Andre Agassi gives Rafael Nadal the chance to sweep all four Grand Slam titles in the same calendar years should the world No. 1 get on the roll which began for him at the majors by winning in Australia last January.
"I never thought for a second his game could ever translate to grass", said Aagssi, 39, winner of the four - but not in teh same year - over the course of his career which ended at the US Open three years ago.
"But he calls his shot and he executes, it wouldn't shock me to see him pull off the unthinkable". Agassi played a weekend exhibition to break in the new Wimbledon Centre court roof along with wife Steffi Graf, and former stars Kim Clijsters and Tim Henman.
"When he first won in Paris and he came here and said it was awesome to win the French Open but his dream was to win in Wimbledon. People laughed and I was one of them", said Agassi.
"To see what Nadal managed to accomplish last year was part of what made it so special, watching that epic (Wimbledon 2008) final (over Roger Federer), that probably transcends any other match ever played".
"If he retains Paris and comes here with the confidence to put together two good weeks, I think we could be looking at him in New York with a realistic opportunity of going on to achieve the unthinkable".

Honestly, Roger of Murray will foil him at the open. I just see, his prospects against a shaped up Federer (Note, I suspect he has a better chance against the maestro) or Murray. I just think that that...well probably Murray, will foil his plans.
