Another American tennis legend might grace Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz‘s special Netflix event. This is the former world number one tennis star, Andre Agassi. Since Agassi lives in Las Vegas and the Netflix Slam 2 is being hosted at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino’s Michelob ULTRA Arena, many expect him to be present at the event.
IMDB recently shared the list of the full cast and crew for The Netflix Slam 2. In this list, fans spotted Andre Agassi’s name as a commentator alongside Andy Roddick, and Mary Joe Fernandez. In fact, Netflix also announced that Andre Agassi will offer off-court commentary and play analysis. Notably, Jim Courier and Patrick McEnroe will also be joining the ranks.
Netflix further highlighted Prakash Amritraj and Kay Adams’s presence along with Feliciano Lopez and David Ferrer’s exclusive comments for the Spanish audience.
