Andre
Agassi - 2009
 Andre
began his professional tennis career in 1986 at the age
of 16. His performance on the court earned him 60 career
men’s singles titles, including 8 Grand Slam singles
titles. Agassi is the only male player in the world to win
all four Grand Slam titles and an Olympic Gold Medal. In
the summer of 2006, Andre retired from competitive tennis.
He married tennis superstar Stefanie Graf in 2001 and together
the couple has two children. The Andre Agassi Foundation
was established in 1994, which is dedicated to transforming
U.S. public education for underserved youth. Andre has raised
millions of dollars for his Foundation and the education
of children.
The Foundation’s primary beneficiary is the Andre
Agassi College Preparatory Academy, a K-12 public charter
school which opened in 2001 in Las Vegas’ most economically
disadvantaged neighborhood. Agassi Prep will celebrate its
first graduating class in June 2009. This summer, Andre
will play in the 2009 World TeamTennis League.
