A teenage phenomenon, Agassi contested multiple major finals before winning his first at the [[1992 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles|1992 Wimbledon Championships]]. His ranking thereafter dropped afterward due to surgery, but he recovered and won the [[1994 US Open – Men's singles|1994 US Open]] and [[1995 Australian Open – Men's singles|1995 Australian Open]] to reach the world No. 1 ranking for the first time. He was then troubled by personal issues during the mid-to-late 1990s, and despite an Olympic gold medal at the [[Tennis at the 1996 Summer Olympics – Men's singles|1996 Atlanta Olympics]], Agassi's ranking declined to as low as No. 141 in 1997, prompting many to believe that his career among the elite was over.<ref name="greatath" /> Following a rigorous training regimen, Agassi then enjoyed the most successful run of his career over the next several years. He returned to the world No. 1 position in 1999 after completing the Career Golden Slam at the [[1999 French Open – Men's singles|French Open]], and during this latter half of his career also claimed a US Open title and three Australian Open titles. Competing well into the 2000s, Agassi retired from the sport following the [[2006 US Open – Men's singles|2006 US Open]].

In addition to not playing the Australian Open (which later became his best Grand Slam event) for the first eight years of his career, Agassi chose not to play at [[The Championships, Wimbledon|Wimbledon]] from 1988 to 1990 (although he first played there in 1987, only to lose in the first round to [[Henri Leconte]]) and publicly stated that he did not wish to play there because of the event's traditionalism, particularly its "predominantly white" dress code to which players at the event are required to conform.<ref>{{Cite web |date=July 10, 2022 |title=Agassi hated Wimbledon dress code so much he boycotted it for three years |url=https://talksport.com/sport/tennis/1147060/andre-agassi-boycott-wimbledon-dress-code-white/ |access-date=2022-12-14 |website=talkSPORT |language=en-US |archive-date=July 13, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240713023909/https://talksport.com/sport/1147060/andre-agassi-boycott-wimbledon-dress-code-white/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=June 30, 2017 |title=Against the all-white rule at Wimbledon |url=https://lifestyle.livemint.com//news/talking-point/against-the-all-white-rule-at-wimbledon-111646993830455.html |access-date=2022-12-14 |website=Mintlounge |language=en |archive-date=December 14, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221214185145/https://lifestyle.livemint.com//news/talking-point/against-the-all-white-rule-at-wimbledon-111646993830455.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

Strong performances on the tour meant that Agassi was quickly tipped as a future Grand Slam champion. Agassi reached the 1988 French Open semi finals before losing to [[Mats Wilander]]. "I've learned I have to do a lot about my serve and groundstrokes.

===1990–1991: First Grand Slam finals===
He began the 1990s with a series of near-misses. He reached his first Grand Slam final in 1990 at the French Open, where he was favored before losing in four sets to [[Andrés Gómez]], which he later attributed in his book to worrying about his wig falling off during the match.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.essentiallysports.com/andre-agassi-says-he-lost-a-grand-slam-final-because-of-his-wig-tennis-news/ |title=Andre Agassi Says He Lost A Grand Slam Final Because Of His Wig |work=Essentially Sports |date=April 15, 2020 |access-date=June 27, 2021 |archive-date=April 24, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210424031302/https://www.essentiallysports.com/andre-agassi-says-he-lost-a-grand-slam-final-because-of-his-wig-tennis-news/ |url-status=live }}</ref> He reached his second Grand Slam final of the year at the US Open, defeating defending champion [[Boris Becker]] in the semi-finals. His opponent in the final was [[Pete Sampras]]; a year earlier, Agassi had crushed Sampras, after which time he told his coach that he felt bad for Sampras because he was never going to make it as a pro. Agassi lost the US Open final to Sampras in three sets.<ref name="greatath" /> The [[Agassi-Sampras rivalry]] would evolve into the biggest rivalry in tennis over the next decade+. Agassi ended 1990 on a high note as he helped the United States win its first [[Davis Cup]] in 8 years on home soil against Australia (3–2) and won his only [[Tennis Masters Cup]], beating reigning Wimbledon champion [[Stefan Edberg]] in the final. He ended the year ranked 4.<ref name=":agarankings" />

In 1991, Agassi reached his second consecutive French Open final, where he faced fellow Bollettieri Academy alumnus Courier. Courier emerged the victor in a five-set final. The Las Vegan was a set and 3–1 up when came the rain. The rain delay proved to be a confidence builder for Courier. Agassi decided to play at Wimbledon in 1991, leading to weeks of speculation in the media about the clothes he would wear. He eventually emerged for the first round in a completely white outfit.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.baltimoresun.com/1991/06/28/agassi-makes-a-big-splash-in-white-on-centre-court/ |title=Agassi makes a big splash in white on Centre Court |date=June 28, 1991 |newspaper=[[The Baltimore Sun]] |access-date=May 17, 2014 |archive-date=July 13, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150713172615/http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1991-06-28/sports/1991179074_1_wimbledon-agassi-centre-court |url-status=live }}</ref> He reached the quarterfinals on that occasion, losing in five sets to [[David Wheaton]].

Agassi famously played the game wearing [[Oakley, Inc.|Oakley]] brand sunglasses, and a photo of him from the day appeared on the cover of [[Tennis (magazine)|''Tennis'' magazine]]. In his memoir, he wrote that he was covering up bloodshot eyes from a [[hangover]] and claimed that the founder of Oakley, [[Jim Jannard]], had sent him a [[Dodge Viper]] to thank him for the inadvertent publicity.<ref name=":0">{{cite book |last=Chrisman-Campbell |first=Kimberly |title=Worn on This Day: the Clothes That Made History |year=2019 |publisher=Running Press |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=t4WLDwAAQBAJ&q=agassi |isbn=978-0-7624-9357-9 |location=Philadelphia |page=30 |oclc=1089571878 |url-access=subscription |access-date=June 21, 2022 |archive-date=July 13, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240713022941/https://books.google.com/books?id=t4WLDwAAQBAJ&q=agassi#v=snippet&q=agassi&f=false |url-status=live }}</ref> He ended the year ranked 9.<ref name=":agarankings" />

In 1993, Agassi won the only doubles title of his career, at the [[Cincinnati Open]], partnered with [[Petr Korda]]. He missed much of the early part of that year due to injuries. Although he made the quarterfinals in his Wimbledon title defense, he lost to eventual champion and No. 1 Pete Sampras in five sets. Agassi lost in the first round at the US Open to [[Thomas Enqvist]] and required wrist surgery late in the year. Due to an injury plagued season, he ended the year ranked 24.<ref name=":agarankings" />

===1994–1995: Rise to the top===
With new coach [[Brad Gilbert]] on board, Agassi began to employ more of a tactical, consistent approach, which fueled his resurgence. He started slowly in 1994, losing in the first week at the French Open and Wimbledon, although he did receive a much-needed confidence boost after defeating [[Mark Petchey]] at the [[Miami Open (tennis)|Miami Open]] in March. Nevertheless, he emerged during the hard-court season, winning the [[Canada Masters|Canadian Open]]. His comeback culminated at the [[1994 US Open (tennis)|1994 US Open]] with a five-set fourth-round victory against [[Michael Chang]]. He then became the first man to capture the US Open as an [[Seed (tennis)|unseeded]] player, beating [[Michael Stich]] in the final.<ref name="greatath" /> Along the way, he beat 5 seeded players. He ended the year ranked 2.<ref name=":agarankings" />

In 1995, Agassi shaved his balding head, breaking with his old "image is everything" style. He competed in the [[1995 Australian Open]] (his first appearance at the event) and won, beating defending champion Sampras in a four-set final.<ref name="greatath" /> Plagued by a painful hip, Agassi lost in the French Open quarter finals in straight sets to [[Yevgeny Kafelnikov]].<ref name=":agafre1995">{{cite news|date=7 June 1995|title=Ailing Agassi bounced from French Open|newspaper=Record-Journal|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BKRHAAAAIBAJ&lpg=PA11&dq=Agassi%20kafelnikov&pg=PA11#v=onepage&q=Agassi%20kafelnikov&f=false|accessdate=10 August 2025}}</ref> Agassi lost to [[Boris Becker]] in the Wimbledon semi finals, despite leading by a set and two breaks at 4-1.

Agassi won three Masters Series events in 1995 ([[Cincinnati Masters|Cincinnati]], [[Miami Masters|Key Biscayne]], and the Canadian Open) and seven titles total.<ref name="greatath" />

Agassi reached the [[List of ATP number 1 ranked singles tennis players|world No. 1]] ranking for the first time in April 1995. He held that ranking until November, for a total of 30 weeks. Agassi skipped most of the fall indoor season which allowed Sampras to surpass him and finish ranked No. 1 at the year-end ranking. In terms of win–loss record, 1995 was Agassi's best year. He won 73 and lost 9 matches, and was also once again a key player on the United States' [[Davis Cup]] winning team—the third and final Davis Cup title of his career.

===1996–1997: Decline and fall to World No. 141===
Agassi was less successful in 1996, as he failed to reach any Grand Slam final. He suffered two early-round losses to [[Chris Woodruff]] and [[Doug Flach]] at the French Open and Wimbledon, respectively, and lost to Chang in straight sets in the Australian and US Open semi-finals. At the time, Agassi blamed the Australian Open loss on the windy conditions, but later said in his biography that he had lost the match on purpose, as he did not want to play Boris Becker, whom he would have faced in that final. The high point for Agassi was winning the men's singles gold medal at the [[1996 Summer Olympics|Olympic Games]] in [[Atlanta]], beating [[Sergi Bruguera]] of Spain in the final.<ref name="greatath" /> Agassi also successfully defended his singles titles in Cincinnati and Key Biscayne. He ended the year ranked 8.<ref name=":agarankings" />

The low point of Agassi's career came in 1997. His wrist injury resurfaced, and he played only 24 matches during the year. Some years later he confessed that he used [[methamphetamine|crystal methamphetamine]] during that time, allegedly on the urging of a friend.<ref name="sports.espn.go.com">{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/sports/tennis/news/story?id=4600027 |title=Andre Agassi book says he used crystal meth |work=[[ESPN]] |date=October 27, 2009 |access-date=January 27, 2011 |archive-date=September 25, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130925160007/http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/news/story?id=4600027 |url-status=live }}</ref> He failed an ATP drug test, but wrote a letter claiming the same friend had spiked a drink.

===1998–2000: Return to glory and Career Super Slam===
[[File:Andre Agassi 1999.jpg|thumb|upright=.7|Agassi in 1999]]
In 1998, Agassi began a rigorous conditioning program and worked his way back up the rankings by playing in Challenger tournaments. After returning to top physical and mental shape, Agassi recorded the most successful period of his tennis career.

In 1998, Agassi leapt from No. 110 to No. 6, the highest jump into the top 10 made by any player during a calendar year.<ref name="atpbio">{{cite web |url=https://www.atptour.com/en/players/andre-agassi/a092/overview |title=Andre Agassi player profile |website=Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) |access-date=April 13, 2021 |archive-date=April 11, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210411005858/https://www.atptour.com/en/players/andre-agassi/a092/overview |url-status=live }}</ref> At Wimbledon, he had an early loss in the second round to [[Tommy Haas]]. He won five titles in ten finals and was runner-up at the [[Miami Masters|Masters Series tournament in Key Biscayne]], losing to [[Marcelo Ríos]], who became No. 1 as a result. At the year end he was awarded the ATP Most Improved Player of the Year for the second time in his career (the first being 10 years earlier in 1988).

Agassi entered the history books in 1999 when he came back from two sets to love down to beat [[Andrei Medvedev (tennis)|Andrei Medvedev]] in a five-set French Open final, becoming, at the time, only the fifth male player (joining [[Rod Laver]], [[Fred Perry]], [[Roy Emerson]] and [[Don Budge]]—these have since been joined by [[Roger Federer]], [[Rafael Nadal]], and [[Novak Djokovic]]) to win all four Grand Slam singles titles during his career. This win also made him the first (of only four, the next being Federer, Nadal and Djokovic respectively) male player in history to have won all four Grand Slam titles on three different surfaces (clay, grass and hard courts).  Agassi also became the first male player to win the [[Career Super Slam]], consisting of all four Grand Slam tournaments plus an Olympic gold medal in singles and a [[ATP World Tour Finals|Year-end championship]].<ref name="SI" />

Agassi followed his 1999 French Open victory by reaching the Wimbledon final, where he lost to Sampras in straight sets.<ref name="greatath" /> He won the [[1999 US Open (tennis)|US Open]], beating [[Todd Martin]] in five sets in the final. Overall during the year Agassi won five titles including two majors and the ATP Masters Series in Paris, where he beat [[Marat Safin]]. Agassi ended 1999 as the No. 1, ending Sampras's record of six consecutive year-ending top rankings (1993–98).<ref name="greatath" /> This was the only time Agassi ended the year at No. 1. Agassi was runner-up to Sampras at the year-end [[1999 Tennis Masters Cup|Tennis Masters Cup]] losing in straight sets despite beating Sampras in the round-robin.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.tennismajors.com/our-features/november-28-1999-the-day-pete-sampras-won-the-atp-finals-for-the-fifth-time-310165.html |title=November 28, 1999: The day Pete Sampras won the ATP Finals for the fifth time |website=Tennis Majors |last=Sokolowski |first=Alexandre |date=November 28, 2020 |access-date=June 27, 2021 |archive-date=August 5, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210805145940/https://www.tennismajors.com/our-features/november-28-1999-the-day-pete-sampras-won-the-atp-finals-for-the-fifth-time-310165.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

On April 28, 2003, he recaptured the No. 1 ranking to become the oldest top-ranked male player since the ATP rankings began at 33 years and 13 days.

Agassi then recaptured the No. 1 ranking once again on June 16, 2003, which he held for 12 weeks until September 7, 2003. There he managed to reach the US Open semi-finals, where he lost to [[Juan Carlos Ferrero]], surrendering his No. 1 ranking to him. During his career, Agassi held the ranking for a total of 101 weeks. Agassi's ranking slipped when injuries forced him to withdraw from a number of events. At the year-end Tennis Masters Cup, Agassi lost in the final to Federer, his third time to finish as runner-up in the event after losses in 1999 and 2000, and finished the year ranked No. 4.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/946191-atp-world-tour-finals-counting-down-the-all-time-top-ten-champions |title=ATP World Tour Finals: Counting Down the All-Time Top 10 Champions |work=Bleacher Report |last=Allen |first=Ja |date=November 18, 2011 |access-date=June 27, 2021 |archive-date=February 11, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220211225200/https://bleacherreport.com/articles/946191-atp-world-tour-finals-counting-down-the-all-time-top-ten-champions |url-status=live }}</ref> At age 33, he had been one of the oldest players to rank in the top 5 since Connors, at age 35, was No. 4 in 1987.<ref name="atpbio" />

===2004–2006: Final competitive years===
[[file:Andre Agassi Indian Wells 2006.jpg|thumb|upright=.7|Agassi in 2006]]
In 2004, Agassi began the year with a five-set loss in the semi-finals of the Australian Open to [[Marat Safin]]; the loss ended Agassi's 26-match winning streak at the event. He won the [[Cincinnati Masters|Masters series event in Cincinnati]] (a then record 17th ATP Masters Series title, having won seven of the nine ATP Masters events). At 34, he became the second-oldest singles champion in Cincinnati tournament history (the tournament began in 1899), tied with Roger Federer and surpassed by [[Ken Rosewall]]. At the US Open Agassi lost to Federer in the quarter finals in five sets played in exceptionally windy conditions. "It was very difficult. It was one of the worst conditions I've played in. It's like playing warmup tennis and trying to keep the ball in play" said Federer afterwards.<ref name=":agaus2004">{{cite news|date=10 September 2004|title=Windy wins|newspaper=The Victoria Advocate|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0UVTAAAAIBAJ&lpg=PA11&dq=Agassi%20federer%20hurricane&pg=PA11#v=onepage&q=Agassi%20federer%20hurricane&f=false|accessdate=10 August 2025}}</ref> He finished the year ranked No. 8, one of the oldest players to finish in the top 10 since the 36-year-old Connors was No. 7 in 1988.<ref name="atpbio" /> Agassi also became the sixth male player during the [[Tennis open era|open era]] to reach 800 career wins with his first-round victory over [[Alex Bogomolov]] in Los Angeles.

Agassi's 2005 began with a quarterfinal loss to Federer at the Australian Open. He had several other deep runs at tournaments, but had to withdraw from several events due to injury. He lost to [[Jarkko Nieminen]] in the first round of the French Open. He won his fourth title in Los Angeles (his 60th and last top-level singles title) and reached the final of the [[Canada Masters|Rogers Cup]], before losing to No. 2 [[Rafael Nadal]]. At the US Open, Agassi won three consecutive five-set matches to advance to the final. The most notable of these matches was his quarterfinal victory over [[James Blake (tennis)|James Blake]], where he rallied from two sets down to win in the fifth set tie-breaker. His other five-set victories were over [[Xavier Malisse]] in the fourth round and [[Robby Ginepri]] in the semi-finals. In the final, Federer defeated Agassi in four sets. Agassi finished 2005 ranked No. 7, his 16th time in the year-end top-10 rankings, which tied Connors for the most times ranked in the ATP top 10 at year's end.

Agassi suffered from injuries (primarily to his back) in the early part of 2006, causing his withdrawal from many events. This caused his ranking to drop out of the top 10 for the last time. Agassi returned for the grass-court season. At [[2006 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles|Wimbledon]] he was defeated in the third round by world No. 2 (and eventual runner-up) [[Rafael Nadal]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13653101 |title=Upsetting day: Agassi, then Roddick ousted |date=June 1, 2006 |access-date=October 27, 2007 |agency=Associated Press |publisher=NBC Sports |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071105214848/http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13653101 |archive-date=November 5, 2007 |url-status=dead }}</ref> At Wimbledon, Agassi announced his plans to retire following the US Open. Agassi played only two events during the summer hard-court season with his best result being a quarterfinal loss in Los Angeles to [[Fernando González]] of Chile, which resulted in him being unseeded at the US Open.

Agassi had a short, but dramatic, run in his final US Open. Because of extreme back pain, Agassi was forced to receive anti-inflammatory injections after every match. After a four-set win against [[Andrei Pavel]], Agassi faced eighth-seeded [[Marcos Baghdatis]] (the [[2006 Australian Open]] finalist) in the second round. Agassi won in five sets as the younger Baghdatis succumbed to muscle cramping in the final set.<ref>{{Cite news |agency=Associated Press |date=August 31, 2006 |title=Agassi Advances at U.S. Open |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/31/sports/tennis/01Agassi_wire.html |access-date=2023-05-18 |issn=0362-4331 |archive-date=July 13, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240713023040/https://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/31/sports/tennis/01Agassi_wire.html |url-status=live }}</ref> In his last match, Agassi fell to 112th-ranked [[Benjamin Becker]] of Germany in four sets.

===Agassi vs. Chang===
[[Michael Chang]] was the opponent Agassi faced most frequently from all the players other than Sampras. They met 22 times on the tour level with Agassi leading 15–7.<ref name=":agachang">{{cite web|title=Andre Agassi Vs Michael Chang|url=https://www.atptour.com/en/players/atp-head-2-head/andre-agassi-vs-michael-chang/A092/C274|publisher=Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP)}}</ref> Chang, unlike most of Agassi's big rivals also preferred to stay at the baseline, with Agassi preferring to dictate points and Chang being more defensive-minded. The outcome was that most of their meetings were built on long and entertaining rallies. The rivalry began late in the 1980s with both players being considered the prodigies of the next great generation of American tennis players and both being of foreign descent.

Agassi won the first four matches including a straight-set victory in round 16 of the 1988 US Open<ref name=":agachang" /> and defeating Chang, the defending champion, in the 1990 French Open in a four-set quarterfinal.<ref name=":agachang" /> Arguably their best match took place in the round of 16 of the 1994 US Open. While both players presented high-quality shot-making, the momentum changed from set to set with Agassi eventually prevailing in a five-set victory.<ref name=":agascha1994us">{{cite news|date=6 September 1994|title=Open|newspaper=The Day|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sM1QAAAAIBAJ&lpg=PA15&dq=Agassi%20chang&pg=PA15#v=onepage&q=Agassi%20chang&f=false|accessdate=31 July 2025}}</ref> It turned out to be the toughest contest on his way to his first US Open title. Their next two Grand Slam meetings came in 1996, with Chang recording easy straight-set victories in the semi-finals of both the Australian Open and the US Open.<ref name=":agachang" /> Years after, Agassi shockingly admitted in his book that he had lost the first of the matches on purpose as he did not want to face Boris Becker, who was awaiting the winner in the final. Agassi won the last four of their matches, with the last being in 2003 at the Miami Open with Chang being clearly past his prime.<ref name=":agascha2003">{{cite news|date=23 March 2003|title=Agassi closes the curtain on Chang|newspaper=The Day|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FRAiAAAAIBAJ&lpg=PA19&dq=Agassi%20chang&pg=PA19#v=onepage&q=Agassi%20chang&f=false|accessdate=31 July 2025}}</ref>

Agassi, considered a baseliner with a playing style not suiting grass, shocked Becker, a three-time champion, in a five-set quarterfinal at Wimbledon in 1992 on his way to his first Grand Slam title. The intensity of the rivalry peaked in 1995. Becker won that year's Wimbledon semi-final after being down a set and two breaks, to eventually win in four sets.<ref name=":agawim1995">{{cite news|date=7 July 1995|title=Wimbledon: Becker turns tough|newspaper=The Spokesman Review|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1m1XAAAAIBAJ&lpg=PA48&dq=Agassi%20becker&pg=PA48#v=onepage&q=Agassi%20becker&f=false|accessdate=31 July 2025}}</ref> In a highly anticipated rematch in the US Open semi-final, this time it was Agassi who came out victorious in four tight sets. Their final match was played at Hong Kong in 1999, which Agassi won in three sets.<ref name=":agabeck" />

===Agassi vs. Rafter===

Among his numerous career accolades, Agassi was named the [[BBC Overseas Sports Personality of the Year]] in 1992, and the 7th greatest male player of all time by ''[[Sports Illustrated]]'' in 2010.<ref name="SI" /> On July 9, 2011, Agassi was inducted into the [[International Tennis Hall of Fame]] at a ceremony in Newport, Rhode Island.<ref name="tennis" />

Agassi earned more than $30&nbsp;million in prize-money during his career, second only to Sampras at the time of his retirement. He also earned more than $25&nbsp;million a year through endorsements during his career, which was ranked fourth in all sports at the time.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.forbes.com/lists/2005/53/1YUQ.html |title=Forbes:Andre Agassi |work=Forbes |access-date=January 26, 2011 |archive-date=February 17, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110217030730/http://www.forbes.com/lists/2005/53/1YUQ.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Playing style==
Early in his career, Agassi would look to end points quickly by playing first-strike tennis, typically by inducing a weak return with a deep, hard shot, and then playing a winner at an extreme angle. On the rare occasion that he charged the net, Agassi liked to take the ball in the air and hit a swinging volley for a winner. His favored groundstroke was his flat, accurate two-handed backhand, hit well cross-court but especially down the line. His forehand was nearly as strong, especially his inside-out to the ad court.<ref>{{cite web |author=Nick Bollettieri |url=http://www.tennisplayer.net/public/tour_strokes/nick_bollettieri/nick_bollet_agassi_backhand_images/nick_bollet_agassi_backhand.html?format=print |title=Building the Agassi Backhand |website=tennisplayer.net |access-date=June 4, 2014 |archive-date=May 29, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140529202107/http://www.tennisplayer.net/public/tour_strokes/nick_bollettieri/nick_bollet_agassi_backhand_images/nick_bollet_agassi_backhand.html?format=print |url-status=live }}</ref>

Agassi's strength was in dictating play from the baseline, and he was able to consistently take the ball on the rise.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1783460-rafael-nadal-vs-andre-agassi-was-a-transition-of-tennis-generations|title=Rafael Nadal vs. Andre Agassi Was a Transition of Tennis Generations|website=Bleacher Report|access-date=March 22, 2019|archive-date=March 22, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190322035030/https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1783460-rafael-nadal-vs-andre-agassi-was-a-transition-of-tennis-generations|url-status=live}}</ref> While he was growing up, his father and [[Nick Bollettieri]] trained him in this way.<ref name="ReferenceA">Open: Andre Agassi HarpersCollins 2009</ref> When in control of a point, Agassi would often pass up an opportunity to attempt a winner and hit a conservative shot to minimize his errors, and to make his opponent run more. This change to more methodical, less aggressive baseline play was largely initiated by his longtime coach, [[Brad Gilbert]], in their first year together in 1994. Gilbert encouraged Agassi to wear out opponents with his deep, flat groundstrokes and to use his fitness to win attrition wars, and noted Agassi's two-handed backhand down the line as his very best shot.<ref name="ReferenceA" /> A signature play later in his career was a change-up drop shot to the deuce court after deep penetrating groundstrokes. This would often be followed by a passing shot or lob if the opponent was fast enough to retrieve it.

Agassi was raised on hardcourts, but found much of his early major-tournament success on the red clay of Roland Garros, reaching two consecutive finals there early in his career. Despite grass being his worst surface, his first major win was at the slick grass of Wimbledon in 1992, a tournament that he professed to hating at the time.<ref name="ReferenceA" /> His strongest surface over the course of his career, was indeed hardcourt, where he won six of his eight majors.

In it, Agassi talks about his childhood and his unconventional Armenian father, who came to the United States from Iran, where he was a professional boxer.
