Tell us your Agassi memories

September 04, 2006

Andre Agassi's glittering career ended on Sunday at the Arthur Ashe stadium, New York, and tennis lost its most cherished showman.

A capacity crowd at the US Open stood and cheered during match point of his 7-5 6-7 6-4 7-5 defeat to German qualifier Benjamin Becker in the third round.

Fans have loved Agassi's laser-like groundstrokes over the last 20 years but it was his personality that had admirers the world over root for the magician from Las Vegas.

The 36 year old has donned many faces over the years, evolving from a rebellious teenager into a statesman of the sport.
