Open: An Autobiography

He is the one of the most beloved athletes in history and one of the most gifted men ever to step onto a tennis court - but from early childhood. Andre Agassi hated the game. Coaxed to swing a racket while still in the crib, forced  to hit hundreds of balls a day while still in primary school.

Agassi resented the constant pressure even as he drove himself to become a prodigy , an inner conflict that would  define him. Now, in his beautiful, haunting autobiography, Agassi tells the story of a life framed by such conflicts, a life balanced precariously between self-destruction and perfectionism.
