Open an autobiography

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLERFar more than a superb memoir about the highest levels of professional tennis, Open is the engrossing story of a remarkable life.?Andre Agassi had his life mapped out for him before he left the crib. Groomed to be a tennis champion by his moody and demanding father, by the age of twenty-two Agassi had won the first of his eight grand slams and achieved wealth, celebrity, and the game?s highest honors. But as he reveals in this searching autobiography, off the court he was often unhappy and confused, unfulfilled by his great achievements in a sport he had come to resent. Agassi writes candidly about his early success and his uncomfortable relationship with fame, his marriage to Brooke Shields, his growing interest in philanthropy, and?described in haunting, point-by-point detail?the highs and lows of his celebrated career.From the Trade Paperback edition.

  • "Zum Wunderkind erkoren, zum Tennis getrieben, wurde aus Andre Agassi der rebellische Superstar auf dem Centre Court, eine Pop-Ikone der Achtziger. Kaum stand er ganz oben auf der Weltrangliste, stürzte er ab - und fiel tief. Sein spektakuläres Comeback und seine Liebe zu Stefanie Graf machten ihn zu der überragenden Persönlichkeit, die er heute ist. Er fördert die Schulbildung benachteiligter Kinder und kann ihnen das geben, was sein Triumph ihn selbst gekostet hat."
  • ""He is one of the most beloved athletes in history and one of the most gifted men ever to step onto a tennis court- but from early childhood, Andre Agassi hated the game. Coaxed to swing a racket while still in the crib, forced to hit hundreds of balls a day while still in grade school, Agassi resented the constant pressure even as he drove himself to become a prodigy, an inner conflict that would define him. Now, in his beautiful, haunting autobiography, Agassi tells the story of a life framed by such conflicts, a life balanced precariously between self-destruction and perfectionism." -- Book Jacket"
