One of his ancestors changed his surname from Agassian to Agassi to avoid "persecution". Agassi was first exposed to tennis by American and British servicemen. He represented Iran as a boxer in the 1948 and 1952 Summer Olympics, losing in the first round both times. His trainer was former German boxer Hans Ziglarski. Wikipedia
