Andre Agassi is once again ready to share the court with his dearest wife, Steffi Graf. After playing in the Roland-Garros Tennis Tournament in 2009, they are ready to make a comeback together as a team. But this time they won’t be seen playing tennis; it’s all going to be about pickleball. Agassi is ready to team up with his wife for the next pickleball Slam, against John McEnroe and Maria Sharapova.

While the Slam is scheduled for next year, the 53-year-old American tennis legend opened up about what made his wife get into pickleball. But that’s not the major highlight. In addition, he also took a cheeky take on playing pickleball with his wife while making a humorous statement about their relationship.

Andre Agassi opens up about practicing with Steffi Graf 

Recently, when the 8-time Grand Slam champion appeared on the Pat McAfee Show, he talked about his experience playing pickleball till now. Along with that, he also talked about how his wife got into the sport while taking a sarcastic dig at practicing pickleball with his wife, Steffi Graf while sharing a piece of relationship advice.

He said, “I have been playing it with my wife too, which, by the way, can either add a great deal to your relationship or it can ruin it. So you gotta be careful with that one.” 

While the doting husband is quite careful of things both on and off the tennis court, he also listed the reason why both of them got into playing the pickleball slam. He stated, ““It did feel like a slam,” I gotta be honest, and that’s why I wanna do it again, and that’s why Steffi is doing it too, my wife. She was there, she’s like wow, she is been getting into it, it’s a lot of fun.”
