There's no such thing as an open draw. At least for me - I mean, obviously for Roger Federer, I think every draw feels open for him - but for me there's no such thing as an open draw

When you deal with somebody in the heat of battle, you see the best or the worst of them. So when you get through all that there is a great deal of respect.

In tennis you're on an island. Of all the games men and women play, tennis is the closest to solitary confinement.
Andre Agassi
Image
A great coach can lead you to a place where you don't need him any more.

Image
It's shocking how little there is to do with tennis when you're just thinking about nothing except winning every point.
Andre Agassi
Image
I had moments of my actions and words not reflecting who it is I am - if that defines a punk, then yes, absolutely.

No athletes talk to themselves like tennis players. Pitchers, golfers, goalkeepers, they mutter to themselves, but tennis players talk to themselves-and answer. Tennis players look like lunatics in a public square.

But, I would say when I was four years old and I was at the Alan King Tennis Tournament and I was hitting with all the pros that would come to town. They would get me on the court or take notice and that stayed with me.

Now that I've won a slam, I know something very few people on earth are permitted to know. A win doesn't feel as good as a loss feels bad, and the good feeling doesn't last long as the bad. Not even close.

You have to have the mentality of executing your game when you don't feel like there's a lot of hope. I think the best feeling is when somebody pushes you to the limit and you dig down a little bit extra. By the same token, you also need a little luck. Sometimes they come together.

Even if it’s not your ideal life, you can always choose it. No matter what your life is, choosing it changes everything.
Andre Agassi
Image
Freed from the thoughts of winning, I instantly play better. I stop thinking, start feeling. My shots become a half-second quicker, my decisions become the product of instinct rather than logic.
Andre Agassi
Image
My accomplishments do not live up to my tennis game. Most people have to work really hard and win some big matches, and then they get money and popularity. For me it has been the reverse of everybody else. The exact opposite.
Andre Agassi
Image
I had my moments for sure but I wasn't confrontational. And sometimes you get on the court and you'd find yourself very confrontational. It was all a discovery.

The most animated talks we have are about...things

This sport has given me so much that my hope would be to give back as much as I can for as long as I can.

Life will throw everything but the kitchen sink in your path, and then it will throw the kitchen sink. It's your job to avoid the obstacles. If you let them stop you or distract you, you're not doing your job, and failing to do your job will cause regrets that paralyze you more than a bad back.

I play tennis for a living even though I hate tennis, hate it with a dark and secret passion and always have.

Sex doesn't interfere with your tennis it's staying out all night trying to find it that affects your tennis.

It never seizes to amaze me how much I enjoy playing here and how much you fans have meant to me over the years.
