Agassi shocked as he crashes out of French Open

Former French Open champion Andre Agassi suffered a stunning first-round defeat at the hands of qualifier Jerome Haehnel as the tournament lost one of its favourites.

The sixth-seeded Agassi was stunned by the 23-year-old French player, who is ranked 271st in the world, and lost 6-4 7-6 (7/4) 6-3.

This was Haehnel’s debut in the main draw at Roland Garros and he was consistently too strong for the 34-year-old American, winning in just over two hours.
