But because one fine moment became a real star on tennis courts.

Remember these and other mileage of career and the life of a great athlete.
Brooke Shields and Barra Streisand
1992 marked the first big victory Andre. It is curious that American began to collect the "career helmet" from Wimbledon - the tournament, to which he treated with the coolness and who did not come for three years in a row. Andre by that time was 22 years old - quite a conscious age, but shortly after this victory he led himself as a child.

The press attributes to him novels and with other Hollywood actresses, as well as with Gabriela SabatiniBut we will return to Shields. At first, their relationship did not benefit his tennis career, but soon Andre threw the weight and returned to full training. It is believed that it was Brooke, which often attended his matches, insisted that Agassi gives himself more sports. They got married in April 1997 - during a period of serious decline in the career. American dropped in the middle of the second hundreds - so low it did not fall from 16 years. Journalists were confident that failures were associated with marriage, but Andre considered otherwise. In any case, in two years, the lovers diverged. Agasi was too jealous to his wife to her partners in series and films, it was the cause of the gap.
Shteffi Graf.
After a few weeks after parting, he began to meet with Shteffi Graf.. Andre had views on the German back in 1992, when he tried to invite her to a date through the agent. Then it did not work, because the count met with a rider Michael Barters. Seven years later she broke up with him to create a family with Andre. In 2001, they got married, and five days after the wedding, the girl was born in Shteffi. Two years later, the second child of the tennis family appeared on the world - this time a boy. For more than 13 years, Agassi and Graph live a happy life and sometimes take part in exhibition matches.
"Career Helmet"
Andre has become the fifth player who won a "career helmet" in a male single discharge. Now these people are seven - in the new century all tournaments won Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. In the mid-90s, Andre looked not too rainbow. By 1995, he won in Australia, England and the United States, while in Melbourne distinguished himself from the first attempt. He never acted on a green continent, but in the 95th immediately won seven matches in the ridge. In Paris, he did everything at the beginning of a career - for five years two semi-final and two finals, but then the results only worsened. For three years, he could not even come out in the third round and then it seemed that the dream of a "career helmet" would remain unrealized.
However, in 1999, Andre again broke. Babbed unexpectedly. The first half of the season turned out to be disappointing: Early defeat in Melbourne, failures in other tournaments and weak preparations for Roland Garros. Agassi played only in Rome and lost in the third match. It is logical that in Paris he ran into certain difficulties. He did not easily have passed two circles by playing nine sets. Then Agasy was played out and reached the final, where he was considered a favorite, because he had a 100th racket in his opponents. Andrei Medvedev. But the "career helmet" is so simple not given. Medvedev perfectly held the beginning of the final and gave the one-year-old opponent with only three game in the first two sets. Agassi managed to gather and in the struggle took the following three parties who brought him such a desirable victory.
Second wind
Andre has already been 29 years old, and many believed that his career comes to an end, especially since the results as a whole worsened. However, the success at Roland Garros inspired the American for new accomplishments. Before one of the seasons, he even said that he was aiming at the "big helmet", that is, to win on all tournaments during the season. With this task, he did not cope, although he was in four finals In a row and won three titles. In the same season, he won in the United States, then she won in Australia three times in four years. At 35, he reached the decisive match in New York, but it was not possible to conquer the ninth "helmet". Nevertheless, Andre showed that after 30 years you can play at a high level and seek great success.
"I used methamphetamine and deceived ATP"
Agassi had a reputation of the rebel in the late 80s and early 90s, but in the new century he managed to change the attitude towards himself. The more surprisingly sounded in 2009 recognition that he. The autobiography of the American was called "Open", which is the most logical to translate as "revelations" or "all thicker". The book justified his name and became the bestseller of sports literature. The chapter that caused the greatest resonance is devoted to drugs. Agassi was caught on doping, but, oddly enough, the sweep-in-minded justification worked - Andre said that she accidentally drank water from a bottle of a member of his team, and there was a prohibited drug in it. After 12 years, he found the strength to admit that he intentionally took Methamphetamine. The American did not try to improve sports results, and hoped with the help of drugs to solve his family problems. Some experts confirm this version: Methamphetamine, if somehow affects sports indicators, then only in the opposite direction.
However sports world This news stirred, and many players collapsed with criticism on Agassi. Perhaps, everyone spoke Marat Safinwho said that Andre "like an honest person" should refuse all titles himself. ATP response was concise: Agasi is not a valid athlete, so there will be no additional check in the case of 12-year-old prescription. However, this story threw the shadow on the organization and its anti-doping service: if Agasi managed to deceive the system, then maybe it did someone else? However, not everyone turned away from the American. Some noted his courage, because no one forced him to admit it.
Hamburgers and crazy life
At the beginning of the career, Andre wore a magnificent her hair, he was a cumier of young people and had a reputation as a rebel. He concluded a contract with the most popular network of fast food and regularly ate hamburgers and others harmful productsat the same time sought certain results and showed that even without strict diet And everyday workouts can be conquered by titles. Agassi's image was very profitable to advertisers, and Andre constantly imprisoned large contracts, earning outside the court more than on it. That's just this image did not allow to play Wimbledon. How can the rebar and a person for whom there are no rules and prohibitions, diligently put on everything white and become like everyone else? For this reason, Agassi did not come to England for three years in a row, but fortunately came to his senses.
Personal meetings with the strongest players:
