In his 21-year career, he won 60 individual titles, eight of them in Grand Slam tournaments. He won the Australian Open four times , the US Open twice, and Wimbledon and the French Open once each . As one of only eight players, Agassi won all four Grand Slam tournaments at least once, being the first player in tennis history to do so on three different surfaces; He completed his career grand slam in 1999 by winning the French Open. Roger Federer followed in 2009, Rafael Nadal in 2010 and Novak Đoković in 2016 . At the 1996 Olympics , he won the gold medal in singles; he led the US to three Davis Cup victories. He is one of the dominant players of the 1990s and early 2000s.

Tennis career

Adolescence

Agassi was prepared for a tennis career by his father at a young age. The father took care of For example, Agassi was able to train with tennis legends such as Jimmy Connors and Roscoe Tanner at an early age . At 13, Agassi was then in the tennis academy of Nick Bollettieri added to Florida. There he already acquired the reputation of a rebel, which made him world famous in his first years as a professional - among other things because of his long, wild hair and his preference for brightly colored and flashy playwear. In 1986, at the age of 15, Agassi left the academy to join the professional tour.

Rebel image and first successes (1986–1991)

Agassi won his first match on the professional tour in February 1986 against the American John Austin . During the season he was able to reach the quarter-finals at the tournament in Stratton Mountain. He finished his first season as a professional in 91st place in the world rankings . At the end of the 1987 season, he secured his first professional title in Itaparica , Brazil. Before that, he had made a few quarter-finals and semi-finals as well as a place in the finals. He finished the season in 25th place in the world rankings.

In the 1988 season Agassi had for the first time notable successes in important tournaments. He reached the semi-finals at the French Open and the US Open ; so he made the final leap among the best players in the world. He finished the year with six tournament wins in third place in the world rankings and continued to cause a stir with his rebel image. From the 1988 season he gave up participating in the prestigious tournament at Wimbledon for three years . Outwardly, he criticized the rigid dress code of the tradition-conscious event. But there were also legitimate doubts as to whether Agassi's style of play was even suitable for the fast turf of the British Open.

In the 1989 season, Agassi's rise to the top of world tennis was slowed for the first time. He won his first title of the season in October of that year and failed at the French Open in the third round. At the US Open, however, Agassi played his way back to the semi-finals, where he again lost to Ivan Lendl . In the world rankings, Agassi slipped to 7th place. The 1990 season brought him forward again; so he was able to reach the final of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time at the French Open . In the final, however, he had to admit defeat Andrés Gómez . Agassi also reached the final at the US Open, this time losing to his young compatriot Pete Sampras . This defeat formed the prelude to a long-term, media-effective rivalry that Agassi and Sampras should offer on and next to the tennis courts. At the end of the season, Agassi achieved two more great successes: winning the Davis Cup with the American team and winning the ATP World Championship in the final against Stefan Edberg . Agassi thus ended the 1990 season with a total of four titles in fourth place in the world rankings.

In the 1991 season he suffered his third defeat in a Grand Slam final, in his second French Open final he had to bow to Jim Courier . Agassi then decided to compete in the Wimbledon tournament for the first time in three years. In traditional white sportswear, he played his way up to the quarter-finals. The second half of the season was less successful with a defeat in the Davis Cup final and failure in the semi-finals of the World Cup. Two victories of the season were just enough to remain in the top ten of the world rankings.

The 1992 season should bring the final breakthrough for the now 21-year-old. After a moderate first third of the season, he initially failed at the French Open in the semifinals to Courier. At Wimbledon, however, Agassi played his way into the final with victories against former titleholders such as Boris Becker and John McEnroe , in which he defeated Goran Ivanišević in five sets - the first Grand Slam title of his career. At the US Open, Agassi once again lost to his compatriot Courier in the quarterfinals. In December, he then managed the second Davis Cup victory with the American team. In the world rankings, Agassi was able to improve his three titles by one place to 9th at the end of the season.

Instead of the expected further increase, the 1993 season brought mainly injury concerns and relatively early defeats at important tournaments. Agassi could not take part in the French Open this year and failed in Wimbledon in the quarterfinals to Pete Sampras. At the US Open, he was eliminated in the first round and in winter he had to undergo wrist surgery. With two season titles in the spring, he finished the season in 24th place in the world rankings.

After Agassi dropped out of the top 30 in the world rankings in 1994, despite a good start to the season with his first tournament win in Scottsdale , his long-time coach Nick Bolletieri announced the separation. Agassi now worked with Brad Gilbert , who helped him develop a new, more focused game. In Miami Agassi reached the final, but had to admit defeat at both the French Open and Wimbledon in the first week of the tournament. In the hard court season, however, he made a comeback with the second title of the season in Toronto . At the US Open he still had to compete as an unset player and he was able to defeat Michael Stich in the final . In his second Grand Slam title, Agassi was the first player since 1966 to win the US Open as an unset participant. His season four and five brought Agassi to second place in the world rankings at the end of the season, the highest position for him to date.

The 1995 season should bring Agassi even further forward. His decision to shave off his long hair, his previous trademark, caused a stir. In 2009, however, Agassi revealed that by this time it was only a hairpiece after he had lost more and more hair. At the beginning of the year he took part in the Australian Open for the first time in his career and was able to win it straight away (in the final against Pete Sampras). During the season, the rivalry between Agassi and Sampras reached its peak. The two met in a total of five finals and Agassi won three games. In April 1995 he was at the top of the tennis world rankings for the first time. In Paris and Wimbledon, Agassi then surprisingly had to admit prematurely twice. Just in time for the American hard-court season, the duel between Agassi and Sampras increased in intensity again. Agassi was the tournament favorite at the last Grand Slam tournament of the year because he had won all of his four preparatory tournaments for the US championships and competed at the US Open with a winning streak of 20 games. Sampras, on the other hand, had only been able to reach one more final after winning the tournament at Wimbledon and lost it to Agassi in Montreal. As hoped by the public, Agassi and Sampras played their way into the final of the US Open relatively easily. Agassi only had to go the full distance of five sets in his second round match against Spaniard Àlex Corretja . In a close game, Sampras was finally able to triumph 6: 4, 6: 3, 4: 6 and 7: 5. Only in October did Agassi intervene again in the tournament and in November lost the lead in the world rankings again to Sampras.

In the 1996 season, Agassi could not offer his compatriot Sampras the competition he had hoped for. Agassi reached the semi-finals at the Australian Open and US Open during the season, but had to admit defeat to Michael Chang . With a total of three season titles, Agassi finished the season in 8th place in the world rankings. At the Olympic Games in Atlanta he achieved his biggest success of the season by winning the Olympic gold medal against the Spaniard Sergi Bruguera .

Crash and comeback (1997–1999)

The 1997 season marked the low point in Agassi's career. At the Australian Open, the French Open and at Wimbledon, he was unable to compete after another wrist injury. In San José he had reached the semi-finals, but after that it was not until the US Open in August that he could win three matches in a row. In between there were a total of seven first round defeats. Even more than his appearance on the tennis court, the turbulent marriage to actress Brooke Shields caused a sensation. After losing at the US Open in the round of 16, Agassi fell out of the top 100 in the world rankings and had to take part in two Challenger tournaments in November to slowly work his way up again from 141st place with a tournament victory and a final participation. In his 2009 autobiography, Agassi admitted using the drug crystal meth during his 1997 performance crisis .

From the 1998 season onwards, Agassi concentrated entirely on his tennis career. He began with a consistent fitness program, and gradually changed his behavior on the pitch. In the following years, Agassi even became a role model for younger players. The changes also paid off relatively quickly in terms of sport. Already in January 1998 Agassi reached a semi-final on the ATP Tour and the round of 16 at the Australian Open, in February he won another tournament in the highest category in San José. In the other three Grand Slam tournaments, Agassi was denied great success, but with a total of five season titles he played his way back into the top ten of the world rankings. He finished the season in 6th place.

1999 was his most successful year and with his successes he also made tennis history. In June he won his first win at the French Open when he took part in the final for the third time . In the final, he defeated the Ukrainian Andrij Medwedjew , after he was already two sets behind. This made Agassi the fifth tennis player in history (after Fred Perry , Don Budge , Rod Laver and Roy Emerson ) to win all Grand Slam tournaments at least once in his career. Rod Laver had last achieved this thirty years earlier. However, he was the first player to be victorious on three different surfaces. Agassi was also able to reach the final in Wimbledon, in which he was clearly inferior to his long-term rival Sampras. Nevertheless, Agassi once again conquered the top position in the world rankings with the final, but had to give it up again in the hard court season dominated by Sampras. Shortly before the start of the US Open, the clear tournament favorite Sampras was injured, and Agassi was able to defeat his compatriot Todd Martin in the final of the tournament . For the first time in his career, Agassi achieved two Grand Slam successes in one season. After Sampras' injury-related loss, Agassi was again number 1, which he then defended until the end of the season. At the final World Cup he was clearly defeated by Sampras again in the final. So he ended the year as the best player of the season, although he had to accept four defeats in five duels against Sampras. In the same year, Agassi was named World Sportsman of the Year by the French sports newspaper L'Équipe .

Successes in Australia (2000-2003)

Agassi started the 2000 season as he had finished the previous one. At the Australian Open in January he was able to triumph in the final against Yevgeny Kafelnikov . He had reached four finals at Grand Slam tournaments in a row, which Rod Laver had last achieved in 1969 , but not on four different surfaces. At Wimbledon, however, Agassi was defeated in a dramatic semi-final by the Australian Patrick Rafter . At the end of the year Agassi even had the opportunity to finish the season back in first place, but making it to the finals at the Masters Cup was not enough. In 2001 he defended his title at the Australian Open against Arnaud Clément . In a new edition of the semi-final game from the previous year, Agassi lost to Patrick Rafter in an equally tight match at Wimbledon. In a dramatic quarter-final at the US Open, he lost to Pete Sampras (7: 6, 6: 7, 6: 7, 6: 7) without giving up a single service game. In 2002 Agassi had another strong season, winning three Masters Series tournaments and finishing the year in second place in the world rankings. At the US Open there was the last duel between Agassi and Sampras, and in the end Sampras had the upper hand again and also won the tournament. A year later Sampras should end his career without having played another game. In 2003, Agassi won his third victory in four years at the Australian Open, this time in the final against the German Rainer Schüttler . Later that year, Agassi once again took first place in the world rankings and held that position for another 13 weeks. At the end of the season it was enough for fourth place in the ranking.

The last years (from 2004)

Andre Agassi at the 2005 Australian Open

Good results in the 2004 season ensured that Agassi was able to stay in the top ten of the world rankings, even if great victories were a thing of the past. His only tournament victory that year was in Cincinnati, it was his 17th Masters title. In the 2005 season there were repeated rumors that Agassi would end his long and successful career after the US Open or at the end of the year. After being affected by injuries for much of the season, he made a comeback with the 60th tournament victory of his career in Los Angeles and a final in Montreal . This made Agassi one of the favorites for the US Open in 2005 and he lived up to expectations with his participation in the finals. In the final he brought Roger Federer into trouble, but finally had to admit defeat 3: 6, 6: 2, 6: 7 and 1: 6. Agassi finished the season in 7th place after he had to withdraw from the Tennis Masters Cup after only one match due to an injury. In his last Wimbledon participation in 2006, Agassi reached the third round with victories over Boris Pašanski and Andreas Seppi . There he was defeated by the Spaniard Rafael Nadal in three sets and was still celebrated by the audience afterwards.

On June 24, 2006, Agassi announced to the press that he would end his career after the following US Open. After hard-fought victories over Andrei Pavel and Marcos Baghdatis , he lost there on September 3, 2006 after 3:03 hours in the third round in four sets (5: 7, 7: 6, 4: 6, 5: 7) against the German Qualifier Benjamin Becker . Afterwards, with a standing ovation from the audience and with tears in his eyes, he declared his professional tennis career, which had lasted more than two decades, to be over.

In early November 2009, Agassi hit the headlines when, as already mentioned in his biography, he admitted that he had used the stimulant crystal meth in his career and that he tested positive in a doping control in 1997. The drug offense itself was statute-barred at this point, but it could still have been prosecuted for the false testimony made at the time. He had testified that he accidentally drank a colleague's drink that was said to have been contaminated with the doping substance.

Agassi is the only player in men's singles to win the career super slam , i.e. H. he won all four Grand Slam tournaments, the year-end tournament of the ATP and the Olympic Games in singles.

On January 20, 2011, Andre Agassi was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame .

Davis Cup

Between 1988 and 2005 he played 36 games for the Davis Cup team in the USA ; he got 30 victories.

He was also in the US squad for the Davis Cup triumphs in 1990 and 1992 . The team from 1992 with the players Pete Sampras , Jim Courier , Andre Agassi and John McEnroe can be regarded as the best of all time, as it consisted of four players, who had all been at the top of the world rankings or took this position a short time later to have. In 2005 Agassi suffered a bitter defeat in front of a home crowd against Ivan Ljubičić ; it meant the first round of the USA against Croatia .

Personal

His father Emmanuel "Mike" Agassi , an Iranian boxer of Armenian- Assyrian origin, was a two-time (1948 and 1952) Olympian in boxing. His mother, the American Elizabeth "Betty" Dudley, married the father after emigrating to the USA in 1958.

From 1997 to 1999 there was a marriage with the actress Brooke Shields . Agassi has been married to the former tennis player Steffi Graf since October 2001 . The couple has a son (born October 26, 2001) and a daughter (born October 3, 2003).

Agassi's middle name Kirk is dedicated to the multi-billionaire Kirk Kerkorian , as he helped the Agassi family financially in difficult times and provided for their livelihood. Agassi's father, who, like Kerkorian, is also of Armenian origin, worked at the MGM Grand Hotel , which had to be closed after a fire in November 1980, which resulted in the dismissal of the employees. Kerkorian also paid for heart surgery on Agassi's father in 1995.

Agassi's older sister, Rita, was the sixth wife of Pancho Gonzales .

Charity and business activities

In 1994 the professional tennis player founded the Andre Agassi Foundation to help children at risk in Las Vegas.

In 2001, the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy opened in Las Vegas , a free charter school for disadvantaged children. Charter schools are privately owned schools, the construction and operation of which is 100 percent financed by the state.

In 2011, Agassi founded a real estate fund , the Turner-Agassi Charter School Facilities Fund, together with Bobby Turner, managing director of the investment fund Turner Impact Capital . This fund acquires real estate, develops it and sells it to the owners of charter schools.

In 2013, the fund invested $ 4.6 million in a property in the Bronx, New York , which it expanded and sold to Lighthouse Academies, a charter school operator, for more than $ 24 million in 2018. So far, the Turner-Agassi-Fund has built more than 88 buildings for charter schools in the USA.

The Agassi Foundation explains on its homepage that it also pursues educational policy goals: "We are changing the public education system in the USA through our Charter School in Las Vegas and by influencing state and national politics" (in the original: "by influencing state and national policy ").
