From multiple upsets to the rise of several youngsters like Amanda Anisimova, there wasn’t any shortage of entertainment at the 2025 Wimbledon. Fans enjoyed it as much as the 1992 champion, Andre Agassi. Be it sharing a hilarious moment with his daughter Jaz while exploring a dessert that resembled a tennis ball, or be it his sharp analysis of the matches during his commentary for the BBC, Agassi was as much into this tournament as any other tennis fan. Recently, he even shared a few glimpses of his memorable moments from the 2025 Wimbledon on his IG account. Guess who was among the first ones to react to this post?
In his IG post, Andre Agassi shares a few pictures where he was seen standing alongside American actor Matthew McConaughey and the former tennis player, Justin Gimelstob. There were pictures of him, standing beside American TV personality Amanda Kloots, and last but not least, his classy all-white attire with a hat on top drew several attentions on social media.
Andre Agassi captioned that post with “Wimbledon 2025.” Shortly after he shared this post on his IG account, American tennis star Danielle Collins was among the first ones to share her heartfelt reaction to Agassi’s Wimbledon experience. She dropped a comment on that post saying, “Legend!!”
Danielle Collins was among the pack of American superstars who made an early exit from the tournament this year. She went down to the eventual champion, Iga Swiatek, by 6-2,6-3 in the third round. Considering their bitter history in the past, from angry outbursts to cold handshakes, fans expected a thriller from this matchup. But Collins couldn’t match Swiatek’s level in this epic duel.
But coming back to her admiration for Andre Agassi, this wasn’t the first time that we’ve seen her showcasing her excitement surrounding her tennis “idol.” Last year, when she won the Miami Open, she was asked to share her thoughts on witnessing Andre Agassi’s presence in the stadium. Her reply to that was, “Really crazy playing in front of James and Andre Agassi today…Andre Agassi was like my return idol. I can’t tell you how much footage I have watched of Andre standing inside the baseline rip and returns to be out here and have the full circle moment. When I saw Andre was watching the match, I almost teared up. I’m like, this is surreal.”
She spoke about how she used to watch Andre Agassi on TV during her childhood days, and now seeing him witness her success from a closer distance makes her feel like a “crazy ride.” However, talking about Wimbledon 2025, everything wasn’t so pleasant for Agassi, though. But why?
Andre Agassi voiced a clear frustration live on air, during Taylor Fritz’s match
Taylor Fritz versus Carlos Alcaraz in the SF of the 2025 Wimbledon was a real blockbuster showdown. Both these players entered this tournament following a few title triumphs on grass. Fritz won the BOSS Open and Eastbourne Open, while Alcaraz secured the HSBC Championships. The Spaniard started the match pretty well, securing the first set by 6-4, but Fritz came back in the second. However, he failed to hold on to that moment, and as a result, Alcaraz won the match 6-4,5-7,6-3,7-6(6).
Andre Agassi was doing a commentary in that match, and he was seen quite impressed with Alcaraz’s brilliance as he drew a comparison of his movement on court to an octopus. Agassi even admitted, “I’m so glad I’m just watching instead of playing when I see somebody like Alcaraz.”
But during this match, he looked clearly frustrated at his BBC co-announcer, Andrew Castle, who kept bringing up the VIPs in attendance at Centre Court, deflecting away from the battle on the court time and again. Seeing his contact interruptions to highlight the stars in the Royal Box, at one point, Andre Agassi even said, “Don’t torture me. Let me finish my point…People watching are watching for tennis, not for this.” He didn’t look pleased with this at all, and perhaps that’s the only moment where we found Agassi a bit annoyed at the 2025 Wimbledon. The rest was a spectacular two-week tennis show!
