Agassi shows his form, dispatches Gambill.(South Florida Sun-Sentinel)
KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. _ He's older. He's wiser. And, continuing to defy the debilitating effects of a 10-month season, Andre Agassi showed on Sunday that at age 30 he is also fitter and better than at any time in his 15-year career.
Playing for the third consecutive day because of the rains that swamped South Florida on Thursday, Agassi came up with two big shots in the first-set tiebreak, then sailed through plucky fellow American Jan-Michael Gambill for a 7-6 (4), 6-1, 6-0 victory to win the Ericsson Open.
By the time the all-downhill, 28-minute third set was at 2-0, Gambill, 23, looked like a young man who had been running a treadmill for an hour. Agassi, meanwhile, couldn't have been fresher if he had been just pulled from a zip-lock bag.
His 22-2 record is his best start since he won Key Biscayne in 1995 on the way to a 29-2 beginning. Yet, despite six more years of mileage and a few injuries, Agassi insisted he's a much better player today.
"I'm stronger and I'm faster and I move better," he said. "When I move better, I have more options. And I have a lot of experience to make good decisions with those options."
There wasn't much to say about this match after Agassi put away the tiebreak, but that didn't diminish the length of his smile when he was handed his fourth Key Biscayne winner's trophy.
"I feel like I'm living a dream," he said. It marked the second time this year he has been on an 11-match winning streak and this was his third title in five 2001 tournaments. He also won the Australian Open, his seventh Grand Slam championship, and Masters Series event at Indian Wells, Calif., two weeks ago.
