Agassi out of another tournament

This doesn't bode well for the US Open - he might be exiting early there with little match play leading up to the event.

Andre Agassi on Saturday pulled out of the upcoming Cincinnati Masters because of back pain.

"Andre is reluctantly unable to play," tournament director Bruce Flory said Saturday. "He had every intention of playing, but just didn't feel physically right in his practice sessions here."

The tournament starts Monday near Cincinnati. The 36-year-old Agassi intends to end his 20-year pro career at the U.S. Open, which begins Aug. 28 in New York. Yahoo News
