Gonzalez stuns Agassi to reach final
08:59:16 �.�
Washington, Aug 3 - Chile's Fernando Gonzalez stunned world number one Andre Agassi 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (7/5) here Saturday, ousting his boyhood idol to reach the final of the 600,000-dollar ATP Washington classic final.

In what he called the greatest triumph of his career, Gonzalez ended the eight-time grand slam champion's bid for his sixth crown here in their first career meeting.

"It's a dream come true," Gonzalez said. "I grew up watching and enjoying how Andre plays. I've been watching him play since 15 years ago. I don't think he knows who I am so that's good for me. I really enjoyed this moment. I was happy just to be on the court against Andre. I beat him so I'm double happy. It's amazing."
