Agassi Shines as a Broadcast Analyst During 2025 French Open
After retiring, many former athletes shift into broadcasting careers, experiencing mixed results. However, during TNT’s coverage of the 2025 French Open, Andre Agassi has quickly demonstrated his capabilities.
Agassi, a legendary figure in tennis with eight major singles titles, including a win at the 1999 French Open, is particularly well-suited to provide insights on what it takes to succeed in the sport.
When TNT Sports announced Agassi’s participation as a studio analyst for its inaugural French Open coverage, it sparked significant interest. The broadcasting landscape has shown that not every elite player transitions smoothly into this role, leaving many to wonder how Agassi would perform.
Thus far, Agassi has not only met expectations but exceeded them, especially evident on Friday when he provided an insightful analysis of Carlos Alcaraz’s backhand improvements over the past year.

Agassi remarked, “I appreciate the adjustments he’s made. Last year, he took the ball higher with a slightly bent right arm. This year, he has a straighter arm, allowing for a more effective strike, reminiscent of a golf swing. This enhances his power and control, giving him options during play.”
Agassi’s analysis has garnered positive responses, and many tennis fans and media applauded his work on social media. Chicco Nacion from The Score commented on the need for Agassi and Jim Courier’s insights at every Grand Slam.
The Washington Post’s Sally Jenkins highlighted Agassi’s skills, indicating that his established reputation in tennis may lead to more broadcasting opportunities in the future based on his impressive performance at this year’s French Open.
