Inside Wimbledon icon Andre Agassi's life with famous wife after just 4 people attended wedding
Tennis legend Andre Agassi saw his private life enter the spotlight during his playing career despite a tiny wedding ceremony and he has been busy since retiring
Former Wimbledon champion Andre Agassi is one of the big-name stars confirmed for the BBC's coverage of the Championships in 2026. The American, who claimed victory at SW19 in 1992, made his debut with the broadcaster last year and will be back for the latter stages of the tournament.
Agassi, 56, won eight Grand Slam singles titles during his impressive career, including four Australian Open victories. He will be joined by famous faces during this summer's TV coverage, with 2014 women's singles runner-up Eugenie Bouchard joining the BBC roster for the very first time.
Since retiring in 2006, the American has stayed active physically and kept himself busy with a number of ventures. However, another sport has also found its way into his life.

In the 90s, Agassi was one half of a high-profile celebrity couple during his marriage to American actress Brooke Shields. The pair divorced in 1999 and he subsequently wed seven-time Wimbledon champion Steffi Graf.
Agassi and Graf tied the knot in 2001 and the ceremony was as intimate as it gets, with just four people present. They were joined by their respective mothers and no one else, opting to forgo a lavish celebration with hundreds of guests.
The tennis power couple have two children together, son Jaden and daughter Jaz. The family have kept their personal lives firmly out of the spotlight, and their youngsters - now both adults - have made only the occasional public appearance.
Jaden has pursued his own sporting passion at the University of Southern California, though he has opted for baseball rather than tennis, while Jaz has shown a propensity for 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.
Almost two decades have passed since Agassi hung up his racquet, with the 2006 US Open serving as his final bow from the sport. He has returned to the court for exhibition matches in the years that followed, while also venturing into coaching.
Following a brief stint coaching Novak Djokovic between 2017 and 2018, he went on to lead Team World when they defeated Team Europe at the 2025 Laver Cup. Despite facing high-profile stars such as Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev, Agassi's squad emerged victorious. Taylor Fritz and Alex De Minaur were amongst the standout performers in a 15-9 triumph.
Beyond tennis, however, one of Agassi's primary interests is another racquet sport, pickleball. Both he and Graf have been spotted out on court and this enthusiasm has been supported financially.
Agassi was amongst the prominent investors in Ballers, a start-up establishing sports and entertainment facilities across the United States with an emphasis on pickleball and padel. The start-up secured $20m (£15.2m) in a Series A funding round, with fellow tennis stars Sloane Stephens and Kim Clijsters amongst the others to throw their financial support behind it.
The former champ had previously dismissed claims that pickleball posed a threat to tennis participation, whether for players or spectators. "I love watching pickleball, but only until I get to that point of wanting to go play it," he 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."
