well, experimentee, he's still having a lot of trouble holding and from what Eurosport is describing, he's not playing that well and Marat is. That doesn't really bode too well for Andre.

Well Andre is not playing well, but that doesnt mean he's done. Obviously players can raise their game after playing bad at the start. Andre is more than capable of that.
17:02 On break point for Agassi, one of the most important point of the match was won by Safin on the backhand .... Agassi applauds
17:00 Agassi puts a little more strength to his shots and wins two important rallies
