How they play

Andre Agassi won eight Grand Slam singles titles, Olympic gold, and the career Grand Slam. Behind the vivid image were an exceptionally early contact point and a precise return.

He takes the rising ball as early as possible, removing time from the opponent, then drives deep and fast from both wings. The return is not merely defense; he uses it as the first attack.

What to watch

If you are new to this player

Watch him step forward and meet the ball before it reaches the top of its bounce.
On return, notice how compact preparation and centered contact take priority over a large backswing.

For a closer look

Compare his preparation when changing return direction between crosscourt and down the line.
Observe both the advantage and the risk of standing close to the baseline to reduce the opponent’s recovery time.
