This must mean Andre Agassi's ankle is healing (I hope).
From the AP: Agassi requests wildcard for Delray Beach
Andre Agassi requested a wild card to play in the Delray Beach International Tennis Championships for the first time.
The tournament will be Jan. 30-Feb. 5. It would be the first event of the year for Agassi, who pulled out of the Australian Open on Wednesday because of a lingering ankle injury...
He also withdrew Wednesday from next week's Kooyong exhibition event.
"I plan to return to the court as soon as my ankle is fully recovered,'' Agassi said in a statement.
It's a matter of being fully prepared as well as the ankle being fully healed, I'm sure. He pulled out the Aus Open more b/c his training regimen is running behind schedule at this point than b/c his ankle isn't fully healed. Either that or he's just lining up playing opportunities in the hope that he'll be ready by 30 Jan.
