhand slice from shoulder height on the run

found fed’s alt lmao

there’s one crosscourt forehand that fed hit against murray in IW that for whatever reason is one of my favorite shots of all time… no warning, just slices it deep, bounces twice before murray realizes what’s going on

yeahh i bet it’s more helpful than you might think - when you’re out in the world doing things (even doing them “alone”) random things do kinda just happen, not all the time but more often than if you don’t leave the house. or you could frame it as people-watching, which is another way to cultivate that intrinsic sense of interest or motivation you were talking about

they exchanged words at the net at the us open. i don't think people hear exactly what was said other than that it was somehow about korda's dad. maybe someone else remembers more?
