Can you identify this kiddo with a tennis racquet in his hand??

Andre Agassi as a kid

Presenting here is a set of Andre Agassi's pictures as a teenager and youngster.. with long locks..  brash and bratty....making all the style statements required for a rebel... at the same time winning lots of fan following too....
 
 Andre Agassi was a teenage sensation and a brat-ish kind of a player to start with
 
His long locks and good looks won lots of fans and teenage girls going mad over him....  
 
He had his share of ups and downs in his career... married Hollywood star Brooke Sheilds for sometime and divorced later..  
 
Andre Agassi is one of the few players to win all Grand slams to make it Career Golden Slam and also has got an Olympic gold to his name...  
 
Agassi is considered a great baseline player and has one of the best returns of service... 
 
Agassi even admitted in his autobiography "Open" about his drug use when he was struggling to come to terms with all the pressures... 
 
The old and renewed Andre Agassi who went on to create more n more record... also conducted himself very well.. He came across as a humble person... putting behind all his brat-ish image and coming out of age...  A true tennis legend.. he lives in the heart of many a fans like me... 
 
Agassi married Steffi Graf, another legend women's tennis player... and they both have two lovely kids... son Jaden Gil and daughter Jaz Elle...  
a lovely family.... and a true legend...
