NEW YORK - When Todd Martin announced his retirement from tennis on Monday night after losing his first-round match to Frenchman Fabrice Santoro in four sets, Andre Agassi became the last graybeard on the men’s circuit. Older players such as Pete Sampras, Jim Courier, Michael Chang, David Wheaton and now Martin have stepped aside.Can Agassi carry the mantle himself by winning his ninth career Grand Slam at the U.S. Open? Frankly, I don’t think so. Why? Age has caught up with him.That said, I think we must admit that this has been a very puzzling year for Agassi in that he never knows whether he is going to play well or not. Agassi once slumped during the 1997 season, when he plummeted out of the top 100.Andre AgassiAndre AgassiAndre AgassiAndre AgassiAndre Agassi
