Agassi has been in imperious form in 2003, winning tournaments in San Jose and Miami and powering to his eighth Grand Slam title at the Australian Open. The 33-year-old underwent intense fitness work with trainer Gil Reyes during the close season and has returned looking stronger and hungrier than ever.
Arguably the finest returner of the ball the game has ever seen, the Las Vegan remains a major contender more than a decade after lifting the title.
Aside from last year, he has enjoyed a good recent record in SW19, including reaching the last four in 2000 and 2001.
But 12 months ago he was stunned when he was knocked out in the second round by Thailand's Paradorn Srichaphan.
