Andre Agassi v Igor Andreev: First meeting.

Andre Agassi's first singles in the Stella Artois this year(he was on court at
the end of yesterday's sun-drenched day of record crowds playing doubles)brings
him up against the 20-year-old Russian Igor Andreev who also had the benefit of
competition on the opening day with a win over the French teenager Richard
Gasquet. This was quite a feat by Andreev because the first time he played on
grass was when he practised on a back court on Sunday.The third seeded Agassi
took a wild card into the Stella Artois after being beaten in the first round
of the French Open. At 34 he is an icon in the game he has played with such
distinction for approaching 19 years.He has gained eight Grand Slam titles on
the way and is one of that rare breed to have won all four Grand Slam
championships. His victory at Wimbledon was in 1992.Agassi was a semi-finalist
at the 2003 Stella Artois.

Verdict: Agassi's experience to prove too much for Andreev.
