Andre Agassi's childhood was a relentless tennis grind, starting with a stint at a Florida camp that felt more like a prison. By thirteen, he was a dropout, but his rebellious style—dyed hair, punk fashion—soon made him an icon. Turning pro at sixteen, his new look and lightning-fast game promised to shake up tennis. Despite early struggles, Agassi eventually found his footing, capturing his first Wimbledon title in 1992 and becoming a beloved figure.
