Tennis viewers across the globe are currently enjoying a feat of entertainment in the form of live tennis Down Under with the 2026 ATP and WTA tennis seasons officially in full swing, with all paths leading up to the Australian Open. However, there is something else coming for tennis fans to gander at. A docuseries on tennis icon Andre Agassi has been announced by Apple TV.

The news has been announced 16 years after the American wrote his memoir, 'Open: An Autobiography,' which has been widely regarded as one of the greatest sports books in American literature.

It will follow the tennis career of Agassi spanning over two decades with the tremendous highs and devastating lows documented throughout. The multi-part documentary series will be directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Chris Smith, produced by Smith’s Library Films, and executive produced by Stacy Smith and Justin Gimelstob.

A docuseries alone mya not be able to sum up the legendary career of one of the best American tennis players to compete. His talent was foreshow from a very early age. As a teenager he reached a high ranking of world number three while making it to a Roland Garros and two US Open semi-finals between 1988 and 1989.

A year later, he made the final in both of these events, subsequently losing the brace of them. He was not competing in the other two majors yet, but the success would come in them as well as the tournaments in New York and Paris. He proved he could get over the line in the 1990 Masters Cup (now the ATP Finals) as he got the better of Stefan Edberg.

His first Grand Slam triumph would come in 1992 at Wimbledon, an event he previously refused to play in due to the strict traditions. He was now reaping the rewards of his overturned decisions. Two years later, he won his second and third Grand Slam on the spin, with them being the US Open and the Australian. It was the first time Agassi had made the venture Down Under, but it was worth it. Later in 1995 he made it to the pinnacle of tennis, world number one. He was on top of the world for 30 weeks when a decrease of time on the court allowed Pete Sampras to rise above him.

It would begin a rapid decline where he ended up tumbling down the order in the culminating years, ending as low as 141st in the world in 1997. It was not just on the court, but away from it where his life was getting out of hand. He failed a drugs test, was in a messy relationship and had wrist injuries which ass added up to his demise which saw him fall out of love with the sport.

In 1998, Agassi found that burning passion return with him rigorously working on a comeback. At the end of the year, he was at number six in the world. A year later, he was back at number one. Three Grand Slam finals helped this massively, with a Wimbledon defeat sandwiched between triumphs at Roland Garros and the US Open, helping him complete the career Grand Slam.

He continued to plough on, winning another three Australian Open titles in 2000, 20001 and 2003. His last Grand Slam final came at the age of 35-years-old at Flushing Meadows, where he was defeated by Roger Federer, a changing of the guard.

This must have been sensed by Agassi, who hung up his racket a year later. He ended his illustrious career with eight Grand Slam titles, a Tour Finals title, an Olympic Gold Medal, 60 ATP titles and in total 101 weeks as world number one in six separate stints. Overall, it is a legendary career for a decorated athlete, with he upcoming docuseries set to dissect all of it.
