Thursday night was a thriller for both Andre Agassi and Rafael Nadal. Both had tough matches and Agassi has decided he wants to play every single set of his last matches.

Andre Agassi had a tough match playing 8th seeded Marcos Baghdatis in the second eound of the US Open. Monday night rumor has it that Agassi had a cortisone shot in his back, then he proceeded to limp around the next day, warm and Wednesday and come out and play a 5 set match against the 8th seeded player.

And Win!

Agassi beat him in front of over 23,000 people in Arthur Ashe Stadium Thursday night, 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 5-7, 7-5.

Agassi is scheduled to play on Saturday again against Benjamin Becker who beat Grosjean in the second round. Weather might be a little poor this weekend in NYC due to the hurricanes/tropical storms picking up speed but there may be a chance the 36 year old can pull out career win 869.
