Agassi makes history in Paris
|
|
Agassi is the first player to win all four Grand Slams since they've been played on three different surfaces.
|
Andre Agassi became just the fifth mens' tennis player in history to capture all four Grand Slam events, outlasting Andrei Medvedev in a marathon five-set French Open final on Sunday. The 29-year old American lost the first two sets, but rallied for a 1-6, 2-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Medvedev on the famous red clay at Stade Roland Garros.
After completing the feat in his eighth career Grand Slam final appearance, the 13th-seeded star covered his face with his arms and gestured toward the crowd in elation.
Agassi earned the five-set victory despite 23 aces by Medvedev, compared to only two by the American. Agassi also hit fewer winners in the match, but committed 56 unforced errors, compared to 65 by Medvedev.
