Agassi Charges to Last 16 http://www.atptennis.com/en/newsandscores/news/news/ausopen5.1.asp Andre Agassi saw off a stubborn challenge from versatile Frenchman Nicolas Escude to advance to the fourth round of the Australian Open. Playing in a hat to protect his head from the scorching sun, Agassi staved off multiple break points in the third set to win 6-2, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. "I don't want to burn anymore," Agassi said of his decision to play in a hat. "I cant take it anymore. It hurts." Agassi was under pressure throughout the match from an aggressive Escude, who jumped on Agassi's second serve, clipped his forehand at a furious pace, and came to the net at every opportunity. "The third set was pretty fortunate for me all around to be quite honest," Agassi said. "I was down break points throughout the whole set. I felt like it was 0-30 or 15-40 every time I went to the baseline to serve. "It's one of those situations where you live by the sword and you die by the sword. He plays dangerously, risky. He's going to hit his shots and he's going to miss them. You just hope that he doesn't make them at the most important times… I played the big points as well as I could have hoped today." Agassi next plays Argentine Guillermo Coria, who defeated Finn Jarkko Nieminen 7-5, 6-2, 6-2. Agassi won back-to-back Australian Open titles in 2000 and 2001 but missed last year's tournament with a wrist injury. -- ★wake up nico when he dreams★ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.csie.ntu.edu.tw) ◆ From: 218.187.38.79
