Agassi says Graf to be mum again


PARIS (AFP) - Andre Agassi says his promise to play mixed doubles with
Steffi Graf in next week's French Open had to be put off because his wife
is going to be a Mum again.

Agassi, here for his 15th French Open, promised a doubles appearance with
Graf after winning his eighth Grand Slam title in the Australian Open in
Melbourne in January.

"When I said we could mixed doubles with Steffi I didn't know the news," he
told the sports daily l'Equipe Thursday.

"It wouldn't be wise for a pregnant woman to play."

He said he didn't know whether 20-month-old Jaden Gil would be having a
brother or sister.

Graf, who won 22 Grand Slam titles, married Agassi in October 2001.

She retired in 1999 after winning the French Open for a sixth time .

Graf played mixed doubles with former world number one John McEnroe at
Wimbledon in 1999 when they reached the semi-finals.

The 33-year-old Agassi was the sport's oldest No 1 when he went to the top
of the rankings earlier in the year but if he wins here he will not be the
oldest French Open winner.

Andres Gomez of Ecuador was the last 30-year-old to win Roland-Garros,
beating a 20-year-old Agassi in the 1990 final.

Spaniard Andres Gimeno was 34 years and 10 months when he won in 1972 while
Australian Ken Rosewall and fellow American Franck Parker both triumphed
on the famous French clay at the age of 33.
