A teenage phenomenon, Agassi contested multiple major finals before winning his first at the 1992 Wimbledon Championships.

He was then troubled by personal issues during the mid-to-late 1990s, and despite an Olympic gold medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Agassi's ranking declined to as low as No.
