Agassi's comeback
By Sean Callahan

Andre Agassi is returning to tennis. He's going to compete in the Outback Champions Series for the first time when he plays in the The Cancer Treatment Centers of America Tennis Championships at Surprise, Ariz., on Oct. 8-11. The Outback Champions Series is for former pros age 30 and over. Agassi is now 38. Doesn't that make you feel old? When Agassi appeared on the tennis scene as a teenager, he appeared to be destined to be a flash in the pan. The "image is everything" ads for the Canon "Rebel" only hurt his image at the time. It took him awhile, but Agassi eventually fulfilled his potential. His matches in the U.S. Open are classics. Agassi became arguably the most complete player of his era, winning the four major titles -- Wimbledon, U.S. Open, Australian Open and French Open -- for the career Grand Slam. He's only one of five men to do so. The are others Rod Laver, Don Budge, Roy Emerson and Fred Perry. Agassi also proved himself to be of substance, and not just image, off the court: He started the Andre Agassi Foundation, which is focused on improving public education. Agassi should be a Masters athlete icon, proof that you can get better on and off the court as you age. The Outback Champions Series is lucky to host his comeback.
