Yes , I don't doubt that ! Look at this 😎 So Agassi with 8 GS in the bag , was the best returner in the 90`ties and Pete's biggest rival ! He was know as one of the best returners in the game , so I took a look at his stats compared to Novak who is also know as one of the best returners ...... Novak Return Games Won % 32.1% Agassi Return Games Won % 31.7% Novak 1st serve Return won % 33,8 Agassi 1st return won % 31,4 Novak 2nd serve Return Won % 55.2% Agassi 2nd Serve. Return Won % 55.8% Novak Break Points Won % 44.3% Agassi Break Points Won % 43.4% Novak 1st Serve Won % 73.9% Agassi 1st Serve Won % 72.9% 0,4 % in difference of return games won 🤓😎 And Agassi made this astonishing numbers when the courts were much faster ! Much much harder to return then ! That fact alone put him above Novak in return game in my book ! I was honestly quite stunned to see those numbers , I have always thought Agassi`s return was crazy good, but those number are almost the same , and also back up my claim that both Agassi and even more so Pete would have taking a big bite of the Slams in this era ................hell 34 year old Agassi took prime Federer to 5 set in the quarterfinal in US Open 2004 ,then only 5 setter Federer was in from 2003-2005 , in the semi Federer gave 6-3-6-4-6-4- and in the final 6-o 7-6 6-o , and Agassi (35) took set against Federer in the final again in 2005 ! He retired the year after ! Which of course also tells the sad story of weak gen under the big 3 ! Pete and Agassi was the big 2 in the fast era before the big 3 in the slow era !

Funny that they didn’t really even take breaks in between sets. Nowadays they have 3 minute breaks on just a changeover.
