Open is far more than a magnificent memoir about the highest level of professional tennis, it is the compelling story of a remarkable life

Andre Agassi had his life mapped out before he left the cradle. Raised to be a tennis champion by his moody and demanding father, Agassi won the first of his eight Grand Slams at the age of 22 and went on to achieve wealth, fame and the game's highest honours. But as he reveals in this autobiography, off the court he was often unhappy and confused, unfulfilled by his great successes in a sport he no longer liked. Agassi writes candidly about his early success and uneasy relationship with fame, his marriage to Brooke Shields, his growing interest in philanthropy, and - in vivid, point-by-point detail - the ups and downs of his celebrated career
