Agassi opened up about his Second wife admiration for Graf

Andre Agassi reminisces about his wife Steffi Graf, whom he met at Wimbledon

Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf are one of tennis’ most famous couples. The pair met in Wimbledon in the ’90s, at the start of their careers, and married in 2001. Last week, Agassi attended the Wimbledon final between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic, prompting many to revisit a sweet video where he discusses the impact of meeting Graf and how much he admired her tennis skills.

The video was shared in June by the Australian Open account and shows Agassi discussing the moment he met Graf. “I remember saying to myself, ‘One day I’m gonna marry her,'” he said, leaving the panel moderator in shock. “Really?” asked the moderator. “I’m kidding, I was 18 years old,” said Agassi, prompting laughs. Then he got serious, discussing how much he admired Graf’s skills and attitude as a tennis player.

“She was always so graceful with the way she played. I envied everybody that had something that I didn’t have,” he said. “Her clarity and her professionalism and her methodical… you know, I was just an emotional wreck when I was a teenager.”

“I always marveled at how she could do it so quietly.”

Agassi has spoken about his respect for Graf many times
