Andre Agassi Joins Tennis Hall of Fame: American tennis great Andre Agassi will be inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, R.I. Agassi, who was No. 1 for 101 weeks over his career, was playing outside the top 100 in 1999 when he won the French Open and became the fifth player to complete a career Grand Slam.

I hope he donates the mullet wig for permanent display.

That wig story is more embarrassing than the meth use.

I didn't like Agassi in the early days when he had a rep for tanking tournaments, but he brought a lot of excitement to the game. His '99 French Open was an amazing feat I wish I'd stopped to appreciate at the time.
