Will Andre Agassi Retire by Dec 31st and Will He Win Another Grand
Slam?
1 June 2005
COSTA RICA -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- It is almost hard to watch when a
sports legend struggles on the court, field, or diamond. But it is
inevitable for all athletes to struggle at one time or another. This
time it was tennis legend Andre Agassi After hurting himself in his
first-round match at the French Open while up two sets to one, he
lost to qualifier Jarkko Nieminen It was only the latest in Agassi's
French Open struggles -he has lost two years in a row in the first
round to qualifiers and has not advanced further than the quarter
finals since winning the tournament in 1999.
Agassi is easily one of the greatest tennis players of all time and
after being near the bottom of the game less than a decade ago has
had one of the most impressive and successful comebacks in tennis
history. The question now becomes, when will the 35-year-old Agassi
hang it up for good? Thirty-five may not seem old in other
professional sports, but in tennis it is almost unheard of to
compete at Agassi's level at his age. No matter when he retires his
career will be one of the most celebrated in sports history.
"Andre Agassi is truly a special athlete and a special person," said
WagerWeb.com CEO Dave Johnson. "It is tough to see him struggle as
he has done lately, but Agassi has enough in him to make one last
run at a CHAMPIONSHIP and our customers agree by making a large
amount of wagers on Agassi to win another Grand Slam before he
retires."
Wagerweb.com posts odds on: "Will tennis star Andre Agassi retire by
December 31st 2005 and will he win another grand slam championship
before he retires?"
