Andre Agassi, then 18 years old, made the world talk during the 1988 US Open held in Queens. It wasn't about his tennis skills, but the tiny, acid-washed denim Nike shorts that he wore on court.
Agassi's mullet and shorts combo has become the image that people associate with him. Few would remember, however, that Agassi may have been one of the very first professional tennis players to wear a timepiece during game play.
Nick Gould, better known as @niccoloy on Instagram (and to you and me) is the friend who helped us confirm that Agassi was wearing an Ebel watch. Nick found the relevant ad to confirm it.
