Agassi won his first match since March

The 34-year-old beat fellow American Alex Bogomolov Jr to become just the the sixth player to reach 800 wins since the Open era began in 1968.

He joins Jimmy Connors, Ivan Lendl, Guillermo Vilas, John McEnroe and Stefan Edberg.

"That's quite a group of guys to be in there with," said Agassi. "It's pretty special."

He added: "They probably accomplished it in half the time that it took me, but regardless, it feels good."

I can't just play one good match and get my hopes up Andre Agassi

Agassi went into the tournament in Los Angeles looking for his first win since March, and after recovering from a hip injury.

"I felt good as far as my movement was concerned," he said.

"I thought I was going to be a little bit more tentative, but I trusted my legs and pushed through it and I felt good.

"I felt like for the match I made a lot of good decisions. But I know it can only get better.
