It may just have been the sting of losing badly in front of a home crowd but Andre Agassi sounded like a man at the end of his tether, as though he is finally losing patience and the battle to prolong his career into his late 30s.
Agassi will be 36 next month and though he has never been one to take defeat well, his reaction to being beaten 7-5, 6-2 by Tommy Haas in the third round of the Pacific Life Open suggested he will struggle to make it as far as Wimbledon, let alone to the end of the season. 【您現(xiàn)在閱讀的文章來自“中國人才指南網(wǎng)”，請記住我們的永久域名：www.ardmore-hotel.com 】
"It#39;s been a long time since I#39;ve felt good on the court. It#39;s just getting tiring, that#39;s all," Agassi said. "It never feels good when you#39;re losing often. You know, to have a few good wins and have a good tournament would help me, remind me right now why I#39;m doing this. But as of right now it#39;s hard to feel that thrilled about it."
Agassi sustained an ankle injury playing racketball last October which forced him to pull out of the Masters Cup after one match and then miss the Australian Open. He has played eight matches since reaching the US Open final in September, winning only four, and his failure to regain any kind of form since returning to the tour in February has worn his patience as bald as his pate.
"When I really look at where I am, tearing the ligaments in my ankle was a bigger setback than I even anticipated it could be," the Las Vegan said.
Agassi has won eight grand slam titles and 60 tournaments in all during a career that began in 1986, reaching the world No1 ranking in April 1995 and for the last eight years ending the season inside the top 10. His 20 years in the game have seen him come back from various injuries and, in 1997, a career-threatening slump that saw him fall to No141 in the world. He recovered from that to climb back to No1 and five of his grand slam trophies were won after that resurrection.
This time, though, he sounded as though he had run out of comebacks. "Each one feels different. Each one has a whole new set of reasons and answers," he said when asked if the current malaise felt different from anything he had previously experienced.
"I mean, it#39;s a delicate juggling act to try to balance everything in your life on and off the court, negotiate your health, everything that goes into being your best at every stage. It absolutely feels substantially different."
Having already announced that he intends to miss the clay-court season, Agassi goes to next week#39;s Nasdaq 100 in Miami knowing it will be his last event before the grass-court season begins in June. "Missing the clay this year is the best alternative," he said, "but it doesn#39;t change the reality of where my play#39;s at right now."
美國網(wǎng)壇老將阿加西在日前的一場比賽中不敵對手，賽后他坦言，自己對比賽已經(jīng)感到有些疲倦；并暗示說，或許不久后他就會選擇掛拍。
失利讓阿加西倍感沮喪
據(jù)《衛(wèi)報》3月15日報道，在美國印第安威爾士太平洋壽險杯網(wǎng)球公開賽男子單打第3輪的一場較量中，美國網(wǎng)壇“常青樹”阿加西以5-7，2-6不敵哈斯。賽后，從來也不把失利當(dāng)回事的阿加西顯得非常沮喪，他表示自己或許頂多還能堅持到英國溫布爾登網(wǎng)球賽，至于以后的比賽就很難說了。
下個月就將年滿36歲的阿加西15日在接受媒體采訪時顯得非常無奈，他說：“長期以來我在場上一直感覺良好，但現(xiàn)在開始感覺有些疲憊了，就是這樣�！薄爱�(dāng)你在場上總是輸球時，你就會失去愉快的心情。幾場比賽的勝利以及一次表現(xiàn)良好的大賽將對我有很大幫助，讓我感到有理由繼續(xù)打下去。但就目前而言，我已經(jīng)很難感到比賽帶給我的激動了�！�
復(fù)出后難找昔日狀態(tài)
去年10月份，阿加西在一次比賽中腳踝受傷，之后一直未能痊愈的阿加西因此還錯過了今年1月的澳大利亞網(wǎng)球公開賽。統(tǒng)計顯示，自去年9月進入美國網(wǎng)球公開賽男子單打決賽以后，阿加西一共只參加了8場比賽，其中勝負各半。今年2月復(fù)出以來，阿加西一直沒有找回昔日的狀態(tài)，而過多的失利也幾乎磨去了他所有的耐心。他說：“回首往事，我現(xiàn)在才發(fā)現(xiàn)腳踝傷病對我的打擊遠比我想象的要大得多�！�
自1986年出道以來，阿加西一共獲得了8次大滿貫賽事的冠軍頭銜，此外還在其他60場比賽中稱雄。1995年4月，阿加西榮登男子單打世界排名第一寶座。最近的8年中，阿加西在年終排名中也始終位列前10名。在阿加西20年的職業(yè)網(wǎng)球生涯中，他受傷無數(shù)，但沒有一次能讓他遠離賽場。1997年阿加西遭遇了職業(yè)生涯的“滑鐵盧”，排名一路下跌到世界第141位。但憑借著一股韌勁，阿加西硬是重新奪回了男子單打第一的寶座，并在其后拿到了5次大滿貫賽事的冠軍獎杯。
對未來明顯缺乏信心
然而，在太平洋壽險杯輸給哈斯之后，阿加西對于自己的未來明顯表現(xiàn)出了缺乏信心。
在被問及現(xiàn)在是否有一種前所未有的難言之隱時，阿加西是這樣回答的：“每個人對于自己莫名的傷痛都會有自己的答案，每個人的感受都不同�！彼f：“我的意思是，要想將場上場下生活中所有的事情都雜耍般地搞定的確很難�！庇捎趥〉仍�，阿加西宣布下周在美國邁阿密舉行的納斯達克100網(wǎng)球賽將是他今年參加的最后一項紅土場地的比賽，之后他要全力備戰(zhàn)6月開始的草地球場比賽�！斑@是我目前最好的選擇，”他說：“但這并不意味著我有任何實質(zhì)性地改變。”
