Agassi Was Born to Be a Tennis Player (Whether he liked it or not)Īgassi’s father tried to make pro tennis players of his three older siblings, but he knew Andre was the one. In a later chapter, the first time Agassi’s dad and fellow hothead Steffi Graf’s father meet, they nearly get in a fistfight. In another road rage incident, he pulls a gun on someone whose driving displeases him, then he lets young Andre know it would be better if he didn’t tell his mom about this whole thing. During a spot of road rage, a trucker pulls over his rig to fight, and Agassi’s dad knocks him out. In the first chapter, Agassi describes how his father-a former Olympic boxer-got angry a lot. But while reading the book last week, I learned a whole lot more about him. When Andre Agassi’s autobiography Open came out in 2010, all of the hype I heard about it surrounded the fact that the tennis great had done meth and wore a hairpiece. Between matches, he'll be serving up some tennis history and random knowledge. Mental_floss co-founder Mangesh Hattikudur is at the US Open today.
