Andre Agassi delighted tennis fans on Sunday after he was spotted in the royal box on Day 14 of Wimbledon. Stepping out to watch the Gentlemen’s Singles final between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic, the Grand Slam winner was joined by fellow tennis player, Justin Gimelstob. Notably absent from Centre Court was Andre’s wife of 23 years and fellow Wimbledon legend, Steffi Graf.
Andre and Steffi – who married in 2001 – were first introduced at Wimbledon in 1992, so the grounds hold a lot of special memories for them. Together, they share two children – a daughter, Jaz, and a son, Jaden. Less than 24 hours before he arrived at Centre Court, Andre had posted the most adorable tribute to Steffi. Posting on Instagram, the father-of-two shared a video in which he googled Steffi’s many achievements. Captioning it with a love heart emoji, fans were touched by the gesture.
“I just love how much you admire her in every way. She was my all-time favourite growing up,” wrote one. “Steffi is the greatest of all time!” noted a second. Meanwhile, a third replied: “Proud husband there!! Legend.” “I remember this moment so well. I was a huge fan and was so excited you had finally gotten your Grand Slam!!!” noted a fan. “What a magical moment. I remember it like it was yesterday,” agreed a second.
Boasting an impressive career, Steffi holds seven Wimbledon singles titles. As for Andre, the Olympic gold medalist went on to win Wimbledon once. Andre, 54, was last spotted courtside at Wimbledon in 2017. At the time he was joined by tennis player, Mario Ancic. A star-studded day out, Andre’s latest appearance at Centre Court coincided with the Princess of Wales’s second public engagement since announcing her cancer diagnosis in March. Other A-listers in attendance at Wimbledon included Benedict Cumberbatch, Julia Roberts, Courteney Cox and Johnny McDaid.
