Andre Agassi to be Inducted in Tennis Hall of Fame

An eight-time Grand Slam champion and Olympic gold medalist who was the No. 1 player in the world for 101 straight weeks, Andre Agassi will be inducted into the Hall of Fame on Saturday along with former WTA executive Fern “Peachy” Kellmeyer. Agassi joins wife Steffi Graf, who was inducted into the Hall in 2004.

The 40-year-old sports celebrity remains at no. 4 of tennis’ all-time biggest money earners list, with more than $30 million in his pocket in the last 12 months, and he took in millions more with endorsements that both played off and enhanced his rebellious image while making him the most popular player of his generation.
