The update, from the Good News Network:
21 years ago today in 2002, tennis ace Andre Agassi claimed his 700th career match victory in nothing less than the final of the Miami Open, also called the Key Biscayne, or the Miami Masters, the largest tournament outside of the Grand Slam titles. 2002 began under stormy clouds and disappointment for Agassi, as injury forced him to skip the Australian Open, where he was a two-time defending champion. He recovered to beat Roger Federer in a 4-set final to claim number 700, as well as his 5th Miami Open title.
Only 18 Open-Era men’s singles athletes have passed 700 wins, and the victory was Agassi’s 52nd tournament win and his 13th master series victory. The Miami Masters were a rich vein for Agassi in his career, and he holds records for the most Miami Masters finals (8) most match wins (61), and longest consecutive winning streak across the series (19).
