Andre Agassi received another anti-inflammatory
injection Saturday and got an extra day to rest before playing in
the third round of the U.S. Open, his match postponed because of
intermittent rain.
``I'll be all right. I don't need sympathy. I'll be OK,'' Agassi
said with a smile as he walked toward an exit, his racket bag slung
over a shoulder.
With no competition on any court as of 4 p.m. ET, Agassi's match
against German qualifier Benjamin Becker _ slated to be third in
Arthur Ashe Stadium on Saturday _ was rescheduled for 11 a.m. on
Sunday.
The 36-year-old Agassi, playing in the final tournament of his
career and fighting a bad back, has been on court for more than
seven hours already, including his five-set thriller against
eighth-seeded Marcos Baghdatis that began Thursday night and
finished in the wee hours of Friday.
``I prefer not to have a drama-filled one tomorrow,'' Agassi
said.
