    Najważniejsza autobiografia sportowca ostatnich lat. Poruszające wspomnienia jednego z najlepszych tenisistów w historii, opowieść o niezwykłym życiu niezwykłej osoby. Andre Agassi urodził się, by grać i wygrywać w tenisa. Ten wymyślony przez surowego i porywczego ojca plan realizował konsekwentnie już od czwartego roku życia.

    Jako dwudziestodwulatek wygrał pierwszy turniej wielkoszlemowy w Wimbledonie, zdobył sławę i bogactwo.

    Święcąc triumfy w dyscyplinie, której nienawidził, Agassi był często nieszczęśliwy i zagubiony. Wyznaje to w autobiografii, opisując swoje życie balansujące między autodestrukcją i perfekcjonizmem. Przyznaje się w niej do porażek, takich jak niszcząca depresja, groźny epizod z narkotykami, nieudane pierwsze małżeństwo z aktorką Brooke Shields. Z bolesną szczerością opowiada o peruce, którą zakładał, aby nie niszczyć swego kortowego wizerunku. Z czułością - o wielkiej romantycznej miłości, która zakończyła się ślubem ze znakomitą tenisistką Stefanie Graf.

    Finished "Open" last night. I realize I'm way late to the party, this book having come out in Nov. '09, but I'm not really a non-fiction book reader. I'm still very glad to have read this, Andre's story.
    Why should I, or we, care? Why should anyone at all, tennis fan or not, care about Andre Agassi's life, let alone buy his book? Because this isn't just the "story" of a tennis player or just a story at all. Andres life covers a lot of real estate, both literally and figuratively. From Las Vegas to the great cities of the world. From obscure beginnings to dining and dancing and romancing with the world's rich and famous. A struggle played out in the most public of ways, laid on the big stage of life for all to see. Behind the classic court-side battles were more personal ones, deeper struggles, ones we all face. And at the end of the day, like Andre', we all hope to chalk up more wins than losses and to have left it all on the court, to not have been able to fight harder than we did. Such is this story. Certainly a reluctant and uncomfortable hero, but a hero none -the-less. Not bad, all from hitting a fuzzy neon colored ball.
    Ok, now that we're past the obvi

    Open: An Autobiography

    #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Far more than a superb memoir about the highest levels of professional tennis, Open is the engrossing story of a remarkable life. • "Agassi’s memoir is just as entrancing as his tennis game.” —Time

    “Honest in a way that such books seldom are.” —The 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 game’s 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, and—described in haunting, point-by-point detail—the highs and lows of his celebrated career.
