After turning pro at the age of 16, tennis prodigy Andre Agassi rose to international fame, earning 60 men’s singles titles, including eight Grand Slam singles championships, over a 20-year career. A former World No. 1 player, Agassi is the only male player ever to win all four Grand Slam titles and an Olympic gold medal. He was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame for his amazing accomplishments. Agassi was also a member of three winning Davis Cup teams, and is the founder of the Andre Agassi Foundation for Education, transforming public education in the United States and influencing national education policies.

Andre Agassi, born on April 29, 1970, in Las Vegas, Nevada, is an iconic figure in tennis history. Turning professional at the age of 16, Agassi quickly gained attention for his flamboyant style and impressive skills on the court. Throughout his career, he won eight Grand Slam singles titles, including four Australian Opens, two US Opens, one French Open, and one Wimbledon. In 1996, he also secured an Olympic gold medal in Atlanta, further cementing his legacy. Agassi's career was marked by his powerful two-handed backhand and his remarkable ability to dominate from the baseline. Despite facing personal challenges and a mid-career slump, he made a stunning comeback in the late 1990s, reclaiming the world No. 1 ranking and completing a Career Grand Slam in 1999. He retired in 2006 after suffering from chronic back issues. Beyond tennis, Agassi has made significant contributions to education through the Andre Agassi Foundation for Education. Established in 1994, the foundation has raised over $60 million for at-risk youth and opened the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy in Las Vegas. This charter school has become a model for educational reform, emphasizing accountability and performance. In his personal life, Agassi has been married to fellow tennis legend Steffi Graf since 2001, and they have two children together. Known for his commitment to philanthropy and educational advocacy, Agassi continues to influence both the sports world and his community positively.
