A hip problem reduced Andre Agassi to hobbling around the court as he suffered a heartbreaking five-set defeat to Jarkko Nieminen.
The 1999 champion had looked set to progress past the Finnish qualifier after moving into a 2-1 lead with victory in the third-set tie break.
However, the American began limping markedly and Nieminen began to take merciless advantage.
He took the fourth set 6-1 and strolled through the decider 6-0 as Agassi bravely refused to retire.
