Sports Nicknames - The Punisher

Andre Agassi is an American tennis legend. The former number one in the sport has eight Grand Slam titles to his name as well as an Olympic gold medal.



Agassi's style was to dictate play from the baseline and systematically wear opponents down. He would move them from side to side and 'take their legs out'. This type of play earned him the nickname 'The Punisher'. Aside from his phenomenal fitness, Andre Agassi's serve return is arguably the best that ever was.

After winning all the biggest tennis titles, Agassi retired from playing in 2006.

He is married to another tennis great Steffi Graf.
