Tennis: Graf sits it out

Andre Agassi has revealed that Steffi Graf's proposed return to tennis in the mixed doubles event at the French Open now appears unlikely.

Agassi vowed that he would try to convince the 22-time grand slam champion from Germany to partner him in Paris this May after winning the Australian Open.

But yesterday the American said that his best efforts might not be good enough.

"I'm starting to get some dialogue, but it's a slow process," Agassi said.
