Andre Agassi has won his third Commonwealth Bank International in
four years in an impressive display against Sebastien Grosjean at
Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club today.
Going into the Australian Open, which he has incidentally won each
time he has won this very event, Agassi was confident of his chances
but just looking forward to playing his first match after a terrific
week at Kooyong.
In hot conditions Agassi proved his class outplaying Grosjean when
it mattered most and took advantage of his opportunities when they
arose.
Grosjean fought back in the second set to break Agassi's serve but
the champion came right back at the Frenchman to break back and then
went on to win the match 6/2 6/3.
"I think to win in this field means you're playing well and this is
as tough of a field as you are going to have anywhere," Agassi said.
"I felt real good, a lot better a lot sooner than I was even hoping,
so hopefully it will translate into me playing some good tennis in the
next couple of weeks," he said.
In the playoff for third and fourth spot, French sensation Richard
Gasquet took another scalp in an impressive start to his career
defeating Mark Philippoussis in straight sets and the youngster
seemed surprised and modest at his own ability against the top players
in world tennis.
With a tough first round match against Russian, Mikhail Youzhny at the
Australian Open, Gasquet was confident of playing some good tennis but
modest about his chances against Youzhny.
Philippoussis, although disappointed, was happy to have hit the ball
well this week and work his way back into some type of touch and happy
to be injury free.
