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.

16:49 Agassi stands back of the court and tries to play on Safin's backhand to win points and that could pay off if Safin doesn't serve as well as he is now

He's not done, just needs to tweak his game a little :)
Well if anyone's capable of doing that mid-match it's Andre, but from the sound of things he hasn't done it yet so that's kind of a problem;)
