Andre Agassi

Andre Kirk Agassi, (born April 29, 1970, in Las Vegas, Nevada) is a former World No. 1 men's professional tennis player from the United States. He has won eight Grand Slam singles titles, and is one of only five players to have won all four Grand Slam events. Agassi turned professional in 1986, shortly after his sixteenth birthday, and he won the last tournament of that year and the first tournament of 1988. He advanced from 25th to 4th in the computer rankings by winning six championships in 1988. Twice he went to the semi-finals of a grand slam event, losing both times, to Mats Wilander in an exciting five-set match at the French Open and to Ivan Lendl in four sets at the U. S. Open. With his long blond hair and his fluorescent outfits, he was famous, or notorious, for several years before he won a major title. Some people,including Agassi, wondered if he would ever win one of the grand slam events until he finally broke through at Wimbledon in 1992.
