Andre Agassi qualified for the Tennis Masters Cup in China, leaving only two spots open in the season-ending showcase. Agassi made the eight-player field for the Nov. 7-13 event in Shanghai when David Nalbandian lost Saturday in the Swiss Indoors semifinals. Already in the field are Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Andy Roddick, Lleyton Hewitt and Marat Safin. The final two spots, as well as an alternate, will be determined at this week’s Paris Masters.
– Top-seeded Roddick beat France’s Gael Monfils 6-3, 6-2 to win the Lyon (France) Grand Prix, completing the tournament without dropping serve.
– Fernando Gonzalez of Chile defeated qualifier Marcos Baghdatis 6-7 (8), 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 to win the Swiss Indoors title in Basel.
– Top seed Kim Clijsters won before a home crowd in Hasselt, Belgium, defeating Italy’s Francesca Schiavone 6-2, 6-3 in the Gaz de France Stars final.
