Andre Kirk Agassi was born on April 29, 1970, in the United States. He used to be the best tennis player in the world. He has won eight majors and won the gold medal at the Olympics. He has also come in second in seven other majors. Agassi is thought to be one of the best tennis players of all time by most people.
Agassi is the second man to win a career Grand Slam in the Open Era. He is also the fifth man to do so overall. He is also one of only two men to win a career Grand Slam and an Olympic gold medal. He is also the only man to win a career Super Slam (career Grand Slam, plus the Olympic gold medal and the year-end championships).
Agassi was the first man to win all four singles majors on three different surfaces (hard, clay, and grass), and he is still the last American to win the French Open (1999) and the Australian Open (in 2003). He also won 17 Masters titles and played on Davis Cup teams that won in 1990, 1992, and 1995.
Do you know that on December 4, Matt Damon and Luciana Barroso, who have been married for 17 years, went to the 45th Annual Kennedy Center Honors in Washington, DC? The couple went to the ceremony to support Julia Roberts’ dress designer, George Clooney, and George Clooney, a friend of Damon’s who was also being honored:
Agassi was world No. 1 for the first time in 1995, but he had personal problems in the middle and late 1990s, which caused him to drop to No. 141 in 1997. This made many people think that his career was over. Agassi went back to being No. 1 in 1999, and the next four years were the best of his career. Agassi was known as “The Punisher” during his more than 20 years on the tour.
Agassi won more than $30 million over the course of his career, making him the sixth-highest-paid tennis player of all time after Djokovic, Federer, Nadal, Sampras, and Murray (May 2018). During his career, which was the fourth best in all sports at the time, he also made more than $25 million a year from endorsements.
What About Andre Agassi’s Personal Life? Who is He Married to?
After dating Wendi Stewart at the start of the 1990s, Agassi went out with the American singer and actress Barbra Streisand. He wrote about the relationship in his 2009 autobiography –
“We agree that we’re good for each other, and so what if she’s twenty-eight years older? We’re sympatico, and the public outcry only adds spice to our connection. It makes our friendship feel forbidden, taboo – another piece of my overall rebellion. Dating Barbra Streisand is like wearing Hot Lava.”
From 1997 to 1999, he was married to Brooke Shields. On October 22, 2001, he married Steffi Graf at their home in Las Vegas. Only their mothers were there to see it. They have a son, Jaden Gil, who was born in 2001, and a daughter, Jaz Elle (born 2003).
Agassi has said that he and Graf don’t try to get their kids to play tennis. The Graf-Agassi family lives in a town in the Las Vegas Valley called Summerlin. There also live Graf’s mother and his brother Michael and his four kids.
People have said that Agassi’s longtime trainer Gil Reyes is one of his best friends and that he is like a father figure to him. Agassi and Reyes came out with BILT By Agassi and Reyes, their own line of fitness equipment, in 2012. Perry Rogers, Agassi’s childhood friend and former business manager, sued Graf in December 2008 for $50,000 in fees he said she owed him for managing her business.
