It's crazy that he just skipped the Australian Open for the first 8 years of his career and then skipped Wimbledon for 3 years all by choice cause he didn't feel like it. That's 11 Majors he simply chose not to play. You'd have to think he'd have won at least 2 or 3 of those.
I am a big believer in not focusing on the past, but to continue to move on and move forward. Andre Agassi was my favorite tennis player. It was always a pleasure to watch him play. What he went through is what a lot of human beings go through. He showed that he was able to over come demons in his life to bring out the best in himself. Its so hard to watch tennis right now without him. Roger Federer is a great tennis player, but I there is no doubt I would rather watch Andre.
A wonderful ambassador for tennis, he appealed to a new generation which wanted to liven up the game. He was always so kind and compassionate when he lost and I’m so pleased he won the majors he did. A legend of the game.
So that man went out there, won on an elite level for years while existing on fast food 🤯. Andre is truly a living legend. A great tennis player but an even more fascinating human being. His story is one of the best tennis coming of age stories the sport has ever seen.
I had not been a big tv fan of tennis much when Sampras was winning in dramatic fashion but when Agassi played Sampras he showed me something his game was not dead because he rose up and returned Pete's unreturnable serves and play....at a time where as a view may be he did or didn't want to win...he showed brilliant play against Pete...and that meant there was still hope in his game whether he was willing to dig deep and get it was up to him...thanks I was happy and sure that Steffie would be the ying for his yang because she's was no nonsense and opposite the old Andre...thanks for the post good stuff,I couldn't keep up with the story and I read nicks book and was like oiivay.

Agassi the only player that won all majors, atp finals, and gold medal, all of this while he was half serious.
As a former college player and teaching pro for 35 years, I marvel at the journey of Agassi and the man he matured into. Kudos Andre.
Jim courier is a hyper competitive dude but the most gracious interview when it comes to other greats. Speaks very highly of both Sampras and Agassi.
I highly recommend his book “ Open”. Fantastic read.
Never liked tennis. Until I saw this guy
Agassi's book, "Open," was EXCELLENT...!!
I came here for the VHS tape hiss.

Andre the Giant - Left great memories... how I miss those years..
The shot at the
Definitely one of the coolest if not the coolest tennis player of all time.

I never really cared much for tennis but I always enjoyed watching Agassi.
Agassi had such a big influence. He influenced the modern generation in more ways than one.
My first favorite player. Thanks for keeping this online.
Anyone watching this definitely needs to check FO 1999. The circumstances surrounding it and the rise from the ashes. Truly inspiring.
Grew up watching Agassi McEnroe Borg Sampras et all and they were all greats with their own style of play and personalities.
