The farewells to Andre Agassi pouring in from far and wide, during this and next week's U.S. Open, are deep and heartfelt. This is the last time we will see the champion play the game he partly reinvented and there is no doubt that he will be sorely missed. It's not that men's tennis doesn't have its charismatic stars at the moment. The dual between polar opposites, the debonair and flapless Roger Federer and the fiery matador Rafael Nadal, brings excitement and intrigue to every major tournament. The fluidly athletic Andy Roddick, my pick to win the Open this year, openly emotes, as did his new coach, 5-time Open-champ Jimmy Connors, and that kind of vulnerability is always a draw. Andre's retirement won't leave a void, but we will surely miss him...<br>
