Mason (Ohio), Aug 10: Top-ranked Andre Agassi pulled out of next week's Cincinnati Masters, saying he needs to limit his playing time.
Agassi was beaten by Ranier Schuettler 2-6, 6-2, 6-3 in the quarterfinals of the Canada Masters in Montreal on Friday. Agassi's agent then informed the local tournament that he was withdrawing.
"While I clearly anticipated playing Cincinnati, at this stage of my career I have to be selective about the weeks I can compete," Agassi said in a statement released yesterday. The US Open starts on August 25. Agassi's withdrawal leaves French Open champion Juan Carlos Ferrero as the top-seeded player. Play begins on Monday.
