Open
"Open" is the unflinching, raw autobiography of tennis legend Andre Agassi, pulling back the curtain on a life defined by contradiction. Forced into tennis by his tyrannical father—who built the fearsome "Dragon" drill machine to train him from age 5—Agassi grew up hating the sport that would make him a household name. The book traces his turbulent journey: from rebellious teen at Nick Bollettieri’s academy to his first Grand Slam win at Wimbledon in 1992, through crippling injuries, public humiliation, drug addiction, and a high-profile failed marriage to Brooke Shields. It also chronicles his remarkable comeback, his deep love and partnership with fellow legend Steffi Graf, and his transformation into a dedicated philanthropist, founding schools for at-risk kids. Agassi lays bare his vulnerabilities, showing how he turned a life of obligation into one of purpose.
