Agassi and Serena turn up the heat as Ferreira crashes

AMERICAN stars Andre Agassi and Serena Williams turned up the heat at the French Open yesterday on a scorching day on the centre-court.

With temperatures soaring past 30°C, the two Americans booked their places in the last 16 with performances that set them up for the second week.

It was a good day too for the large Argentine contingent with big wins for red-hot Guillermo Coria and for battling Mariano Zabaleta.
