Andre Agassi won the $2.2-million Paris Open on Sunday with a 6-3, 6-3, 4-6, 7-5 victory over Marc Rosset of Switzerland and moved to No. 2 in the world rankings.
“The best thing is to win Grand Slam tournaments,” said Agassi, the 1992 Wimbledon and 1994 U.S. Open champion. “Hopefully, some day you can say, ‘Yeah, I was No. 1 for a while or for this long.’ But to win the Grand Slam tournaments is what is most important to me.”
