Agassi rules Down Under after Australian Open win
Andre Agassi won the Australian Open title by defeating Arnaud Clement 6-4 6-2 6-2 in Melbourne. He celebrated with a private postmatch swim, matching a late 1990s habit, as coach Brad Gilbert joined the splash. Agassi, 31 in April, joined a small group of major champions winning after 30, and he eyes more success at Roland Garros after a dominant final from the baseline.
