Notably, Agassi is a former world No.1 tennis player, who clinched eight major championships. He also has an Olympic Gold on his resume.
Only Paul knows why he labeled Kyrgios as ‘Agassi 2.o’, but the latter’s performance certainly deserves validation. He stepped onto the grass as 23rd seed player, but his aggressive approach and dominance stunned the World No.1. Undoubtedly, this is a new challenge. His purest form of striking the ball in a pressure situation won all hearts.
Now, he will face the likes of 27th seed Karen Khachanov to earn a spot in the semifinals.
What is Jake Paul doing now?
The social media personality is working on several challenges simultaneously. He has launched his new business venture to revolutionize the media and betting sports industry. Along with that, he also found a weekly show under the same banner ‘Betr’.
