   # The shortest Australian Open final in the Open Era since the event became respectable (eleven minutes shorter than their duel on the same court two years later). Agassi’s [2] fourth and last Aussie Open title, eight years after claiming the first one. “There’s not a lot to say,” Schuettler said. “I tried my best, but he was simply too good for me today.” The German [36] had no chance in Melbourne, but several months later surprisingly defeats Agassi 2-6, 6-2, 6-3 in the Montreal quarterfinals…

   Agassi’s route to his 55th title (his 8th and last Grand Slam):
   1 Brian Vahaly 7-5, 6-3, 6-3
   2 Hyung-Taik Lee 6-1, 6-0, 6-0
   3 Nicolas Escude 6-2, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4
   4 Guillermo Coria 6-1, 3-1 ret.
   Q Sebastien Grosjean 6-3, 6-2, 6-2
   S Wayne Ferreira 6-2, 6-2, 6-3
   W Rainer Schuettler 6-2, 6-2, 6-1

   # Comparison of their two Aussie Open matches:
   2003: Agassi d. Schuettler 6-2, 6-2, 6-1… 1 hour 16 minutes… Total points: 80-43
