Andre Agassi also talked about the biggest challenge he faced while using this trick. He said that the biggest challenge was resisting the urge to use this trick. He did not want Boris Becker to realize how he was picking his serve so he selected the points where he used the trick. And it worked out well as Boris never found out about this trick.

It was only after Boris retired that Andre Agassi told him about this trick. Andre said that when he told Boris about this he was extremely surprised. Apparently, he was wondering for years how Andre was reading his serve so well. I think we all would have the same reaction if someone told us this.
