Paris, May 28, 2025 – The tennis world and social media erupted in euphoria on Tuesday when Jaz Agassi , the talented and charismatic daughter of tennis legends Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf , shared a post on Instagram that quickly went viral. The young woman, barely 19 years old, celebrated with great enthusiasm the electrifying victory of Frenchman Gael Monfils in the first round of Roland Garros 2025 , and fans were quick to react.
The post, which included a black-and-white photo of Monfils raising his arms in triumph under the Parisian rain, was accompanied by a moving and passionate message:
“This is heart, this is art, this is Gael Monfils! Never stop dreaming, never stop fighting. Paris loves you, and so do we.”
In less than 12 hours, the post garnered over 350,000 likes and generated more than 25,000 comments , including those from several sports and entertainment celebrities. What truly surprised everyone was Jaz’s mature and deeply inspirational tone, as she had so far remained relatively out of the media spotlight despite being the daughter of two historic icons of white sport.
Jaz, who studies Communications and Psychology at a university in California, has shown a growing interest in recent months in combining her athletic roots with her passion for emotional storytelling. Her post not only served to pay tribute to Monfils, but also demonstrated her ability to connect with global audiences at a key moment in the tournament.
Gael Monfils, for his part, responded to the post with a heart emoji and the message: “Thank you, Jaz. This means so much to me!” A simple but meaningful gesture that further fueled the media frenzy.
Monfils’ victory, at 38 years old, was one of the most talked-about of the day. The Frenchman defeated young Argentinian Thiago Tirante in five sets, overcoming a deficit and unleashing a frenzy on Court Philippe-Chatrier. His unique style, full of acrobatics, dedication, and passion, continues to capture hearts.
The social media moment shared by Jaz Agassi is proof of the powerful legacy that younger generations can pass on. With her illustrious name and authentic voice, Jaz seems destined to leave her mark, both on and off the court.
Stay tuned! Because if anything has become clear after this viral episode, it’s that the Agassi-Graf name continues to make history , this time in a new setting: digital platforms.
