Andre was in the wrong league. He was @ the wrong place @ the wrong time . When he heard exhibition team tennis he thought – oh a hit and giggle ? So he got ready in the backyard or local courts with Stephanie aka the former Steffi Graf and the current Mrs. Agassi.

At First Agassi said no and was seen at home on Instagram carving a turkey with his family. Then the ” $ Thing ” urge kicked in and he said okay I’ll play . Really Andre. These fans are smart and Savvy to quality tennis. It’s ok I saw it happen to Borg once. It was in the late 70s . Rivera country club. Los Angeles California. Vitas Gerulaitis and Borg in an EXO and Bjorn was hitting balls into the bottom of the net.

Ok. Back to former world number one named Andre Agassi. He was cursing and breaking rackets and doing a poor imitation of himself at the same time. Cursing. Nice Andre. Really nice. An American tennis legend who runs programs and schools for children. Great example you just set on a global level and huge audience and social media coverage. Utube it. It’s a shocker and a shame.

The IPTL shows the fans that tennis players play their hearts out and then can shake hands and high five each other and HUG. They are all tired it’s been a long season. It’s fun camaraderie but when the ball is in play it’s all business. Sorry Andre. Big congrats to everyone else especially Mahesh Bhupathi & Coca Cola.
