Andre Agassi has no plans to retire from tennis after pushing Roger Federer hard before losing 6-3 2-6 7-6 6-1 in the US Open final on Sunday.

The 35-year-old has fielded numerous questions this year about his plans and eyebrows were raised when he thanked the crowd for their support over his 20 consecutive years at the US Open.

But at a news conference, he said he would continue to play.

"My intention is to keep working and keep doing what I am doing," Agassi said.

"The only thing better than the last 20 years (at the US Open) will be 21."

Agassi has won eight grand slam titles and is one of only five men to have won all four grand slam events.
