Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf’s love story is no less than a romantic movie. If you have ever read the 8-time Grand Slam Champion’s autobiography, he has talked about his journey with his wife in detail. Starting from how he developed a crush on his future wife before even meeting her in person to actually having two children with her.
Not only that, there were also moments when he was obsessed with the WTA tennis legend in a totally different manner and brought out his flirtatious side in public. Now, decades later, as the 53-year-old tennis legend’s obsession is once again in the limelight, in no time tennis fans shared their mixed reaction to a cringeworthy punchline Agassi wrote for his wife.

He wrote, “So many cringeworthy punchlines in this book, but this one is by far the worst.”

Along with that, he shared a little insight into what that line was. He shared a picture of the book and underlined the punchline, which said, “Every forehand is foreplay.” This was the time when he described his first practice with the 22-time Grand Slam champion, from the time when he was still married to the American actress Brooke Shields.

When Andre Agassi believed Graf was well beyond his reach
Even after being married for two decades now, there was a time when he had a totally different assumption regarding having the 22-time Grand Slam champion in his life. In the same autobiography, the former ATP star made a huge revelation regarding how, even before meeting his wife, he thought that she was just a “nice fantasy” and he was not meant to be with the German tennis veteran.
Andre Agassi talked about his wife being a part of his imagination back when he won his first Wimbledon title in 1992, when he was in a relationship with Wendi Stewart, a friend of Graf. But later on, his obsession with his now-wife turned into a reality, and it won’t be wrong to say that they are enjoying their life happily together.
