Andre Agassi made quick work of David Prinosil, winning in straight sets. AP

LONDON (Reuters) -- Andre Agassi breezed into the Wimbledon quarterfinals on Monday, taking just one hour 44 minutes to overcome German qualifier David Prinosil 6-4, 6-3, 6-3.

The former champion and second seed looked relaxed in the early evening sun on court one as he outgunned Prinosil with a swinging serve and ferocious groundstrokes.

An increasingly frustrated Prinosil put all he had into his serves to try to neutralize Agassi's famous returns, but succeeded only in producing double faults on key points.

The German took time out for treatment to his lower back after the second set.

Agassi won the first set with an ace, the second with an inch-perfect lob and the third with another ace.
