It’s not all so serious either Agassi can make you laugh too. Not scandalous enough? Agassi reveals how he had feelings for Graf before and during his marriage with Shields. He also tells of how he stormed out of a shooting of Friends in which Shields licked Matt Le Blanc’s (Joey’s) hand. Agassi describes in detail his doubts concerning Shields from the beginning of their relationship.
These soap opera relationships with women like Brooke Shields and Steffi Graf are a tabloidist’s dream, and they make for a heck of a story. The high-profile women of Agassi’s life help the book stand out as well. Digging deeper in Open, you learn that Agassi played the first two rounds of the 1999 French Open-his first and only time winning the French-wearing no underwear. His use of crystal meth and news of his hairpiece mullet are just the beginning.
The book is a must-read for tennis fans simply for its incredibly juicy revelations about Agassi’s career. Similar to Behind the Music, Open often revolves around stories of drugs and women.
Once you get past Agassi’s unneccessary-but funny-attempts at literary greatness, the book becomes a behind the scenes, tell-all version of VH1’s Behind the Music. Even with an overuse of hyperbole, similes and methapors, Andre Agassi’s Open : An Autobiography succeeds because the man the book explores is fascinating.
