Agassi, Sargis Sarsian reach fourth round

The 34-year-old former world No. 1 Agassi broke Novak’s serve six times in three sets and swatted 11 aces past the helpless Czech. Agassi only committed 20 unforced errors, compared to 41 for the loser.

Agassi, an eight-time Grand Slam champion, including U.S. Open titles in 1994 and 1999 and runner-up finishes here in 1990, 1995 and 2002, is on a collision course to meet Federer in a blockbuster quarterfinal.

He will meet his good friend Sargis Sargsian first though. The veteran Sargsian, who has stayed in Agassi’s home and is a regular practice partner with the legendary American, rallied to defeat France’s Paul-Henri Mathieu in an epic five-set match that lasted just over 4 1/2 hours. Sargsian overcame a two-set deficit to post a 4-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2, 7-6 (7-4) win.

Sargsian has now been on the court for nearly 10 hours in his last two matches after also posting a five-set win in his third-round encounter over Athens gold medalist Nicolas Massu. That match lasted slightly over five hours.
