Top-ranked Andre Agassi became the first player to advance to the semifinals of the ATP Tour World Championship by beating Gustavo Kuerten 6-4, 7-5 Thursday.
Agassi didn’t drop a set in his three Red Group matches. Kuerten, a Brazilian ranked No. 3 in the world, was the first player to break Agassi’s serve in the tournament.
The Red Group will be decided Friday, when Pete Sampras (1-1) plays Nicolas Lapentti (0-2). Kuerten (1-2) could still advance. Sampras needs to win a set to advance.
In the White Group, Nicolas Kiefer beat Todd Martin 6-3, 6-2 to stay alive and Yevgeny Kafelnikov outlasted Thomas Enqvist 7-5, 3-6, 6-4.
