Andre Agassi: Through the Eyes of a Fan is the story of a father's dream for his son, the commitment and discipline of a determined young athlete, and the rise and fall of a tennis legend. Boasting a career that spanned three decades, Andre Agassi lived his adult life in the spotlight. His fans rejoiced with him over his eight Grand Slam and Olympic gold medal, and suffered with him over his plunge in the rankings in 1997 and his failed marriage to actress Brooke Shields.
Now, Alexandre de Chambure tells the story of two parallel athletes: himslef, a gifted young tennis player from Paris, France, and Agassi, one of the sport's top performers. With insight and sensitivity, de Chambure traces Agassi's incredible career, including his astonishing 870 wins.
De Chambure reveals the secrets behind Agassi's tremendous will and determination and why he is truly a star - both on and off the court.
This book combines two amazing stories for the price of one. On top of Andre Agassi's story (with pictures, facts, figures and stats never published before), you will have the story of his greatest fan who explains how their paths have crossed over a nearly 20 year period. At the tender age of 10, de Chambure's life was changed forever and went on a collision course with his idol. A must read for any tennis fan.
