Agassi’s Tennis Toupee. Andre Agassi admits that his long hair back in the 1990s was actually a wig. “I prayed. Not for victory, but that my hairpiece would not fall off. With each leap, I imagine it falling into the sand. I imagine millions of spectators move closer to their TV sets, their eyes widening and, in dozens of dialects and languages, ask how Andre Agassi’s hair has fallen from his head.”

There is an interesting article from Agassi’s autobiography in Sports Illustrated, called “I Hate Tennis”. It was very informative, thought-provoking and stirring. I experienced a lot of sadness for what he went through to be so great, and it made me wonder about the hidden stories some of the other tennis greats surely carry around in their hearts.
Dana – Thanks for the tip on the Agassi article. Andre was one of my tennis heroes growing up, and it is always interesting to learn the very real and human side of life behind the scenes.
