Andre Agassi & Steffi Graf’s son Jaden on making a name for himself. The goal is to make it a basket ball one
Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf’s son Jaden Agassi understands that the name Agassi has become synonymous with tennis thanks to his prodigious father. Regardless, the American, who has chosen a different career for himself in another sport, wants to make a name for himself in the baseball arena.
An eight-time Grand Slam champion, Agassi is one of the most accomplished tennis players produced in the United States. He is also an Olympic gold medalist, a former World No. 1, and earned more than $30 million in prize money throughout his career. For his contributions to the sport, he was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2011.
Agassi and Graf married in 2001, and have two children — Jaden and his sister Jaz. Neither have taken to tennis like their parents, with Jaden following his heart in baseball and Jaz pursuing her own interests like dance and fashion.
Jaden Agassi represents the USC Trojans (University of Southern California) at the college level, and also played recently for the Mahoning Valley Scrappers, a summer team of the MLB Draft League.
During his time at the Scrappers, the 22-year-old spoke about the challenges of being a child born to superstar athletes, admitting that people first started taking note of his last name in middle school.
Be that as it may, Jaden Agassi believes in his own abilities to make Agassi a household name among baseball fans soon. He also expressed his gratitude to his father Agassi and mother Graf for the innumerable ways in which they help him out to realize his dreams.
