Open-Agassi sets up Federer showdown at U.S. Open
Mon 6 September, 2004 22:03
NEW YORK, Sept 6 (Reuters) – Sixth seed Andre Agassi set up a
mouthwatering quarter-final showdown with world number one Roger
Federer following a 6-3 6-2 6-2 win over Armenia’s Sargis Sargsian
at the U.S. Open on Monday.
Sargsian survived two five-set battles to reach the fourth round but
Agassi, looking for his ninth grand slam title, was in a different
class as he raced to victory in just 90 minutes.
The 34-year-old American, champion in 1994 and 1999, was in ominous
form as he charged through the match. He won seven consecutive games
to take a 4-0 lead in the decider.
Sargsian, a close friend of Agassi, registered on the scoreboard
in the fifth game but the sixth seed clinched victory with a huge
forehand winner.
