Andre Agassi could not hold back the tears not because of losing to Benjamin Becker in four sets, 7-5, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-5, but because the end of his career arrived at the U.S. Open in the Arthur Ashe Stadium at the USTA Bille Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, New York, Sunday, September 3, 2006.

Andre Agassi is reminiscing about his wife’s incredible tennis career. The tennis icon has never been shy about Steffi Graf’s talent, openly discussing his admiration for her. This week, as the Paris Olympics develop, Agassi took to social media to reminisce about Graf’s Olympic achievements.
Agassi shared the post on Instagram, showing Graf wearing her West Germany sweatshirt and holding on to her gold medal at the Olympics as she smiles serenely for the camera. The image was taken in 1988 when Graff represented her country at the Seoul Olympics. Agassi captioned the image with a simple heart emoji.
“Casual flex…” wrote a fan.
“Love that you’re always praising her! The goat,” wrote a second person.
Other tennis fans shared some statistics in the comments section, reminding the world of just how impressive Graff was as a tennis player. “Not only did she win gold at the Olympics that year, she also won all 4 Grand Slams,” wrote a fan. “When Novak lost to Daniil at US Open final in 2021, I had a deeper appreciation for Steffi’s Golden Slam achievement. People don’t talk about this enough!!”
