The Andre Agassi Foundation has teamed up with Milk and Honey Sports, along with NFL players Brandon Facyson, Amari Burney and Sincere McCormick, to donate to the Boys and Girls Club of Southern Nevada (BGCSN).

After hanging up his racquet in 2006, Agassi has been extensively involved with philanthropy. The Andre Agassi Foundation for Education helps provide education to children through its public charter schools. It also works towards making an impact on public education in the US by 'influencing state and national policy', as per the foundation's website.

The BGCSN expressed their gratitude to their guests for inspiring youngsters through sports drills and giveaways, which included tracksuits along with other gifts. Agassi's daughter Jaz Agassi, meanwhile, took to Instagram to re-post the club's pictures and message.

"A heartfelt thank you to #Brandon Facyson, #Amari Burney and #Sincere McCormick from the Raiders, @milkhoneysports and @andreagassifoundation who not only brought their A-game to sports drills but also showered our youth with gifts and track suits. Your generosity and dedication are making a lasting impact on these young hearts," wrote the BGCSN on Instagram.

Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras famously locked horns in the 1999 Wimbledon final. The latter won the contest in straight sets to lift his sixth Wimbledon trophy.

Sampras' coach at the time, Paul Annacone, recently recalled the epic clash and shared the post-match conversation he had with the 14-time Grand Slam champion regarding his serve.

In an episode of the Rock n Roll Tennis podcast, Annacone shared how Sampars was confident of his serve even against an opponent like Agassi, who was known for his exceptional returns.

"I said it [second-serve speed] was like seven miles an hour [faster] on average and he [Sampras] goes 'really?' and I go 'yeah.' I said why is that and he just paused for a second and he goes well two reasons, a few reasons actually, 'one Andre's the greatest returner out there, so I have to and the second reason is because I can'," Annacone said [at 34:10 in the Rock n Roll Tennis podcast].

Annacone added that the 1999 Wimbledon final was one of the best matches he had ever witnessed on grass courts. Sampras went on to win the Wimbledon title the following year as well.
