One of the greatest and flashiest men's players ever, Andre Agassi cemented his place in the International Tennis Hall of Fame early in his career when his baseline shot-making prowess and rock-star long hair took the world by storm. Winner of eight majors including the Career Grand Slam, Agassi could win on any surface against any opponent. His epic battles with American rival Pete Sampras were must-see-TV events, unless you were lucky enough to see them in person. If not for some off-the-court issues, which came to light post-retirement in his autobiography, who knows how many more grand slam titles the "Rebel" would have won.
