The former harder”, or of the furious sound his world no. 1 American tennis star player incredulous bowling machine used to who is the author of this month’s book make. In his book, Andre opens up review Open. If you’re anything like me, about his failures and losses both as a you may have assumed that any professional tennis player, and as a sportsperson who has ever held the title person growing in the limelight. of being the world no. 1 in his/her sports, must be a gifted individual. A former With a detailed account of his tennis world no. 1 tennis legend wrote about his career, Open also talks about Andre’s struggles throughout his professional personal life. His two big-shot and personal life as a tennis player in his marriages are talked about as honestly incredibly vulnerable autobiography, as his tennis career. His marriage with Open. Brooke Shield, Agassi’s first wife and big Hollywood actress, lasted only a Open takes you through the entire couple of years. Besides the fact that lifespan of a champion, who in his both the two lived all their life in own words used to “hate tennis”, the media limelight, there was little sport which earned him both the common to each of them. After his name and fame that would last long divorce with Brooke, and an obviously after he’s gone. Untrue to what you dark period which entails any may think, Andre didn’t start off with separation, Andre found himself an unabiding attraction to tennis. He pulled towards his all-time crush Steffi was born in a middle class family, Graf. If it was not for Serena Williams, with a frustrated man for a father. Steffi Graf would be known as the best woman tennis player of all time. Only a few people in the world could dwarf Andre’s achievements and Steffi was one of them. 48

Quills'n'Stills Andre’s autobiography is the most Each page of Open is illuminated by an interesting anti-sports book written by incredible piece of clean and precise a superstar athlete. In his book, he was writing. It makes sense to name J.

The result is a memoir which not Although sports enthusiasts would not only inspires, but also illuminates the see Agassi as the GOAT of the game, reader about the importance of hardships only a few can argue that nobody in one’s life.

The thing which I admired the most - Apoorv Kashyap about this autobiography was how honestly it was written. Agassi didn’t try to portray himself as some godlike phenomenon who always had things under control. Instead, he talks a lot more about his failures than his achievements. He showcased himself in the most vulnerable way. For instance, he talks about a time in his life when he had hit rock-bottom and he leaned on consuming methamphetamine, and later lied about it to tennis officials to avoid a suspension. 49
