Wow, these first few paragraphs are terrible. "opening message... , Open." Anger leading to resentment, leading to, uh, rage? Hm. Snorting meth "with the speed of a U.S. Open serve"? When I read that, I went to see when Agassi had died, since I thought the author was obviously implying suicide by meth... Apparently, Agassi just, you know, did some drugs in the late 90s, though.
