Years after retiring, the biggest names in tennis continue to attract sponsorship deals. Their brand value allows them to attract such offers as some of the highest earners in tennis are inactive players. For instance, Roger Federer and Serena Williams are sponsor’s favorites even after hanging up their rackets last year. Similarly, the American tennis legend, Andre Agassi, continues to steal the limelight by signing deals with big companies.

Recently, the eight-time grand slam champion flexed his brand value on social media. Well, in the US, he happens to be a household name while being the second most successful player in his family.
