born to play tennis
the son of an olympic boxer from iran, andre agassi began playing tennis at the age of three, with a racket taped to his hand. he turned professional when he was sixteen years old. his breakthrough came when he won the 1992 wimbledon tournament.
agassi has earned 57 singles tournament championships, including eight grand slam events, his most recent being the 2003 australian open.
in 1996, agassi took time off from his professional career to represent the united states at the atlanta olympics. surprisingly, he struggled in the early rounds. he needed two tiebreakers to beat jonas björkman of sweden; he lost the opening set to andrea gaudenzi of italy and, in the quarterfinals, he barely defeated wayne ferreira of south africa 7-5, 4-6, 7-5. however, by the time of the final, agassi was at the top of his game and he beat sergi bruguera of spain 6-2, 6-3, 6-1 to add the olympic title to his many other achievements. agassi is married to fellow olympic tennis champion steffi graf.

为网球而生-阿加西
安德烈·阿加西出生在一个奥运拳击运动员之家，他的父亲曾经代表伊朗参加奥运会的拳击比赛，但他是个为网球而生的天才运动员。当他三岁，还只有 一个网球拍高的时候，他就开始了网球启蒙训练。1986年，年仅十六岁的阿加西开始他的职业生涯。他的职业生涯的第一个突破在1992年的温布尔登锦标 赛。
他夺取了个人职业生涯的第一个大满贯，从那以后，在整个职业生涯中，阿加西总共获得57项冠军头衔，其中包括八个大满贯。
1996年，阿加西代表美国 队出战亚特兰大夏季奥运会，并获得男子单打冠军。尽管处于职业生涯巅峰，但阿加西这个唯一的奥运金牌之路也并不平坦，对阵瑞典的比约·克曼时，他经过两个 抢七决胜局才过关；在与意大利的安德雷·高登奇交锋时，他失掉第一局；半决赛中，他也以7-5才艰难的战胜南非的韦纳·费雷拉，直到决赛时，阿加西才表现 出他的最佳状态，以6-2，6-3和6-1轻松战胜西班牙的塞尔希·布鲁格拉，为他奖牌榜上增添了唯一的一枚奥运会金牌。
