Agassi wins sixth Key Biscayne title


Dispatches Moya in straight sets

The Associated Press

KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. - The first point went by in a blur: Andre Agassi tossed a ball into the balmy breeze and whipped a 117 mph ace.

His dominating serve made the rest of the match go quickly, too, and Agassi beat Carlos Moya 6-3, 6-3 Sunday in the final of the Nasdaq-100 Open.

The victory gave Agassi a record six Key Biscayne titles, including the past three. One month shy of his 33rd birthday, Agassi may be playing as well as ever - and said he has never served better.

"Today was certainly a great day for me serving-wise," he said. "I'm really getting up on it well."

Agassi has won 57 tournament titles thanks mostly to dominating groundstrokes and a service return touted as perhaps the best ever. His serve will never be overpowering, but it's now faster and more shrewdly placed than when he was younger, which proved pivotal against Moya.

Despite the tricky breeze, Agassi smacked eight aces, lost only seven of 38 points on his first serve and was never broken. That allowed him to finish off the No. 5-seeded Moya in 1 hour, 11 minutes.

With his sixth Key Biscayne championship, Agassi surpassed his wife, Steffi Graf, who won the tournament five times.

"I finally beat her at something," Agassi said with a grin during the trophy ceremony.

Graf watched the match holding their 17-month-old son, Jaden Gil.

"It's nerve-racking at times," she told CBS-TV. "You know exactly what's going on out there. You just hope for the best. It's hard because you can't do anything. You just have to sit here and watch."

Ranked No. 2, Agassi heads into the clay-court season as the player to beat.
