Agassi Wins 2003 Debut on Clay

American improves to ATP-best 19-1 with straight sets victory against
Croatia's Zeljko Krajan

Agassi reached the semifinals in Houston last year.

Top seed Andre Agassi only needed 47 minutes to beat Zeljko Krajan of
Croatia 6-2, 6-0, on Tuesday afternoon, in his first clay court match
of the season. Agassi lost eight points on his serve and faced only one
break point while improving his match record to an ATP-best 19-1 on the
season. Agassi plays Irakli Labadze in the second round on Thursday.

WHAT THE PLAYERS SAID:

Agassi: "It was a great first (on clay) match for me today and I got the
lead early and hit my shots well. When you play someone for the first
time you don't take anything for granted and I feel good about my game
today."

On getting ready for his first clay court match of the season: "You have
to go through adjustments in practice on clay and you're playing different
shots. There's a lot you need to go through but you cannot do anything
until you play matches."
