The 1992 Wimbledon Championships hold a special place in Agassi's heart for various reasons. He claimed his maiden Major title there and at the Champions' Ball, crossed paths with Steffi Graf too, who had won the women's title.

Agassi took to Instagram to share a memorable throwback picture of the two of them together at the Ball. While Graf looks quite chic, the American's wild hairstyle is in stark contrast to his dapper suit.

The two wouldn't start dating until seven years later and then tied the knot in 2001. They remain happily married to this day and have two children.

Former Italian player backs Jannik Sinner as the player with more mental fortitude than Carlos Alcaraz

Former tennis player Paolo Bertolucci has given Sinner the edge when it comes to mental strength on the court over Alcaraz. While the Spaniard was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, the Italian nabbed his very first Major title over Daniil Medvedev in the final.

Bertolucci opined that Sinner is stronger mentally and Alcaraz's showmanship might cost him in the future. While his highlight-worthy shots for the public are enjoyable, they could also lead to his downfall.

"Mentally [Carlos Alcaraz] he is light years away from Sinner. He looks for something else besides the point, many times he seems to be having fun and involving the public because his tennis is made up of special effects. They are beautiful things, which drive you crazy, but sometimes they make you lose games," - Bertolucci said.

Sinner has opted to rest following his triumph at the Australian Open and withdrew from the Open 13 Provence. He'll return to action at the Rotterdam Open from February 12, while Alcaraz will compete in the Argentina Open the same week.
