The 1988 WCT Tournament of Champions, also known by its sponsored name Eagle Tournament of Champions, was a men's tennis tournament played on outdoor Har-Tru clay courts in Forest Hills, Queens, New York City in the United States. The event was part of the 1988 Grand Prix circuit and was organized by World Championship Tennis (WCT). It was the 11th edition of the tournament and was held from May 2 through May 8, 1988. Fifth-seeded Andre Agassi, who entered on a wildcard, won the singles title and earned $127,600 first-prize money.[3][4][5] Due to rain some matches were played indoor at the Port Washington Tennis Academy.[6]
