Agassi to Retire After U.S. Open
“This Wimbledon will be my last,” Agassi said Saturday. “And the U.S. Open will be my last tournament.”
“It’s been a lot of sacrifices the last few months trying to get myself right to come back here and enjoy this tournament for the last time,” he said. “It feels great but it’s been a long road this year for me. After the U.S. Open last year I had a lot of reasons to be motivated to shoot for another successful year but for many reasons that hasn’t been the case.”
“I feel like I still have something to bring out there,” Agassi said. “I’ve done this for 20-plus years and I want to be out there feeling like I’m right, physically and mentally. I wanted to make sure I made the right decisions to get myself ready for this championship and to hopefully carry through the summer.”
A man has great tickets for the World Cup Final. As he sits down, another man comes down and asks if anyone is sitting in the empty seat next to him.
