Agassi Is Graf's No. 1

Tennis star Andre Agassi says life has thrown him a curve in the form of another tennis great, Steffi Graf.

The two have been rumored to be romantically linked, and on Thursday Agassi told CBS Affiliate KLAS-TV in Las Vegas the relationship "has probably come on a little quicker than anticipated."

When asked if the two were serious, Agassi says he sees Graf as a special person and he really likes the way he feels around her.

Agassi, a Las Vegas resident, and Graf have been seen around town together, most recently at Saturday's De La Hoya-Trinidad boxing match.

Agassi and actress Brooke Shields divorced in April after two years of marriage. Graf, who retired from tennis during the summer, recently split with racing driver Michael Bartels, her boyfriend of seven years.

Agassi, the world's Number One player, will host his annual benefit concert Saturday night at the MGM Grand.
