TENNIS: Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf have married in a small, private ceremony in Las Vegas. Agassi (31), and Graf (32), are expecting their first child - a boy - in December. The couple began dating after each won their side of the French Open in 1999. Graf retired in 1999.
Agassi was previously married to actress Brooke Shields. It is Graf's first marriage.
In September, Agassi said the couple planned to hold off marriage until after their son was born. He said at the time he and Graf would wait to marry "until the little one is around and everybody (has) kind of recovered".
SQUASH: Ireland face a crunch preliminary group match against Hong Kong at the World Team Championships in Melbourne today following their 3-0 defeat at the hands of top seeds Australia yesterday.

CYCLING: With the Herald Sun Tour passing its midway point, Irish amateur Tommy Evans remains in 10th place overall after yesterday's eventful eight leg, a criterium on the streets of Bendigo. Most of the drama took place before the stage when many of the riders threatened to boycott the race because of treacherous conditions caused by driving rain.
After heated discussions between the race organisers and the field, it was decided the stage would go ahead but that the result would not count towards the overall classification. The 73 riders duly started the race, but only 15 made it to the chequered flag as many pulled out due to the dangerous conditions.
The nullified stage still offered prize-money for the first 10 across the line with top honours going to Jay Sweet.
CYCLING: Marco Pantani had his conviction for sporting fraud overturned by the Court of Appeal yesterday.
Pantani had been sentenced to a suspended three-month prison term for doping-related allegations surrounding the 1995 Milan-Turin classic but yesterday the court ruled "the deed was not enshrined in law as an offence".
Pantani, the 1998 Giro d'Italia and Tour de France champion, had been admitted to hospital during the race and tests revealed the rider had a haematocrit level of 60.1 per cent in his blood. That figure was way in excess of the 50 per cent threshold that is taken as an indicator a rider has taken the banned substance EPO.
