Andre Agassi looks back at his triumph at the 1995 Miami Open

Andre Agassi

Andre Agassi recently took a trip down memory lane and reminisced about his iconic triumph at the Miami Open in 1995. The Masters 1000 tournament was held in Key Biscayne, Florida, that year and saw the former World No. 1 win his second title at the event.

Agassi was seeded No. 2 and had little to no trouble in quashing Shuzo Matsuoka, Thomas Ho, MaliVai Washington, and No. 8 seed Wayne Ferreira to reach the semifinal. He faced No. 12 seed Magnus Larsson in the last four and emerged triumphant in a three-set affair to set up a clash with top seed Pete Sampras in the final.

In the all-American contest, Agassi came back from a set down to win the title by bettering Sampras in the third set tiebreaker, 3-6, 6-2, 7-6 (3). The 53-year-old took to Instagram to share an image of him in triumph at the 1995 Miami Open.

"1995 🌊," he captioned the post.

Agassi would go on to defend his title in 1996 after Goran Ivanisevic was forced to retire midway through the final. He returned to the winner's circle in Miami in 2001 after beating Jan-Michael Gambill in the title contest. Agassi then completed a three-peat at the tournament by lifting the Miami Open trophy in 2002 and 2003.
