Apple TV+ Announces Multi-Part Docuseries on Tennis Legend Andre Agassi
Apple TV+ has officially announced a multi-part documentary series chronicling the extraordinary life and career of tennis icon Andre Agassi, sixteen years after the publication of his groundbreaking memoir, Open: An Autobiography. Widely hailed as one of the greatest sports books in American literature, Open revealed the intensely personal struggles behind Agassi’s global fame—setting the stage for a compelling on-screen continuation of his story.
The upcoming docuseries will explore Andre Agassi’s rise from a child prodigy trained under relentless pressure to one of the most recognizable and influential figures in modern sports.
A Deeper Look at an American Sports Icon
Directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Chris Smith, known for acclaimed documentaries that blend intimacy with cultural insight, the series promises an unflinching portrait of Andre Agassi’s life both on and off the court. The project is produced by Chris Smith’s Library Films, with Stacy Smith and former tennis professional Justin Gimelstob serving as executive producers.
According to Apple TV+, the series will tell a “thrilling, complex and inspiring” story—examining Agassi’s dominance during tennis’s golden era, his battles with fame and identity, and his evolution into a philanthropist and global ambassador for education and youth development.
Building on the Legacy of Open
First published in 2009, Open became an instant classic for its brutal honesty, peeling back the polished image of professional tennis to reveal Andre Agassi’s personal turmoil, complicated relationship with the sport, and struggle to reconcile public expectations with private pain. The memoir’s literary impact extended far beyond sports, earning praise for its emotional depth and narrative courage.
The Apple TV+ docuseries is expected to expand on these themes by incorporating rare footage, personal reflections, and broader historical context from Andre Agassi’s career, offering both longtime fans and new audiences a definitive look at his legacy.
