- Has a fear of spiders.
- Is the only player to be ranked in the top 10 in 3 different decades.
- Is currently ranked as the world's 37th top player in the ATP Men's singles rankings.
- His dad built a mini-training camp in his back yard for his four children. The equipment included a full-size court, which Mike laid himself, and a tennis-serving machine rigged to fire balls faster than the usual speed. This is where Andre began to play tennis.
- Appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated after winning Wimbledon. The title of the issue was Andre the Giant.
- As a young up-and-coming player, Andre embraced a rebel image. He grew his hair to rocker length, sported an ear-ring, and wore colorful shirts that pushed tennis' still-strict sartorial boundaries. He boasted of a cheeseburger diet and endorsed the Canon Rebel camera. Image is everything was the ad's line, and it became Agassi's as well.
- Through the course of Andre's career, he has earned $31,110,975.
- Plays tennis righ-handed.
- Is a staunch Democrat and has donated over $84,000 for different Democratic candidates.
- Chose not to play at Wimbledon from 1988-1990, publicly stating that he did not wish to play there because of the event's traditionalism, particularly its predominantly white dress code to which players at the event are required to conform.
- When Andre was five years old, he was already practicing with pros such as Jimmy Connors and Roscoe Tanner.
- At age of 14, Andre was sent to teaching guru Nick Bollettieri's Tennis Academy in Florida. Anna Kournikova and Maria Sharapova also took training here.
- Wore a necklace that said Daddy Rocks at the Championships Wimbledon. His son, Jaden, made it for him for Fathers' Day.
