Agassi brings a near-photographic memory of his life and career in Open: An Autobiography. Summary of the Book Andre Agassi describes the minute details of every pivotal match and his public relationships in this autobiography. Together with compelling portraits of his rivals, Agassi gives diligent accounts of his short-lived time with Barbra Streisand and his doomed marriage to Brooke Shields. He even talks about the depression that had once shattered his confidence, and the mistake that had nearly costed him everything. Finally, he narrates the tale of a spectacular resurrection and his journey to become the oldest man ever ranked number one. In flawless, taut prose, Agassi remembers his faithful brother, his clever coach, his kind trainer, and all the people who helped him regain his balance. He also describes how he found love at last, with the German former World No. 1 tennis player, Stefanie Graf.
