Like old times, an ovation for Agassi

NEW YORK: It was like old times at Arthur Ashe Stadium as US Open fans gave Andre Agassi a rousing ovation as the former champion was honored before Monday's opening night program at Flushing Meadows.

Eight-time Grand Slam champion Agassi, the US Open winner in 1994 and 1999, was one of four athletes saluted on center court as part of a celebration of the community work done by them.

Agassi was joined by former basketball player David Robinson, football quarterback Doug Flutie and women's soccer player Mia Hamm, but it was the tennis champion who won a standing ovation and blew kisses to the four corners of Arthur Ashe Stadium.
