Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf’s Son Jaden Reveals Father’s Jolly Persona With a Running Joke in Their House About Tennis

There is a new Agassi in the block who he is already catching a lot of spotlight! Born to Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi, this junior Agassi is trying to do it big in baseball, carrying forward the legacy of his extremely talented athletic genes. As he embarks on his debut being the pitcher for Mahoning Valley Scrappers, the media as usual burdened him with questions that ultimately bring the fame surrounding his last name. Interestingly, Jaden Agassi takes a hilarious jibe with his response, naming the best tennis player in his house.

Appointed as the pitcher for Mahoning Valley Scrappers in the MLB Draft League, Jaden Agassi disclosed one of the funniest and most consistent jokes in their family. “It’s funny, my dad always says he’s not even the best tennis player in his own house,”- said Jaden.

Now for fans, it wasn’t too hard to decipher that Jaden Agassi was speaking about his equally talented mother and former world’s number-one tennis player, Steffi Graf. However, since his last name is Agassi, undoubtedly this brings the reference to his great father Andre Agassi. “That’s kind of the goal. Agassi is a very tennis last name, of course. The goal is to try to make it a baseball one,”- said Jaden Agassi.

Agassi and Graf’s son humorously revealed that despite his mother winning the only Golden Slam in the history of tennis, he has been mostly associated with his father. Graf has won a total of 22 Grand Slams including her incredible feat in 1988. That year, Graf won all four Grand Slam titles including a gold medal in the Olympics. Jaden’s mother is the only tennis player in both male and female sections to win all the Grand Slam tours at least four times each. Therefore, when Jaden is associated with Andre Agassi for his last name, the American former ATP star candidly jokes about how less qualified he is as a tennis player compared to his incredibly talented wife, Steffi Graf.

On the other hand, Agassi also has a record of 8 Grand Slam titles with one Olympic gold medal. However, he carefully chooses to put forward his wife’s legacy before him, showing the secret of their happy married life for 23 years. Agassi recalled his wife Steffi Graf’s contribution when he won the Madrid Open title in 2002. “the support from Stefanie is a crucial part of that because there’s just a lot more work that goes into moving from week to week. She makes it so I don’t have to spend endless weeks on the road without her or Jaden. I have wonderful support there,“- said Agassi.

Jaden Agassi’s statement showcased the lovely and strong bond of their family. It also offered fans to see how the Agassi family never lets anyone down but takes immense pride in Graf’s success. While Jaden’s statement revealed a glimpse of their amazing family, it also brings back the memories of how the kids dealt with their parents’ limitless fame over time.

Andre Agassi recalled how Jaden and Jazz gradually realized his and Graf’s worldwide popularity

Jaden Agassi’s statement might show that they had an amazing childhood given their parents are one of the talented and popular celebrity athletes in the United States, but his father once recalled how difficult it was for the kids to understand their fame primarily. “Somehow there’s going to be this moment where they go, ‘These are my parents.’ So when people are coming up to us in grocery stores, [Jaden and Jaz] were like, ‘What’s up with these people?’” – said Andre Agassi.

After that, he continued to explain how Jaden and Jazz realized over time why people make such a big deal of their parents. This world’s former number-one ATP star recalled- “They start to realize they’re looking behind the Wizard of Oz curtain and they realize it’s not all that. So there’s a healthy balance that kind of is inevitable through the whole process,” 

Nevertheless, Jaden Agassi’s revelation about his family shows that despite their fame, they maintain a close-knit and healthy relationship. While Jaden had a great upbringing, he also went through the pressure of being born to a famous tennis player. However, the way he is taking up that pressure positively to make Agassi a popular name in baseball, fans think he has a bright future ahead.
