Former tennis professional Andre Agassi shared a video playing tennis with his wife and fellow tennis legend Steffi Graf on social media, and fans were all greatly surprised.

The pair matched with all-black outfits and white sneakers on the court as they played against each other and as doubles partners.

Andre captioned the post: "Some days remind you that the small moments are the ones that matter post."

Despite Steffi retiring from the sport in 1999, fans flocked to the comments to request that she return to playing professionally, after seeing her impressive performance in the clips. Andre retired from tennis in 2006.

Fans react to Andre and Steffi's post

One person wrote: "Steffi! She looks like she could still go out on tour. These women today wouldn't know what to do with her low slice."

A second fan added: "Steffi's form is the most beautiful. Such graceful tennis. No one comes close, [even] up to today…"

A third follower continued: "How cool, you get to just randomly play tennis with Steffi on any given day."

Another person commented: "Steffi's slice has not changed. She still looks like she could play on tour."

Other fans loved seeing the couple play together, with one person writing: "Seeing you and Steffi on the tennis court together brings me inexplicable joy."

A second follower added: "Two great champions and humans!" One person pitched: "You and Steffi look great and are both hitting the ball so well. I think you two should start playing the legends tour matches at the Grandslams. You would sell out stadiums."

Andre and Steffi's love of pickleball

When the dynamic duo aren't playing tennis together, they also enjoy playing pickleball at least three times per week.

Turns out that the couple that plays together, stays together, being that Steffi revealed to People: "We don't play against each other. We prefer to be on the same side of the square."

Believe it or not, the pair actually prefer pickleball to tennis these days, because they love challenging themselves and socializing.

Steffi shared: "We really liked learning a new sport and getting to know new friends through pickleball." Andre added: "We really want the game to grow."

The two have competed at the Pickleball Slam and won the contest for the second time in February.

How does tennis compare to pickleball for the tennis legends?

Andre shared with The New York Times: "Where does the hostility come from [towards pickleball]? I think there's a pride that tennis players rightfully take in tennis being the Mount Everest of racket sports. I'm not shy of telling the pickleball world that tennis demands the most of any racket sport. Emotionally, physically, mentally."

Steffi argued: "On the professional side, you can't compare the sports. The traditions, the tournaments, the history of the sport, the watching of a match… it's a totally different experience."
