Andre Agassi: Great Expectations

Because he announced his upcoming retirement, everywhere Andre Agassi plays, he is met with great expectations.

He lost to a qualifier today in the Legg Mason tournament in Washington DC. The Italian, Andrea Stoppini, was ranked 265 and defeated Agassi by a score of 6-4, 6-3.

Andre played so badly that at 3-0 in the second set, he shocked the crowd by hurling his racket so hard it broke.

The pressure to perform can get to anyone.
