Publisher Description
#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Far more than a superb memoir about the highest levels of professional tennis, Open is the engrossing story of a remarkable life. • "Agassi’s memoir is just as entrancing as his tennis game.” —Time
“Honest in a way that such books seldom are.” —The New York Times
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.
Customer Reviews
Moving. Revealing. Sincere.
Great book written by one of the greatest tennis players in history. Fascinating autobiography that reveals the true life and feelings of an admirable prodigy, tennis star, husband, father and foremost human being.
The gentleman from Las Vegas
From my first meeting with Andre Agassi with my young son Mark in a diner in Las Vegas I have been impressed by his kindness and enthusiasm. There was no question of his ability and his determination despite his struggles.
Exceptional!
Enjoyed reading every experience openly shared!
