Injured Agassi Withdraws



Andre Agassi, 2001 Pacific Life Open champion and current ATP Champions Race leader, today withdrew from the Pacific Life Open because of a right shoulder injury.  Agassi, who was an ATP-best 12-1 this year after winning the Australian Open in January and San Jose last month, had been the No. 2 seed for this year's event, which begins men's main draw play on Monday and continues through Sunday, March 16 at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.
Agassi will be replaced in the draw by Gaston Gaudio of Argentina, who is the next-highest-ranked player in the draw.  Gaudio will battle 1998 Pacific Life Open champion Marcelo Rios in the first round. Gaudio's place in the draw will be filled by either a qualifier or a "lucky loser," the highest-ranked player who did not advance from the final round of qualifying.

 "I came here with every intention of competing this week," said Agassi.  "But after practicing yesterday, the injury is severe enough that there is no way I will be able to play.  I will miss playing in Indian Wells and look forward to coming back next year."

 "We are saddened by Andre's withdrawal and wish him well in his recovery," said Charlie Pasarell, Pacific Life Open tournament director.  "I know the fans were looking forward to seeing him compete and hope he will be back out on the court soon and back here in 2004. Tomorrow kicks off our first round of the men's draw which could be some of the most exciting matches in many years."

    不管如何，我覺得Agassi選擇退出這個賽事是有道理的。畢竟他一向
在這裡的把握性就不高（且他也不缺這個冠軍），且他目前正需要一個時
間去好好把狀態調整一下，重新爬升，以迎接下週的邁阿密大賽，追求第
六座冠軍這個歷史紀錄才是他重要的事情吧。如果身體有些不適，乾脆藉
機調整修養，可別因小失大，兩頭落空就虧大了（像去年庫揚賽太拚命的
結果，就是導致手傷而退出澳網）。

  今天的天氣是雲淡風清 彷彿不記得那一季濕濕的雨季
  人總要試著學習 往好的地方走下去 別總是 在原地
  聽到朋友談起你的消息 這段時間你的生活有高也有低
  那離開我的原因 已經變成你的伴侶 我只是 你的過去(你一段過去)
  雖然還繼續想你 聽起來連自己都覺得太煽情 雖然還依舊愛你 看起來又嫌多餘
  你離去 那天忽然傾盆大雨 忘記關的窗 濕一地
