Andre Agassi was the son of an Olympian, Emanoul Aghasi, who boxed for Iran at the 1948 and 1952 Olympic Games. A child prodigy, Andre reached the semi-finals of the 1988 French and US Opens when he was 18. Early in his career he was a controversial figure, and was known more for his flamboyance, his long, wild hair, and his many endorsements, earning millions off the court. He embraced a rebel image and made a series of television commercials, proclaiming, “Image is everything.“ He was briefly married to actress Brooke Shields. But Agassi would settle down and carved out one of the great singles careers in tennis. He eventually won 60 professional titles, and eight Grand Slams. He was, at the time, one of only five men to have won all four of the Grand Slam championships (since also done by Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Đoković). Although he struggled to reach the final, there he easily dispatched Spain’s Sergi Bruguera, 6-2, 6-3, and 6-1.
