Andre Agassi is set to return to Wimbledon as part of the BBC's punditry team for the 2026 tournament. The 56-year-old American, who won the Wimbledon men's singles title in 1992, made his debut with the broadcaster last year and will appear during the latter stages of the championship.
Private Wedding with Steffi Graf
Agassi married seven-time Wimbledon champion Steffi Graf in 2001 in an intimate ceremony attended by only four people: the couple and their respective mothers. The tennis power couple has largely shunned the media spotlight, allowing their two children, Jaden and Jaz, now in their 20s, to live private lives. Jaden plays baseball at the University of Southern California, while Jaz pursues dance and horseback riding.
"Agassi is a very tennis last name, of course. The goal is to try to make it a baseball one," Jaden told WKBN in 2024.
Post-Retirement Activities
Since retiring from professional tennis after the 2006 US Open, Agassi has remained active in the sport through exhibition matches and coaching. He briefly worked with Novak Djokovic between 2017 and 2018 and led Team World to victory over Team Europe at the 2025 Laver Cup, with a 15-9 win featuring standout performances from Taylor Fritz and Alex De Minaur.
Pickleball Passion
Agassi and Graf are avid pickleball players, and their enthusiasm has translated into financial backing. Agassi was among high-profile investors in Ballers, a start-up launching sports and entertainment venues across the United States focusing on pickleball and padel. The start-up secured $20 million (£15.2 million) in Series A funding, with fellow tennis stars Sloane Stephens and Kim Clijsters also contributing.
"I love watching pickleball, but only until I get to that point of wanting to go play it," Agassi said in 2024. "I've seen pickleball save so many tennis clubs because people come and play. This sport translates culture, it breaks down cultural barriers. It's people, it's community, anybody can play it."
