当和他同时代的擅长发球和上网的桑普拉斯和善于奔跑的张德培宣布退役以后，1970年出生的善于底线回拍的阿加西依然留在网球场上，尽管已经36岁了，他依然是比他小10多岁的选手心中不可忽视的对手。
BEIJING, Sept. 4 (Xinhuanet)—Andre Agassi ended his two-decade professional tennis Sunday after being knocked out by German qualifier Benjamin Becker in the third round of U.S. Open in New York.
The 25-year-old Becker, who entered the competition ranked 112th, won 7-5，6-7，6-4 over Agassi, who was ranked 39, in the match held in the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Forest Hills, Queens.
After it finished, Agassi then sat in his chair and put a towel to his familiar face. He was already starting to cry.
The crowd of over 23,000 stayed on their feet and cheered for several minutes applauding, while Becker was standing and clapping, too.
Agassi then rose and blew four more kisses to the crowd, and eventually took the microphone from the on-court reporter and gave a speech instead of an interview with his voice breaking.
“The scoreboard said I lost today,” said Agassi, his voice breaking with emotion, “but what the scoreboard doesn’t say is what it is I have found.”
“You have willed me to achieve even in my lowest moments,” he added, “You have given me your shoulders to stand on to reach for my dreams, dreams that I could not have reached without you.”
During the match, Agassi was unable to play his normal game. At change of ends, even there were moments when he barely seemed able to walk. He said that back pain flared, affected his game. “The pain came quickly; it can do that and it did, you immediately start cutting corners.”
Agassi’s two-decade career record includes 868 wins and 273 losses. He appeared 20 times in the U.S. Open, winning the event in 1994 and in 1999. He won a total of eight Grand Slam titles, covering the U.S., French and Australian Opens, and Wimbledon.
北京9月4日新华网——安德烈·阿加西周日在参加美国纽约的美国网球公开赛的第三轮比赛中被德国选手本杰明·贝克击败，并从此结束其20年的网球职业生涯。
25岁的贝克以世界排名第112位的成绩进入本次赛会，在与排名第39位的阿加西的比赛中，他以7比5、6比7和6比4的比分胜出。这场比赛在皇后区森林山的比列·让王国家网球中心举行。
赛后，阿加西坐在椅子上，用毛巾遮住了那张我们熟悉的面容，已经泣不成声。
两万三千多名观众起立鼓掌达数分钟之久，贝克也站着鼓掌。
然后，阿加西起身对四周的观众送出四个飞吻，并最终从在场记者手中接过麦克风，没有接受采访，而是断断续续的进行了一次演讲。
“记分牌显示，今天我输了。”阿加西深有感触地说着，话音时断时续，“不过记分牌没有显示的正是我所发现的。”
“你们，在我最低潮的时候，都想我赢。”他继续说着，“你们借给我肩膀，让我站在上面追寻梦想，没有你们，我不可能追寻到那些梦想。”
在比赛中，阿加西不在状态。换边的时候，有好一会他甚至连走路都很困难。他说，背部的伤痛开始发作，并直接影响了他在比赛中的发挥。“病痛来得很快，它轻而易举地让你陷入困境。”
阿加西在其20年的职业生涯中创造了868胜273负的纪录。他在美国公开赛中出场20次，并在1994和1999年的比赛中夺冠。他总共获得了8项大满贯赛事冠军，包括美国公开赛、法国公开赛、澳大利亚公开赛和温布尔顿公开赛。
