It’s safe to say that Andre Agassi is a household name in American tennis. Only five players in the Open Era have won all four Grand Slam tournaments, and he is one among them. However, he is someone who was quite famous for his brash attitude ever since his playing days. The American tennis player had numerous verbal altercations with both his opponents and the chair umpire throughout his playing career.

He had a fierce temper and a propensity for aggression on the court, which unfortunately seeped into his private life, most notably at the time he was married to Brooke Shields. Shields has already discussed the horrid things her ex-husband said to her during their divorce.
