Whoever tried to rename Marcelo Rios "The Chilean Agassi" missed by more than a hair.

Andre Agassi laughed at the comparison when he heard it two days ago. "I'm not sure if you just insulted me or gave me a compliment," he told a journalist. "I don't have long hair anymore, man."

While Agassi is outgoing, a national treasure in the world of sports interviews, Rios is almost reclusive - except for his mandatory postmatch interviews.
