Agassi pulls out of San Jose tournament with strained back February 13, 2006 SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) -- Andre Agassi has withdrawn from the SAP Open because of a strained lower back, the latest injury setback for the star player. Agassi, who was seeded second in the event which begins Monday, told tournament director Bill Rapp on Sunday night that he couldn't play. Agassi experienced severe pain in his lower back and down his legs during a workout Sunday, tournament officials said in a news release. "It's really disappointing to miss this year's tournament and I was really looking forward to playing again in the Bay Area," Agassi said. Agassi, 35, has played only four matches since reaching the U.S. Open final last September. He sprained his left ankle playing racquetball Oct. 12. Agassi aggravated the injury during the season-ending Tennis Masters Cup in Shanghai, where he was upset by Nicolay Davydenko in the first round. He pulled out of last month's Australian Open because of the injury and then lost to Guillermo Garcia-Lopez in the quarterfinals of the International Tennis Championships earlier this month in his first tournament of the year. Agassi is currently ranked eighth in the world by the ATP. His only tournament win last season came in Los Angeles, and he lost to world No. 1 Roger Federer in the U.S. Open final in September.
