Agassi is a former world No. 1 who was one of tennis' most dominant players from the early 1990s to the mid-2000s. Generally considered by critics and fellow players to be one of the greatest tennis players of all time, Agassi has been called the greatest service returner ever to play the game and was described by the BBC upon his retirement as "perhaps the biggest worldwide star in the sport's history". As a result, he is credited for helping to revive the popularity of tennis during the 1990s.

This March 1999 issue of Tennis Magazine was signed in black by Agassi and includes a JSA sticker and COA.
