Andre Agassi Praises Progress in Mental Health Discussion in Sports
In fact, it was one young champion in particular who came to Andre’s mind: Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz, who participated in Netflix’s exhibition match against fellow countryman Rafael Nadal on March 3.
“Look at Alcazar, he’s 20 years old,” Andre—who shares kids Jaden, 22, and Jaz, 20, with wife Steffi Graf—explained. “He’s two years younger than my son, he’s my daughter’s age. And it’s like, wow, he’s got a world on his shoulders. So you can only imagine what his early years are like.”
But for Andre, his more than two decades of playing professional tennis are long behind him. These days he enjoys spending time with the most important people in his life: his family.
And after tying the knot in 2001, he and fellow tennis champion Steffi revel in the everyday joys.
“We love cooking together,” Andre revealed. “We love hiking together. We love even grocery shopping together, dividing and conquering. So it’s real life. And we’re blessed.”
