Docuseries about eight-time Grand Slam champion Andre Agassi announced

Andre Agassi, one of tennis's most significant ever stars, will be the subject of a docuseries after an announcement by Apple TV.

This year's US Open will mark 20 years since Agassi's emotional retirement at Flushing Meadows. The home favorite bowed out after a four-set defeat against Benjamin Becker in front of a packed Arthur Ashe Stadium.

During his career, Agassi was tennis's biggest star. His baseline game revolutionized the sport and inspired generations of players, while the eight-time Major winner's off-court activities drew significant media scrutiny.

That background means Agassi's life still generates attention. Until the last few years, he was not actively involved in tennis and focused on doing other things, but his appointment as Team World's Laver Cup captain brought him back into the tennis spotlight.

Therefore, it might be the perfect time to make a docuseries about him. Apple TV revealed the project without giving a confirmed date for its release or an exact synopsis of what it will be about, but the announcement is still exciting.

Chris Smith, the Emmy winner who directed Netflix's Tiger King, will direct the docuseries. Former player Justin Gimelstob, who coached John Isner to the 2018 Wimbledon semifinal, has also been confirmed in a role of some type.

The docuseries could focus on several areas, such as Agassi's childhood, the hatred he felt for tennis (as revealed in his infamous autobiography), off-court controversies when he played, and his post-playing career.

Whether the docuseries will focus on multiple or a singular topic is uncertain. For now, fans can be excited about the prospect of watching something involving one of the most iconic players in ATP history.

In 2017, Novak Djokovic worked briefly with Andre Agassi. Although they remain on good terms today, their partnership did not work out as hoped, with the 24-time Grand Slam champion suffering uncharacteristically poor results before parting ways with him.

Agassi served as a consultant coach for Grigor Dimitrov from 2018 to 2020, but then stepped away from coaching players. There were rumors about him getting back into the role when he and Holger Rune trained in Washington last year.

Speaking about the experience afterward, Rune said it was great for him and did not rule out working with the four-time Australian Open champion again in the future, fueling speculation about a partnership being likely.

Nothing came of that afterward, and any possibility was dampened further by Rune sustaining a severe Achilles injury in the closing stages of 2025. That issue will keep him out for several months, and he may not return this season.

It was an utterly devastating moment for Rune, who had already slipped significantly behind Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. Challenging them in the future will be even harder after a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Agassi will have his second year as a Laver Cup captain this year. Team World won last year's tournament under his guidance, and he had a close relationship with the players. Whether he will work with anyone individually is uncertain at this point.
