Andre Agassi has become one of the first tennis players to join the social media platform Threads.
The new
social media platform by Meta, which is a direct competitor to Twitter, has
garnered a lot of attention worldwide as a potential alternative to Twitter,
given the discontent of many users.
Threads
allows users to post short messages, photos, and videos on a public network,
with features like likes, comments, and direct messaging.
The former
world No. 1 has opened his account and posted his first thread on Friday,
accompanied by two emojis.

Agassi has
been active on social media, often sharing posts on Instagram and Twitter. He
shares glimpses of his personal life and also offers opinions on sports such as
hockey and pickleball (where he has participated in several exhibitions), and,
of course, tennis.
“A happy
start to 2023. Wishing you all happiness this new year,” Agassi shared a
picture with his dog.
Also, when
Nick Bollettieri, the former coach of several tennis stars, passed away, it was
a significant loss for the tennis community. Agassi had a long-standing
partnership with Bollettieri, starting from 1986, and the coach played a
crucial role in helping Agassi become one of the top players on the tour in the
early 90s. Their collaboration was instrumental in Agassi's success and left a
lasting impact on his career.
“Our dear
friend, Nick Bollettieri, graduated from us last night. He gave so many a
chance to live their dream. He showed us all how life can be lived to the
fullest… Thank you, Nick,” Agassi wrote on his social medias.
Agassi Career
Agassi, the
former tennis player, was one of the most prominent athletes for 15 years and
is considered one of the great legends of the sport. He won eight Grand Slam
titles, including the Australian Open in 1995, 2000, 2001, and 2003, Roland
Garros in 1999, Wimbledon in 1992, and the US Open in 1994.
He became the first
male player in the Open Era to complete the Career Grand Slam with his victory
at the 1999 French Open. Alongside Agassi, only Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic
have achieved this feat by winning all four Grand Slam tournaments.
He spent a
total of 101 weeks as the world No. 1 between 1995 and 2003, placing him among
the top 10 male players with the most weeks at the top of the rankings in
history. Agassi's longevity and success in the sport have solidified his status
as one of the all-time greats in tennis.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
