US evergreen Andre Agassi has escaped another first round defeat and gained a measure of revenge when his opponent Mardy Fish retired at 4-6, 7-6, 4-1 in the Cincinnati Masters.

American Fish, last year's losing finalist, quit in the third set because of a back injury, allowing the former world number one to advance to the second round.

Agassi, who has been struggling to find his form in recent months, was beaten by Fish in a tense match in the semi-final of the Siebel Open in February.

He lost in the first round of the French Open in May, one of three consecutive opening round defeats, and missed Wimbledon.
