Wimbledon: Andre Agassi bowed out of Wimbledon for the final time on Saturday, out-slugged in straight sets by Rafael Nadal.
Playing in his 14th and last Wimbledon before retirement later this year, the 36-year-old American couldn't keep up with the relentless power hitting of the 20-year-old Spaniard and fell 7-6 (5), 6-2, 6-4.
Nadal, the two-time French Open champion, transferred his clay-court baseline game to the grass of centre court to reach the fourth round of Wimbledon for the first time.
It marked the changing of the guard, with the popular American leaving the All England Club stage for good and Nadal making his breakthrough on the fast surface.
Nadal had just turned 6 when Agassi won the first of his eight Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon in 1992.
