become tradition over the last few years at Wimbledon, Andre Agassi returned to SW19 to work with the media from the semi finals onward.<\/p>\n<p>The American legend has plenty of great memories from the grass court Grand Slam, nonemore so than the time he won the event in 1992, after beating Goran Ivanisevic in the final.<\/p>\n<p>Agassi has returned to the sport in recent years to share his expert wisdom, most notably as the team captain for Team World at the Laver Cup.<\/p>\n<p>In his guise as an analyst, he was in the commentary booth alongside Andrew Castle for Novak Djokovic\u2019s mouth-watering semi final clash with Jannik Sinner.<\/p>\n<p>Early on in the match, before the two icons truly got going, Andre Agassi spotted a moment of etiquette between the pair that he wasn\u2019t happy with.<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic won a point thanks to the ball hitting the net, which, as has become a custom in the game, the 24-time Grand Slam champion swiftly apologised for.<\/p>\n<p>Agassi was bemused by the act of etiquette and explained why he thinks that sportsmanship should be removed from the sport.<\/p>\n<h2>More Wimbledon news<\/h2>\n<p><a

That\u2019s what I was. I went through my teenage rebellion, and I took issue with any rules that were imposed on this game,\u201d said the American.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf it was traditional to wear white, I wouldn\u2019t do it. It was more a rebellion than a particular strategy. The colours I don\u2019t mind so much, but there were some other rules around here that I\u2019m not terribly fond of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/andre-agassi\">Agassi<\/a> is also expected to return to the commentary booth for the men\u2019s final, which will be between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/alexander-zverev\">Zverev<\/a> and either <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/novak-djokovic\">Djokovic<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jannik-sinner\">Sinner<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andre Agassi bemused by what Novak Djokovic did against Jannik Sinner at Wimbledon Liam McMillen 10 Jul 2026 7:00 PM Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, and Andre Agassi As has become tradition over the last few years at Wimbledon, Andre Agassi returned to SW19 to work with the media from the semi finals onward.
