"Thinking of you" - Andre Agassi fondly looks back on spending time with Carlos Alcaraz at Australian Open 2024

Andre Agassi reminisced about his time in Melbourne during the 2024 Australian Open. He also remembered the time spent with Carlos Alcaraz before the event kicked off.

Agassi, widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, enjoyed the most success at the Melbourne Major winning four out of his eight Grand Slams at the event. He lifted the trophy in 1995, 2000, 2001, and 2003. He also reached the semifinals twice in 1996 and 2004 and boasts an incredible 48-5 win/loss record at the Major.

The American legend arrived in Melbourne ahead of the first Grand Slam of the year for the trophy presentation. On his arrival, he met up with Carlos Alcaraz, a then-two-time Grand Slam champion. The two seemed to have a fun chat with Agassi seemingly talking to him about racket swing technique.

As an eventful 2024 season nears its end, Andre Agassi took to Instagram to share a photo of him alongside Carlos Alcaraz. The two seem to share a nice conversation in front of the Australian Open winners' board, where the American's name makes a frequent appearance. He mentioned how he was still thinking of his time at the Melbourne Major.

"Thinking of you, @australianopen 🇦🇺," he captioned his post.

Despite Carlos Alcaraz's valiant efforts, he could not get his name on that winners' board, with the Australian Open becoming the only Major the Spaniard is yet to conquer. It was Jannik Sinner winning the first Major of his career in Melbourne after taking down Daniil Medvedev in a scintillating comeback from two sets down.

Alcaraz fell to Alexander Zverev in the quarterfinals in four sets. However, the Spaniard would later get his revenge against the German in the French Open final.
