Las Vegas, NV — Tennis legends Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf, widely regarded as two of the sport’s most iconic and beloved champions, made headlines on Monday as they shared an exciting and heartfelt announcement that has sent waves of enthusiasm throughout the sports world and beyond.
In a joint appearance at a press conference held in their hometown of Las Vegas, the husband-and-wife duo announced the launch of a new global youth tennis initiative aimed at expanding access to the sport for underserved communities across the world. The program, titled “Serve for the Future”, will provide equipment, training, and academic support to children in areas where tennis is often out of reach.
The couple also hinted at additional plans on the horizon — including the possibility of returning to the tennis spotlight with a special exhibition tour in select cities.

A Shared Vision for Impact
“We’ve always believed in the power of tennis to change lives,” said Agassi, an eight-time Grand Slam winner and former world No. 1. “This isn’t about competition. It’s about opening doors for kids who may never have picked up a racket.”
Steffi Graf, a 22-time Grand Slam champion and Olympic gold medalist, echoed that sentiment.
“Tennis gave us everything,” Graf said. “And now, we want to use our platform to give back — to pass on the joy, discipline, and confidence the sport gave us.”
The program will launch in the United States, Germany, and India — three countries with deep ties to the couple — and will expand to other regions within the next three years. The initiative will partner with schools, local clubs, and non-profits to identify promising youth and provide scholarships for development programs.

More Than Tennis
What sets “Serve for the Future” apart is its holistic approach. In addition to tennis training, the initiative will offer academic mentoring and life skills development. Agassi, who has long championed education reform through his Andre Agassi Foundation for Education, emphasized the importance of supporting the full potential of each child.
“This isn’t just about making athletes,” Agassi said. “It’s about developing leaders, scholars, and strong individuals.”
The program is also set to feature guest coaching appearances from current and former tennis stars, adding extra excitement and inspiration for participants. Agassi and Graf confirmed that they will be directly involved in the camps and training sessions.

Exhibition Tour in the Works?
While the announcement centered on their youth initiative, Agassi and Graf also teased something long rumored among tennis fans — a potential worldwide exhibition tour.
When asked directly, Agassi smiled and said, “Let’s just say we’re dusting off our rackets. You might be seeing us back on court soon — and not just for charity events.”
Graf added, “We miss the connection with fans, and there’s something magical about being on the court again. It’s still early, but we’re exploring it.”
Though dates and venues have not been confirmed, the couple suggested that any exhibition matches would be closely tied to their charitable work, possibly serving as fundraising events for the new foundation.
