Atypical and exciting player, Learner Tien represents a breath of fresh air for the ATP circuit, with a clearly countercultural style that demonstrates how talent can overcome everything. At just 19 years old, he is among the top 40 in the world and already shows unmistakable signs of genuine talent. This is how Andre Agassi sees him, who analyzed the potential of his compatriot with surprising confidence.

Tactically intelligent like few others, with a prodigious hand, the ability to create angles, change heights and effects... Learner Tien does not seem like a player from current times, but rather someone from the past who aims to open our eyes and show us that there are eternal virtues unaffected by time. Guided by Michael Chang, his progress has been fabulous, and Andre Agassi acknowledges this. During an event in Hong Kong, Agassi shared significant thoughts about the current world No. 38, as reported by newstennis.com.

- Agassi believes Learner Tien has everything to succeed and possesses an exceptionally tactical intelligence

"He's an incredibly talented guy. I see him with the natural ability and mental strength needed to become one of the best in the world. He perfectly understands all the tactical variations of the game and, mentally, he is exceptional," says Agassi, renowned for his insight into the game and helping young players in this aspect. However, he believes that Learner excels in this regard. "When I watch his performance on the court, I think he is one of the few players whom I believe I couldn't assist because he does absolutely everything on the court," he explained.

Doubts about whether Learner Tien could be a strong contender for Grand Slam titles and become a real alternative to the power of Sinner and Alcaraz arise from the explosiveness of his physique and the power of his shots, as well as his serve. For now, he compensates for these deficiencies with his natural talent and exceptional mind, but he will need something more. "He will have to overcome certain limitations regarding size and strength, but he is still young to work on that and narrow the gap," commented a Andre Agassi amazed by his compatriot. "Mentally, he has everything required to succeed. He will be capable of posing a clear threat to the top 10 in the short term," concluded the American.
