Corretja upsets Agassi in Washington final
Second-seeded Alex Corretja derailed Andre Agassi`s bid for a third straight final at the men`s tennis classic, defeating the defending champion in straight sets 6-2 6-3.
The Spaniard fired nine aces on Sunday to upset a frustrated
Agassi, who snapped his racket against his left shoe after hitting a
forehand shot into the net early in the second set. He later
apologised to the crowd.
''I was just really upset because I wasn't executing the
shot that was there. I was making bad judgment calls and shot
selection,'' said Agassi, who was chasing his sixth
championship. ''It was pretty disappointing.''
Corretja broke Agassi's serve in the sixth game of the
first set to go up 4-2. Twice, Agassi double faulted to lose
the game, including one that handed Corretja the first set.
