Agassi Chases 60th Title
Andre Agassi plays in his 87th career final on Sunday at the if… Stockholm Open and can become only the seventh player in history of tennis to win 60 singles titles. The top-seeded American defeated No. 4 seed Tommy Haas 7-6(5), 7-6(4) in the Stockholm semifinals to set up a meeting with Thomas Johansson. The Swede ousted countryman Michael Ryderstedt 6-3, 6-2 to move a step closer to his second title in the Swedish capital. Agassi keeps his qualifying hopes for Tennis Masters Cup Houston alive, but still needs a good performance in next week’s BNP Paribas Masters in Paris.
At the Davidoff Swiss Indoors on Saturday, David Nalbandian advanced to the Basel final for the third straight year with a 6-3, 6-4 semifinal win over Chilean Nicolas Massu. Nalbandian will meet Jiri Novak in Sunday\'s final as he looks to maintain pressure on his rivals for the remaining Houston berths.
