Andre Agassi proudly declared his wife Steffi Graf as his all-time ‘GOAT’ of tennis alongside a heartwarming trip down memory lane from the German’s record-breaking triumph at the 1988 Olympics. Widely regarded as one of the greatest players ever, Graf won 22 Grand Slam singles titles during her time on the tour.
She was ranked No. 1 in the women’s charts for 377 weeks, the most by any female player, and won a whopping 107 career titles over a 16-year career.
Graf’s achievement as a 19-year-old in 1988, however, will live long in the memory of tennis fans. She became the first player in history to win the Golden Slam. A term coined by the media at the time, the Golden Slam was bestowed upon anybody who won all four Grand Slams and the Olympic gold in the same calendar year. Graf remains the only person in the sport’s history to have achieved the feat.
Agassi recently celebrated that historic achievement on Instagram with an archived picture of Graf clad in a German jumpsuit showing off her Gold medal in Seoul.
Responding to fans in the comments section, Agassi echoed the sentiment of one fan who deemed Graf as the ‘GOAT’ of tennis.
Another fan cheekily suggested being her husband was a ‘casual flex.’ Agassi corrected him by saying that it was in fact a ‘full flex.’
