#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER ā¢ Far more than a superb memoir about the highest levels of professional tennis, Open is the engrossing story of a remarkable life. ā¢ "Agassiās memoir is just as entrancing as his tennis game.ā āTime
āHonest in a way that such books seldom are.ā āThe 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 gameās 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, andādescribed in haunting, point-by-point detailāthe highs and lows of his celebrated career.
