"Open An Autobiography" by Andre Agassi


A very open story of his life, I found this a very interesting and easy read. The book opens with Agassi on the morning his last US Open match. He tells the story of his father and his influence in his life. He shares his hate of tennis which he feels no one believes. He tells of the hours in his back yard facing the dragon and his father driving him never letting up.

He shares his feelings of being sent to Florida and his behavior there. He eventually drops out of school and soon goes pro. This is a story of a person's search for himself and the trials he goes through. I found it very enlightening and in the end made me a fan.
