It is almost hard to watch when a sports legend struggles on the court, field, or diamond. But it is inevitable for all athletes to struggle at one time or another. This time it was tennis legend Andre Agassi After hurting himself in his first-round match at the French Open while up two sets to one, he lost to qualifier Jarkko Nieminen It was only the latest in Agassi's French Open struggles -he has lost two years in a row in the first round to qualifiers and has not advanced further than the quarter finals since winning the tournament in 1999.

Agassi is easily one of the greatest tennis players of all time and after being near the bottom of the game less than a decade ago has had one of the most impressive and successful comebacks in tennis history. The question now becomes, when will the 35-year-old Agassi hang it up for good? Thirty-five may not seem old in other professional sports, but in tennis it is almost unheard of to compete at Agassi's level at his age. No matter when he retires his career will be one of the most celebrated in sports history.

"Andre Agassi is truly a special athlete and a special person," said WagerWeb.com CEO Dave Johnson. "It is tough to see him struggle as he has done lately, but Agassi has enough in him to make one last run at a CHAMPIONSHIP and our customers agree by making a large amount of wagers on Agassi to win another Grand Slam before he retires."
