Takeaways
Description
At the peak of his game and the height of his fame, Andre Agassi devoted his energies and his boundless charisma to outdoing everyone—especially himself. In this gripping book, he reveals all: his youth in Las Vegas spent living in a trailer park with his eccentric father; lessons on tennis strategy from Bobby Riggs; feuds with celebrity friends Pete Sampras, Princess Stephanie, and Brooke Shields; scandals surrounding drugs, gambling, and breast implants; and his passionate quest for personal fulfillment. The raw honesty of Open takes readers deep inside one of the world’s most charismatic icons, a man who has used his incredible athletic gifts to win fame as a tennis superstar while using controversy as fuel for personal reinvention.
