Andre Agassi sparked a reaction from die-hard tennis fans when he shared an incredible throwback photo of his wife, Steffi Graf, in a heartwarming tribute on social media.

The two-time US Open champion, who married fellow tennis superstar Steffi in 2001, posted an aptly-time photo of Steffi holding up her gold medal from when she represented West Germany at the Seoul Olympic Games in 1988.

In the photo, Steffi's blonde hair tumbled down her shoulders as she held up the medal while wearing a sports jacket with the flag of West Germany on the front.

Andre, 54, captioned the photo of Steffi, 55, with a simple love-heart emoji, no doubt a symbol of his adoration and pride of his wife. Fans flooded the comments section praising Andre for always being Steffi's biggest fan, as well as sharing their memories of the Games which took place more than 30 years ago.

"Golden Slam Greatest!" one fan said. Another wrote: "Love that you're always praising her! The GOAT [Greatest of All Time]." 

A third added: "My first tennis idol. No one compared to Steffi," as a fourth commented: "I'll keep saying it since you keep doing it, bud! Please never stop crushing on her!"

Another wrote sweetly: "The absolute best, the Golden Slammer herself!! Absolutely remarkable that she withstood all the pressure and accomplished this as a teenager. The genuine GOAT."
