Agassi was bothered more by sprinkles than wind. At the start of the third set he asked for play to be held up a few minutes and was told no. Then there was a slight delay after Goldstein slipped and fell chasing a ball on the baseline.

"I have a hard time playing on hard court when it's drizzling," Agassi said, adding that because of injuries and lack of playing time he hasn't felt comfortable on any court since last fall's U.S. Open. "I was just asking if we could wait just a few minutes.

"Then they stopped (after Goldstein fell) and we waited until the rain stopped, and then it was a lot easier to concentrate."
