Agassi inducted into US Open Court of Champions

September 10, 2012 10:57

In other news: Andre Agassi reminisced about that first US Open trip 26 years ago, when he showed up "rocking a spiky, fluffy, two-tone mullet."

The teenager with a freshly minted driver's permit caught a bus too late and missed his practice time. He didn't miss much of anything else in more than two decades of visiting Flushing Meadows.

The two-time winner was inducted yesterday into the US Open Court of Champions at Arthur Ashe Stadium before the women's final. "I wish I had the words to describe the sound you make during critical matches, the roar, the applause, the love," the 42-year-old Agassi told the New York fans during the ceremony. "It's like a jet engine and a giant heartbeat."
