In 1994, he set a record for the longest match at the French Open, lasting 71 games. In 1999, Agenor became the oldest player to finish the year ranked inside the ATP Top 100 since Jimmy Connors accomplished the feat in 1991. He is also a Champion for Peace with the "Peace & Sport" organization under the High Patronage of SAS Prince Albert II of Monaco. In addition to his ATP successes, he won five Challenger titles and reached a career-high ranking of No. 8 in the world in ITF Juniors in 1982.

Beyond tennis, Agenor is a passionate musician who began playing the guitar at age 15 and has released several albums. Through songs performed in multiple languages, he reflects on his global travels—experiences made possible by his tennis career. His latest album, "Cordes de Vie", includes the track “Paris en Mai,” a tribute to the French Open at Roland Garros.
Europa Champ "Ich Bin Ein Berliner"
"Ich bin ein Berliner" ("I am a Berliner") was a famous quote given by U.S. President John F. Kennedy in West Berlin on June 26, 1963, to show solidarity with the city's residents, who were isolated by the Berlin Wall. Ronald said the same thing after winning his last ATP World Tour event of his career in Berlin in 1990, against Alexander Volkov. This was a meaningful victory as not only it was Ronald's first title on indoor carpet courts but it also marked the start of professional tennis in the newly unified Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
