The list here is in the order that each person was shown on the show and will be numbered that way.

#10 Andre Agassi- Who could forget the most emotional going out party in the history of tennis when Agassi took the tennis courts for the last time on September 3rd, 2006(You tube search Andre Agassi for speech). With 21 years of service he accomplished everything he could in tennis and reaching over $31 million in career prize money plus all of his endorsement money has had a very prosperous stay.

Always in the public eye coming into the tennis world Agassi showed how he was different. With everyone looking dull and boring wearing white shirts and shorts, Andre came onto the see with fun and enthusiasm sporting colors galore, and long hair to look much more like a rock star as opposed to a tennis star. Who can forget the "Image Is Everything" Canon "Rebel" camera commercials. With this brought many things including an eventual marriage to Brooke Shields. However, in 1999 their divorce was finalized and Agassi started dating another tennis great, Steffi Graf. They were married in October of 2001and now have two children Jaden and Jaz(think they'll play tennis?).

Over the years he has contributed to many charities, and founded the Andre Agassi Charitable Association in 1994, which assists with disadvantaged children. He has been named the most socially involved tennis player in history, and back in 2001 he established the Andre Agassi College Prep Academy in Las Vegas, which is a tuition free charter school for at risk children.
