Andre Agassi Returns to BBC Wimbledon Coverage
Andre Agassi will be part of the BBC's Wimbledon coverage. The American won at SW19 in 1992.
Agassi made his debut with the broadcaster last year and will return for the climax of the event.
He is part of a star-studded line-up which will also include 2014 women’s singles runner-up Eugenie Bouchard for the first time.
Agassi was one half of a celebrity power couple during his marriage to American actress Brooke Shields.
They divorced in 1999 and he then married seven-time Wimbledon champion Steffi Graf.
The ceremony was as private as they come, with just four people in attendance - the couple and their respective mothers.
Agassi and Graf have two children together, son Jaden and daughter Jaz.
Jaden has followed his own sporting passion at the University of Southern California, though he has chosen baseball over tennis.
Jaz, meanwhile, has taken to dance and horseback riding.
Agassi was one of the big-name investors in Ballers, a start-up launching sports and entertainment venues across the United States with a focus on pickleball and padel.
The start-up raised $20m (£15.2m) in a Series A funding round, with fellow tennis stars Sloane Stephens and Kim Clijsters among the others to put their financial weight behind it.
Agassi previously rejected suggestions pickleball was a threat to tennis participation, be that for players or spectators.
He said in 2024: “I love watching pickleball, but only until I get to that point of wanting to go play it.”
Agassi played a number of exhibition matches in the years since his retirement, while also making forays into coaching.
After a short-lived spell coaching Novak Djokovic between 2017 and 2018, he took on a new role heading up Team World when they beat Team Europe at the 2025 Laver Cup.
Taylor Fritz and Alex De Minaur were among the stars of the show in a 15-9 victory.
Agassi’s team came out on top despite coming up against big-name stars such as Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev.
Nearly 20 years have passed since Agassi retired from tennis, with the 2006 US Open marking his farewell from the sport.
Agassi won eight Grand Slam titles, with four of those coming at the Australian Open.
He won at SW19 in 1992, and will now be part of the BBC's coverage of the Championships.
Agassi is 56 years old and has remained active since his retirement.
He has played a number of exhibition matches and has also made forays into coaching.
Agassi is part of a star-studded line-up which will also include 2014 women’s singles runner-up Eugenie Bouchard for the first time.
The American has remained active but another sport has also entered his repertoire.
Agassi and Graf have kept their lives private and their offspring - now both adults - have only made occasional public appearances.
Jaden told WKBN in 2024: “Agassi is a very tennis last name, of course. The goal is to try to make it a baseball one.”
Agassi previously rejected suggestions pickleball was a threat to tennis participation, be that for players or spectators.
He said: “I’ve seen pickleball save so many tennis clubs because people come and play. This sport translates culture, it breaks down cultural barriers. It’s people, it’s community, anybody can play it.”
