Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf’s daughter, who is rarely seen in public, made a surprise appearance with her father at the US Open, where she praised him as a ‘superhero’.
Jaz, now 21, joined Agassi at the USTA Foundation gala and witnessed him receive the Serving Up Dreams Award, honoring his dedicated efforts beyond tennis.
Born in 2003, Jaz has kept a low-key presence, avoiding the spotlight and social media, unlike her older brother who plays professional baseball for Germany.
The USTA Foundation’s Instagram featured Jaz in several photos with her father. At the gala, a guest noted that she affectionately referred to him as her ‘superhero’.
Jaz, who has shared only two posts on her own account, uploaded photos engaging with other attendees and conversing with fashion icon Anna Wintour.

The pair also attended Novak Djokovic’s easy win over Learner Tien, with Agassi visibly thrilled that Jaz was there to share the experience.
‘Love you, Jaz,’ he wrote alongside a snap of them together.
Agassi, 55, won all four Grand Slams during his illustrious career – and a total of eight overall. He also won Olympic gold and the Davis Cup three times.
After his French Open success in 1999, he began dating ladies’ singles champion Graf, who won a remarkable 22 Grand Slam singles titles from 31 finals.
Between them, they share a total of no less than 30 Grand Slam titles.
They tied the knot in 2001 and shortly after their wedding, their son Jaden was born. Then, two years later, the power couple welcomed Jaz.
Delving into the interests of their two children, Graf said: ‘Jaz plays a little bit of tennis, Jaden not so much. We never really introduced tennis so much into their lives.
‘They’ve chosen other things that we were surprised with… they love arts and music.’
Jaz’s under-the-radar persona differs to that of her brother, Jaden, who is attempting to carve out a career in baseball.
Andre and Steffi have been huge supporters of the 23-year-old burgeoning career, and regularly attend his games.
However, he suffered a sluggish start to life in the World Baseball Classic Qualifiers earlier this year, with the pitcher allowing four earned runs, three hits and two walks in just 0.2 innings.
Agassi entered the game in the fourth inning but was yanked before the end of the frame after a sacrifice bunt moved a runner to second base.

In one moment, Agassi crossed paths with the kin of another sports legend, as he surrendered a single to Lucas Ramirez, the son of former Red Sox star Manny.
Andre and Steffi were seen watching their son during the broadcast of the game, with the former sitting inside behind his wife.
Jaden, a former USC player, was born in Nevada and does have some experience playing the sport that his parents dominated to the tune of 30 Grand Slam titles.
Nonetheless, he explained in a recent interview why he became more interested in baseball.
‘I started playing baseball when I was six years old in T-ball,’ Agassi told MLB.com.
‘I loved it. I’ve picked up a tennis racket a good amount, but it was always hard for me to keep that ball in between the lines. I just wanted to hit that thing as far as I could. Baseball had my love since day one.’
