He looks like he's playing well and his draw isn't bad for Montreal. I loved his speech in California after he won he was speaking and someone handed him a watch and he made the comment that it came from ebay, everyone laughed, thought I'd fall out of my chair. And guess he hasn't received his clothes from Adidas yet just wearing plain white shorts and plain white top that had only a small part on the back with the 3-stripes. I was looking forward to seeing him the 3-stripe shorts, guess they are being custom made for his size.  |

Agassi vows to carry on playing
Agassi is the oldest player at the Masters Cup be eight years
Andre Agassi has put his retirement on hold for at least another year as he prepares to return to action at the Masters Cup in Shanghai on Monday.
Agassi last played in his US Open final defeat to Roger Federer in September and says that loss has inspired him to continue to challenge for titles.
"I want another chance, that's the way it is," said the 35-year-old American.
"It brings out my motivation to do things I don't even think I'm capable of doing."
Agassi will make his comeback against Russia's Nikolay Davydenko on Monday and is the oldest player by eight years at the season finale.
The third seed, whose lay-off has been tailored to get him fit for Shanghai, added: "I want to keep doing this so I have to choose my poison.
"Not playing is not always easy and it's not always a great decision in the short-term but my intention is to do this for another year."

 Agassi in doubt for Open Andre Agassi's participation in next month's Australian Open is in doubt because of a lingering ankle injury. The 35-year old picked up the injury while playing racquetball on October 12th and aggravated it further during the season-ending Masters Cup in Shanghai last month. Agassi has recently confirmed his presence at the Kooyong invitational tournament - his regular pre-Australian Open warm-up - but his early season plans are still in doubt because of the injury. "Australia has now become a concern, no question about it," said Agassi. "Until this is better, I can't make any sure statements. Right now, I'm worried about my training. I have hope that the next week or two will be big gains." The American, who was slated by the ATP and organisers of the Shanghai Masters Cup for pulling out of the event, said that playing his first round match against Nikolay Davydenko was to blame for his current situation. "It's arguably worse now than it was two weeks ago, so I set myself back going to Shanghai," added Agassi. "After my experience in Shanghai, I can confidently say I'll never get on the court again unless I'm 100% ready."

AA is also going to miss RG not due to injury but realism, he knows he is not gonna win at RG so he will most likely miss the clay court events and focus all his energy on a wimbledon victory (More likely)

Agassi to miss French Open
American Andre Agassi has announced his intentions to miss next year's French Open in order to concentrate on Wimbledon, which starts just two weeks after Roland Garros. Agassi, who is also doubtful for January's Australian Open, has lost in the first round at the French Open for the past two years.
"Two years in a row as a result of trying to still compete on clay, I've been unable to compete at Wimbledon," Agassi told the Los Angeles Times.
"I think it's a good decision for me in the bigger picture," he added. "But I have to call my shot, take my best guess as to what I need and not playing the clay at this stage of my career beats the alternative which is putting myself through it and jeopardizing more realistic goals for me."
Agassi said he was considering playing for the U.S. Davis Cup team next year, beginning with a February tie against Romania in California.
He won the French Open in 1999 to complete his set of four grand slam titles and has played in Paris every year since 1998.
