Description
During his exhilarating and epic twenty-one year professional career, Agassi captured eight Grand Slam single championships and is the only man to win a career “Golden Slam” – all four Grand Slam singles titles plus the Olympic gold medal.Agassi reflects candidly on his life both on and off the court – from dropping out of high school and turning pro at 16, to pivotal matches with rivals Jimmy Connors, Pete Sampras, and Roger Federer, his personal relationships with Brooke Shields and wife Stefanie Graf, and his role as an education advocate and philanthropist.
As the founder of the Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation, Agassi has raised more than $85 million for the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy, an acclaimed K-12 charter school for underprivileged children in his hometown, Las Vegas.
