citizenship
editAndre Agassi is also an Iranian citizen since his father is an Iranian citizen. It is not possible to renounce the Iranian citizenship. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:CB:DF07:E000:94D8:C51D:529C:64CA (talk) 20:37, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
Infobox photo
editHmmm, Luk, do you really think there is a significant difference between a photo being 12 years old and 19 years old? We can barely tell it's Agassi in the 2006 photo, let alone how recent the photo is :D Surtsicna (talk) 00:06, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
'Greatest returner' lacking due weight nowadays?
editI googled the sources for "greatest returner tennis" & many (if not most) of them bring up Djokovic (& sometimes Murray) in the equation. It seems less people would now consider Agassi the best ('one of the best' though is another story). According to some of the stats, he is actually ranked relatively low in that aspect: https://www.atptour.com/en/stats/leaderboard?boardType=return&timeFrame=Career&surface=all&versusRank=all&formerNo1=false https://www.ultimatetennisstatistics.com/statsLeaders. Only in the 2nd serve returns is he the highest, so if we're going to keep this, it'd have to be changed to "one of the greatest" or "greatest 2nd serve returner" at best...Barely made one (talk) 04:22, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
- That happens to all players over time. Djokovic will soon be relegated to ho hum also. It's sad. As for the subjective term of goat, it should not be in these articles at all. Both Agassi and Djokovic articles should simply say they are considered great returners or at most among the greatest of returners. Nothing more. Fyunck(click) (talk) 05:33, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
Re: Winning a major on all three surfaces
editJimmie Conners did not ever win the French Open which is played on a clay surface. However, Jimmie Conners played and won the US Open on grass, the US Open on clay, and the US Open on hard court surfaces. 2600:100D:B019:3A1B:C966:580D:572D:13E5 (talk) 13:59, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
Ethnicity
editIn Andre's father's book, he discusses his family history and states both sides of his family are Armenian. Neither Andre or Emmanuel make any mention of being Assyrian in either of their respective biographies. This appears to be a case of false information being forked by other sources, which mistakenly believe it to be true. Emmanuel Agassi apparently could speak Assyrian and attended some Assyrian-American cultural events, which may be the origin of the factoid. But he makes it clear his father was an Armenian from Kiev and his mother was an Armenian from somewhere in Ottoman Armenia. KhndzorUtogh (talk) 22:57, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
