Being the child of two superstar tennis players – Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf – isn’t easy. In trying to cope with all unrealistic expectations, most ‘star kids’ would succumb to pressure. But Jaden Agassi is doing a great job by making a name for himself away from the world of tennis.
In fact, Jaden Agassi is making the best use of the sporting genes he has got from Andre and Steffi, even though he has not followed in their footsteps entirely. Instead of pursuing tennis, the 22-year-old is making it big in college baseball.
Jaden Agassi, a member of the University of South Carolina Trojans team (USC Trojans), often posts videos of him pitching. Recently, an Instagram user named Tennis Legend reposted a clip from the youngster’s X account.

Looking good kiddo! Keep working and you’ll find a great home!
