#10: Andre Agassi is Golden and His Career Proves It!

If we want to talk about great tennis players let’s start with Andre Agassi. Agassi’s singles career is incredible and is not shy of accomplishment. He is the only male tennis player to have achieved a career Golden Slam. This means that he has won all four Grand Slam singles tournaments and the singles gold medal in the Summer Olympics in the same calendar year. The only other player to have achieved this title is Steffi Graf, a dominant women’s tennis player who is coincidentally his wife.

Agassi’s style of play is so much fun to watch because of how he breaks down his opponent. Agassi was well known as one of the fittest players on the circuit and it showed in his matches. He would basically wear his opponent out with long cross court baseline hits. By the end of the match his opponent was clearly out of energy while Agassi looked like he was just finishing a warm up. Any opponent that was worthy for Agassi had to be in good fitness condition and know how to return shots that would work in their favor. Agassi was a master of controlling the rally.
