Agassi stays on course

AFP, London
Second seed and former champion Andre Agassi of the United States moved into the fourth round of the men's singles at Wimbledon on Saturday with a 5-7, 6-4, 7-6 (7/4), 7-6 (7/4) win in 3hr 13min over Moroccan 27th seed Younes El Aynaoui.
Agassi next meets Australian bighitter Mark Philippoussis after seeing off El Aynaoui for the fifth time in as many meetings.
The Las Vegan, titlist here for his first Major crown in 1992, saved one break point in the 11th game but the Moroccan nailed the break when the Las Vegan hit long following a superb piece of retrieval from his rival, a high return landing plum on the baseline.
An Agassi crosscourt backhand long gave El Aynaoui, a fellow veteran at 31, two set points and a huge serve clinched it.
In the second set Agassi missed a break point in the fourth game but broke at the first time of asking in the tenth game to level the contest as the pendulum swung inexorably towards the 33-year-old.
In the third set Agassi repeatedly came to the net but was getting little change out of the Moroccan serve, an ace from the challenger allowing him to hold at 6-6.
But in the ensuing tiebreak a controversial line call moved Agassi 4-1 clear and the former champion, playing Wimbledon for the 13th time, moved two sets to one clear with a superlative backhand.
Still El Aynaoui kept on fighting -as befitted a man who took US young gun Andy Roddick to 21-19 in
the fifth set in the quarterfinal of the Australian Open in January.
But at the last Agassi's big-match experience saw him through despite coming off second best on the ace count 12-19 as the American came through another tiebreak in similar fashion, El Aynaoui smashing his racquet as he conceded an early minibreak.
Defending champion Serena Williams of the United States said she was serving well and in the groove for the serious stuff of the second week at the champions after beating 28th-seed Laura Granville 6-3, 6-1 on Saturday to reach the fourth round.
She now faces Elena Dementieva, the Russian 15th seed, whom she has never faced but whom she knows from watching her take on sister and two-time champion Venus.
Serena spent just 54min out on court and banged down seven aces while winning 86 per cent of points on her first serve to crush any hopes Granville, a 22-year-old from Chicago, had of causing an upset.
Rising Russian star Maria Sharapova scored a sensational 64, 6-4 win over 11th seed Jelena Dokic to move into the last 16.
The 16-year-old Sharapova, dubbed the Scream Queen for her grunting - which she has kept in check here - won in 1hr 17min as she finished off her 20-year-old Serbian rival with a powerful ace.
She now meets fellow Russian and 33rd seed Svetlana Kuznetsova, who brushed past Emilie Loit of France 6-1, 6-2.
