Andre is very close with his family and is proud of his heritage. Too bad for you if you had him confused as an Italian.

Agassi could have retired long ago as one of the top players and money earners in tennis (both in winnings and endorsements), but instead has stayed with the game he loves and remains one of the top ATP players and biggest draws in tennis.

I'm sure it will be only a matter of time before he decides to retire from the rigors of the tennis circuit to spend even more time with his wife, female tennis legend Steffi Graf, and their children...however, it's entirely possible that their will yet be another proud Armenian-Assyrian, and half-German, with the last name of Agassi that will make a mark on the tennis world.

BTW, former #1 player in the world (and U.S. Olympic Gold Medal winner), Andre Agassi, is one of only five men who have won all four of the tennis Grand Slam events.
