Las Vegas' Andre Agassi was too busy trying to beat Andy Roddick to even think about their age difference.

Agassi, who will be 33 on Tuesday, rallied to beat 20-year-old Roddick 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 on Sunday in the final of the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships in Houston.

"Inside the lines I don't see age," Agassi said. "It's about what your game is, what you have to bring to the table. You have to deal with somebody else and they have to deal with you no matter how old youare."

Agassi won his 58th career title a day after becoming the oldest man player to hold the No. 1 ranking.
