All work and no play makes everyone dull. All of us have heard a variation of this, but many of us fail to practice it in today’s hectic lifestyle. However, the power couple of tennis, Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf, are certainly ones to pay heed to the saying. In fact, they have been mixing pleasure and play together and seem to be doing very well because of it.

Since early this year, there has been much buzz surrounding the Sphere at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas. The structure has captured the fascination of millions around the world, and it was recently host to a concert. The opening ceremony of the arena, which is vying to be a prominent landmark in Las Vegas, was attended by these two icons of tennis.

The Sphere at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas created much buzz earlier this year as the initial news got citizens of the world intrigued about the new structure. The opening ceremony was announced on 29th September, with a concert by none other than U2. People from around the world wanted to witness the opening of the grand structure. But not many could get their hands on the tickets.

Yet, tennis legends Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf managed to make it to the concert and enjoyed it to the fullest. Being residents of Las Vegas, with Agassi growing up in the city, there was little to no chance that the two would miss the event.

Agassi shared a video of their outing on his Instagram page. In the video, he captured enjoying the exuberant vibe of the Sphere. He panned the camera around with a final shot of his wife, who was seen enjoying tuning to U2.

Agassi and Graf were enjoying their night out in Vegas, but the two are also working hard to become athletes again. The tennis couple will return for a competition in the sport of Pickleball later this year in December. The two will be playing against none other than the duo of John McEnroe and Maria Sharapova. The game has been developing over time and is bound to receive another boost with the match between the four legends. 

For the uninitiated, Pickleball is a sport that mixes bits and pieces of  badminton, tennis and table tennis. It is played on a court the size of a doubles badminton court. The net is same as the tennis net but is put up two inches lower. Serving from one side of the court to another until one team fails to return the serve is the objective.
