Agassi Roland Garros US Open

First a coach after his retirement from tennis in 2006, Agassi later made several appearances in the media. As a consultant for TNT Sports during the recent Roland-Garros, the American discussed his future in the media.

"You know, I worked for the BBC during the Wimbledon semifinals with Tim Henman and Andrew Castle. I really enjoyed that experience because there were no commercials. We could really talk about tennis. I don't like reducing what happens on the court to small, uninformative clips.

That's not my way of seeing things, it's not my way of viewing the game, and it's not a format that allows for a serious conversation about what's really happening," he stated in an interview relayed by Tennis Up To Date.

For reference, the 55-year-old has won eight Grand Slam titles, including two at the US Open (1994 and 1999), where he is currently present. The former champion was notably spotted with his daughter in the stands of Arthur Ashe Stadium.
