Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf’s 22-year-old daughter, Jaz, is embracing her mother’s heritage in a meaningful way.
Just days after accompanying her father during the Laver Cup in San Francisco, where he captained Team World to a decisive 15-9 victory over Team Europe, Jaz took to social media to share a glimpse of her travels through Germany. She posted a video of Heidelberg Castle and its scenic surroundings, signaling that she is now touring her mother’s homeland.
How Is Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf’s Daughter Jaz Connecting With Her Mother’s German Roots?
The family connection came into full view recently when Jaz was spotted alongside her father during the 2025 Laver Cup in San Francisco. She was seen cheering courtside for Team World throughout the three-day event and celebrating when Agassi lifted the trophy as captain.
Soon after, Jaz shifted continents, heading to Germany to retrace part of her mother’s journey. Her Instagram story revealed footage of Heidelberg Castle, a historic landmark located about 12 miles from Mannheim, where Graf was born.
Born on June 14, 1969, in Mannheim, West Germany, Graf grew up in the state of Baden-Württemberg. Her father, Peter Graf, who worked as a car and insurance salesman but harbored dreams of being a tennis coach, introduced her to tennis at age three.
By the time she was four, she was practicing daily, and at just five years old, she entered her first competitive tournament. At nine, the family relocated to Brühl, a town not far from her birthplace, which remained the training ground for her rise in the sport.
What Defined Graf’s Rise in Tennis and Her Later Life Alongside Agassi?
Graf’s career would ultimately define women’s tennis for more than a decade. She turned professional in 1982 and quickly distinguished herself with her aggressive forehand and athleticism. Her breakthrough came in 1987 when she won her first Major at the French Open.
The following year, Graf completed a historic Golden Slam, becoming the only player in tennis history to win all four Grand Slam titles and the Olympic gold medal in the same calendar year. By the time she retired in 1999, she had amassed 22 Grand Slam singles titles, ranking third in the all-time women’s list behind only Margaret Court and Serena Williams. Her consistency kept her at World No. 1 for a record 377 weeks, a mark that still stands today in women’s tennis.
Her personal life also drew attention, particularly her relationship with fellow tennis great Andre Agassi. The two married in October 2001 in Las Vegas, Nevada. They went on to build a life together away from the constant spotlight, raising two children: Jaden, born in 2001, and Jaz, born in 2003.
