Andre Agassi has left a lasting impact on tennis thanks to his stunning career, during which he won eight Grand Slam titles.
Agassi sometimes played into the hands of his opponent, but left the sport with major titles across all four Grand Slams.
He started with the 1992 Wimbledon title, and finished with the 2003 Australian Open title, joining fellow ATP icons Ivan Lendl and Jimmy Connors on eight Grand Slam trophies.
American legend Agassi also lost seven Grand Slam finals, having come up against many fellow stars during his playing career.
That includes the likes of Jim Courier, Goran Ivanisevic and Michael Stich, and of course long-time rival Pete Sampras.

But his toughest opponent would emerge in the 2005 US Open final, when Agassi lost out on the title to Roger Federer.
Asked if the joy of being out on the court outweighed the pain of losing to the Swiss star in his post-match press conference, the runner-up replied: “It does, yes. It does.
“It’s disappointing to lose, but the first thing you have to assess is why did you lose and, you know, I just lot to a guy that’s better.
