Born to Play Tennis
為網球而生
The son of an Olympic boxer from Iran, Andre Agassi began playing tennis at the age of three, with a racket taped to his hand. He turned professional when he was sixteen years old. His breakthrough came when he won the 1992 Wimbledon tournament.
安德烈·阿加西出生在一個奧運拳擊運動員之家，他的父親曾經代表伊朗參加奧運會的拳擊比賽，但他是個為網球而生的天才運動員。當他三歲，還只有一個網球拍高的時候，他就開始了網球啟蒙訓練。1986年，年僅十六歲的阿加西開始他的職業生涯。他的職業生涯的第一個突破在1992年的溫布爾登錦標賽，他奪取了個人職業生涯的第一個大滿貫。
Agassi has earned 57 singles tournament championships, including eight Grand Slam events, his most recent being the 2003 Australian Open.
從那以后，在整個職業生涯中，阿加西總共獲得57項冠軍頭銜，其中包括八個大滿貫，最近的一個是在03年澳大利亞公開賽上取得的。
In 1996, Agassi took time off from his professional career to represent the United States at the Atlanta Olympics. Surprisingly, he struggled in the early rounds. He needed two tiebreakers to beat Jonas Björkman of Sweden; he lost the opening set to Andrea Gaudenzi of Italy and, in the quarterfinals, he barely defeated Wayne Ferreira of South Africa 7-5, 4-6, 7-5. However, by the time of the final, Agassi was at the top of his game and he beat Sergi Bruguera of Spain 6-2, 6-3, 6-1 to add the Olympic title to his many other achievements. Agassi is married to fellow Olympic tennis champion Steffi Graf.
1996年，阿加西代表美國隊出戰亞特蘭大夏季奧運會，并獲得男子單打冠軍。盡管處于職業生涯巔峰，但阿加西這個唯一的奧運金牌之路也并不平坦，對陣瑞典的比約·克曼時，他經過兩個搶七決勝局才過關；在與意大利的安德雷·高登奇交鋒時，他失掉第一局；半決賽中，他也以7-5才艱難的戰勝南非的韋納·費雷拉，直到決賽時，阿加西才表現出他的最佳狀態，以6-2，6-3和6-1輕松戰勝西班牙的塞爾希·布魯格拉，為他獎牌榜上增添了唯一的一枚奧運會金牌。
