He also won an [[Tennis at the Summer Olympics|Olympic gold medal]], the [[1990 ATP Tour World Championships – Singles|1990 ATP Tour World Championships]], 17 [[ATP Masters 1000 tournaments|Masters]] titles and was part of the winning [[United States Davis Cup team]]s in 1990, 1992 and 1995.<ref name="tennis" /> Agassi is one of five men in the [[History of tennis#Open Era|Open Era]] to achieve the career Grand Slam in singles,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.atpworldtour.com/News/Tennis/2010/09/36-US-Open-Week-2/US-Open-Monday-Final-Nadal-Completes-Career-Slam.aspx |title=Nadal Completes Career Grand Slam With US Open Title |website=ATP Tennis |access-date=January 27, 2011 |archive-date=January 25, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120125053941/http://www.atpworldtour.com/News/Tennis/2010/09/36-US-Open-Week-2/US-Open-Monday-Final-Nadal-Completes-Career-Slam.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref> and one of three men to complete the [[List of Grand Slam men's singles champions#Career Golden Slam|career Golden Slam]] in singles.<ref name="SI" />

A teen phenom and rebel, Agassi contested multiple major finals before winning his first at the [[1992 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles|1992 Wimbledon Championships]]. He won the [[1994 US Open – Men's singles|1994 US Open]] and [[1995 Australian Open – Men's singles|1995 Australian Open]] to reach the world No. 1 ranking for the first time, but was troubled by personal issues during the mid-to-late 1990s. Despite an Olympic gold medal at the [[Tennis at the 1996 Summer Olympics – Men's singles|1996 Atlanta Olympics]], Agassi's ranking declined to as low as No. 141 in 1997, prompting many to believe that his career among the elite was over.<ref name="greatath" /> Following a rigorous training regimen, Agassi then enjoyed the most successful run of his career over the next several years. He returned to the world No. 1 position in 1999 after completing the career Golden Slam at the [[1999 French Open – Men's singles|French Open]], and during this latter half of his career also claimed a US Open title and three Australian Open titles. Competing well into the 2000s, Agassi retired from the sport following the [[2006 US Open – Men's singles|2006 US Open]].

Agassi is regarded by many as one of the greatest tennis players of all time.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Tennis.com |title=The 50 Greatest Players of the Open Era (M): No. 11, Andre Agassi |url=https://www.tennis.com/news/articles/the-50-greatest-players-of-the-open-era-m-no-11-andre-agassi |access-date=2023-02-25 |website=Tennis.com |language=en |archive-date=February 25, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230225001118/https://www.tennis.com/news/articles/the-50-greatest-players-of-the-open-era-m-no-11-andre-agassi |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Ashish |first=Dev |title=Andre Agassi: His 10 Greatest Achievements |url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/60623-andre-agassi-his-10-greatest-achievements |access-date=2023-02-25 |website=Bleacher Report |language=en |archive-date=February 25, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230225001118/https://bleacherreport.com/articles/60623-andre-agassi-his-10-greatest-achievements |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/olympics_blog/2008/08/federer-gets-hi.html |title=Roger Federer gets his gold medal |newspaper=Los Angeles Times |date=August 16, 2008 |access-date=June 6, 2011 |archive-date=March 17, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110317040416/http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/olympics_blog/2008/08/federer-gets-hi.html |url-status=live }}</ref> He was the first man to win all four singles majors across three different surfaces ([[Hardcourt|hard]], [[Clay court|clay]] and [[Grass court|grass]]), and remains the most recent American man to win the [[French Open]] (in 1999)<ref>{{cite web |title=Singles winners from 1891 to 2024 |url=https://www.rolandgarros.com/en-us/palmares |access-date=July 13, 2024 |website=[[French Open|Roland Garros]] |archive-date=May 15, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220515192917/https://www.rolandgarros.com/fr-fr/palmares |url-status=live }}</ref> and the [[Australian Open]] (in [[2003 Australian Open – Men's singles|2003]]).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.australianopen.com/en_AU/event_guide/history/players/107.html |title=Australian Open Past Men's Singles Champions |website=Australian Open |access-date=January 26, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110122044440/http://www.australianopen.com/en_AU/event_guide/history/players/107.html |archive-date=January 22, 2011 }}</ref> During his 20-plus year tour career, Agassi was known as "The Punisher" due to his excellent [[Serve (tennis)#Returning|return of serve]].<ref>Jhabvala, Nick.
