His father is an Iranian who represented Iran in boxing at the 1948 and 1952 Olympic Games before migrating to the US.<\/p><p>Andre dated famed American singer Barbra Streisand in the early 1990s.<\/p><p>He got married to Brooke Shields on April 19, 1997.

He ended his first year ranked 91 in the World.<\/p><p>In the Andre Agassi Biography we note that as a young player Agassi embraced a rebel image. He grew his hair to his waist, wore an earring and colorful shirts. He chose not to play the Australian Open for the first eight years of his career although this Grand Slam eventually became his best Grand Slam event. Agassi also did not play Wimbledon from 1988 to 1990 stating that he did not wish to participate because of the \u2018predominantly white\u2019 dress that players had to wear.<\/p><p>In 1990, Agassi helped the United States win the Davis Cup and won his only ATP Tour World Championship.<\/p><p>Agassi won his first Grand Slam at the 1992 Wimbledon Tournament. He beat Goran Ivanisevic in a five set final. He also helped the US win the Davis Cup Tournament.<\/p><p>In 1994 Agassi had a new coach, Brad Gilbert. Andre started to employ a more tactical consistent approach to his game which fueled his comeback from a poor year in 1993. He became the first man to win the US Open as an unseeded player beating Michael Stich in the final.<\/p><p>Agassi shaved his balding head in 1995 breaking his \u2018image is everything\u2019 style. He played the Australian Open for the first time and won it beating Pete Sampras in the final. Agassi won three Masters Series events (Cincinnati, Key Biscayne, and the Canadian Open). He reached World Number 1 ranking for the first time in April 1995. He held the number 1 rank for 30 weeks. Andre was part of the US Davis Cup wining team for the third time.<\/p><p>Andre won the Men\u2019s Singles Gold Medal at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta beating Sergi Bruguera of Spain in the final. He also defended his titles in Cincinnati and Key Biscayne Masters Series events.<\/p><p>1997 was a low point in Agassi\u2019s career. He won no top-level title and his ranking went down to 141 in the World on November 10, 1997.<\/p><p>In 1998, Agassi re-dedicated himself to tennis. He started a rigorous conditioning program. The one time \u2018rebel\u2019 became a gracious and thoughtful athlete. He bowed and blew two-handed kisses to spectators on each side of the court after winning a match, a gesture seen as a humble acknowledgement of their support for him and for tennis. Andre won five titles to leap from World Number 122 at the start of the year to 6 at the end, making it the highest climb into the top 10 made by any player during a single calendar year.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e29960b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e29960b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"298\" height=\"377\" src=\"https:\/\/busy-tennis-players.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/AgassiFlyingKiss.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-274\" alt=\"AgassiFlyingKiss\" srcset=\"https:\/\/busy-tennis-players.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/AgassiFlyingKiss.jpg 298w, https:\/\/busy-tennis-players.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/AgassiFlyingKiss-237x300.jpg 237w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 298px) 100vw, 298px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8611508 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8611508\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u00a9 Elsa \/ Getty Images<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40fab06 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"40fab06\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>One of the high points in the Andre Agassi biography is when Agassi entered the history books in\u00a0<b>1999<\/b>\u00a0when he won the French Open beating Andrei Medvedev in a five set final to become only the third player in the Open Era (others being Rod Laver and Roger Federer) to win all four Grand Slam Tournaments during his career. He won the US Open beating Todd Martin in a five set final. Agassi finished 1999 as the World Number 1 ranked player. This was the only time that he finished the year as the World Number 1 player.<\/p><p><b>2000<\/b>\u00a0was the second year that Andre won the Australian Open tile beating Yevgeny Kafelnikov in a four-set final. Agassi reached the semifinals of Wimbledon losing to Patrick Rafter in five sets in match a considered by some to be one of the best ever played at Wimbledon.<\/p><p>In\u00a0<b>2001<\/b>\u00a0Agassi defended his Australian Open title beating Arnaud Clement in the finals in straight sets. Andre finished the year as the World Number three ranked player becoming the only male player to finish the year ranked in the top 10 in three different decades.<\/p><p>Andre won the Masters Series Tournaments in Key Biscayne, Rome and Madrid in\u00a0<b>2002<\/b>. He finished 2002 as the oldest year-end World Number 2 at 32 years and 8 months.<\/p><p>Agassi won his eight and final Grand Slam Tournament at the\u00a0<b>2003<\/b>\u00a0Australian Open beating Rainer Schuttler in straight sets in the final. He won his sixth career and third consecutive Key Biscayne title becoming the youngest (at 19) and oldest (at 32) winner of this event. On April 28, 2003, at 33 years and 13 days, Agassi captured the World Number 1 ranking to become the oldest top ranked player since the ATP ranking began.<\/p><p>In\u00a0<b>2004<\/b>, at age 34 Agassi won the Masters Series event in Cincinnati to achieve a record 17 Masters Series titles.<\/p><p>One of the highlights in the Andre Agassi Biography is when Andre did an improbable run to the US Open finals in\u00a0<b>2005<\/b>. In the quarterfinals he rallied from two sets down to beat James Blake 7-6 in the fifth and final set. Agassi lost to Federer in four sets in the final. Andre finished the year ranked Number 7 in the World, his 16th time in the year-end top 10, a record which equaled Jimmy Connors for the most times ranked in the top 10 at year-end.<\/p><p>Agassi had a short but dramatic run in his final US Open in\u00a0<b>2006<\/b>. Because of extreme back pain he had to receive anti-inflammatory injections after every match. Agassi\u2019s last match was the 3rd round of the US Open. He was in obvious pain during the match in which he lost to 112th ranked Benjamin Becker of Germany in four sets. After the match Agassi received an eight minute standing ovation from the crowed and delivered a memorable retirement speech.<\/p><p>Andre earned more than US $30 million in price money during his career, third only to Pete Sampras and Roger Federer (as of August 2009). He is said to have earned over US $25 million a year through endorsements during his career the highest by any tennis player.<\/p><p>After retirement Agassi continues to participate in charity Tournaments and play World Team Tennis for the Philadelphia Freedoms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-13ce18e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"13ce18e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Playing Style<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4132d7c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4132d7c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The playing style part of the Andre Agassi Biography is that of a player that had an aggressive baseline game.

These attributes also made him one of the best returners of serve, if not the best, to play the game of tennis. Agassi was known for his ability to dictate play from the center of the baseline, hitting sharp angled winners when he got the chance.<\/p><p>Andre Agassi Biography should state that Agassi\u2019s serve and net game were not impressive.
