Andre Agassi retires after U.S. Open third round defeat

A career for the ages came to a close when Andre Agassi lost to the 112th-ranked Benjamin Becker in the third round at the U.S. Open on Sunday.

Andre Agassi's remarkable career ended in the U.S. Open on Sunday when he lost to German qualifier Benjamin Becker, 7-5 6-7 6-4 7-5.

Suffering from severe back pain and unable to draw strength from the wildly partisan crowd, the 36-year-old Agassi sobbed uncontrollably after a prolonged standing ovation following his defeat. He is one of only five men to win all four grand slams.
