Andre Agassi [ Images ] has made himself available for the United States' Davis Cup tie against Chile in California next month.

Agassi took himself out of consideration for the U.S.'s first-round win over Romania in February because he had just come back from an ankle injury.

But the 35-year-old eight-times Grand Slam champion said he believes his game will come good for the grass court home tie from Aprril 7-9 and is hoping captain Patrick McEnroe considers him.

"If Patrick concludes that I'm his next best option and he can convince me of that, then I would play," Agassi told reporters from The Pacific Life Open, where he is the eighth seed.

McEnroe will face a tough decision in picking the two singles players for his team.

Since he took over as captain six years ago, McEnroe has chosen world number three Andy Roddick [ Images ] to play on every one of his teams when he's been healthy, and with the rise of James Blake [ Images ] to number 14 in the rankings, there might not be a spot for Agassi, the second most successful player in US Davis Cup history.

Blake, Roddick and the world number one doubles team of Bob and Mike Bryan [ Images ] led the US to a 4-1 victory over Romania.

But Agassi feels he might earn himself a spot on the squad with strong performances at the Pacific Life Open and in Miami [ Images ] at the end of the month.

"A lot can go right for anybody in these next few weeks," Agassi said.
