This Andre is no Cold Duck I

 

Agsssi Agassi made some history in Australia. He defeated Yevgeny Kafelnikov 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 in the Australian Open final, becoming the first man in 30 years to reach four successive Grand Slam[1] finals. Australia's Rod Laver won all four Grand Slam events in 1969.

 

A little over two years ago, Agassi slid to No. 141 in the world when he got fat and lazy. Now, two months shy of 30, Agassi is playing the best tennis of his career -- or just about any other career, for that matter. He finished the 1999 season as the world's No. 1-ranked player (for the first time) and he is an early favorite[2] to repeat.

I feel like I'm stronger than I have ever been," Agassi said, giving full credit to trainer Gil Reyes. "I'm fitter than I've ever been, I'm moving better than I've ever moved."

货真价实的阿加西（一）

Agassi　　阿加西在澳大利亚创造了历史。他在澳大利亚网球公开赛决赛中以3-6，6-3， 6-2，6-4击败卡费尔尼科夫，从而成为30年来首位赢得四大满贯赛事冠军的球员。澳大利亚人拉维尔曾在1969年赢得四大满贯赛事冠军。

　　两年多前，他变得懒散，身体发胖，世界排名一度滑落到第141位。现在，还差两个月就到30岁的阿加西，其网球事业却达到了新的高度--或者，进一步来说，是二次创业。他的1999年终排名为世界第一（这还是他的头一次），而且可望继续拿冠。
