El Enlace de Ensueño - La Boda de Andre Agassi y Steffi Graf

Career Earnings

During her career Steffi earned $21 million in tournament prizes. That's the same as around $40 million in today's dollars. She earned tens of millions more from endorsements.

In 1995 Steffi was accused of tax evasion by German tax authorities. Authorities actually went so far as to arrest Steffi's father, a former used car salesman who managed her finances, for failing to pay income on $25-35 million of her earnings. That constituted roughly every penny she had earned up to that point playing tennis professionally. The Grafs were also accused of writing off $700,000 worth of legal and other expenses that were allegedly used to cover up an extramarital affair conducted by Peter.

Steffi was questioned but placed the blame entirely on her father, who was eventually convicted and sentenced to 45 months in prison. He served 25 months. Steffi had to pay 1.3 million Deutsche Marks in penalties and fines.

At a particularly low point during the saga, July 1996, Steffi was playing in a Wimbledon match when a fan yelled out "Steffi, will you marry me?!" After attempting to gather herself and holding back a laugh for a bit, Steffi finally replied "how much money do you have?!" much to the audience's delight:

Exhibition Matches

As part of her farewell tour in 1999 and 2000, Graf played a series of global exhibition matches against past competitors. These included games against Amanda Coetzer in South Africa, Jelena Dokic in New Zealand, and Sánchez Vicario in Spain; the latter match was the first head-to-head between the two women since 1996. Graf later participated in a number of other exhibitions in cities including Tokyo, Berlin, and Washington, DC.

In 1999, a panel of experts at the Associated Press named Graf the 20th century's greatest female tennis player. Later, in 2012, Tennis Channel chose her as the greatest female tennis player of all time, a distinction echoed by a Tennis.com reader poll in 2018. Further honors include seven years as International Tennis Federation World Champion; eight years as Women's Tennis Association Player of the Year; and five years as German Sportsperson of the Year. In 2004, Graf was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame, and in 2008 entered into the German Sports Hall of Fame.

They got married in 2001

Andre Agassi & Steffi Graf

Days before Graf was due to give birth to their first child in October 2001, she and Agassi tied the knot in a low-key ceremony. The tennis star revealed in his memoir that he and Graf invited their mothers and a Nevada judge to their house, where they exchanged vows in their courtyard “barefoot and wearing jeans.” The couple used twists of old raffia that Graf found in a drawer for their wedding bands.

Parents and siblings

Jaden Gil Agassi is the only male child born to Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf, both tennis legends. They played a crucial role in imbibing the needed athleticism that required Jaden to prosper. Whether through support or rigorous training; the underlying fact doesn’t gravitate too far from Andre’s and Steph’s support for Jaden.

Growing up with such accomplished sports figures as parents has undoubtedly aligned Jaden’s perspective. While one might expect Jaden to follow in his parent’s footsteps in tennis, he has instead carved his own path in baseball. Despite dabbling in tennis, it seems the pressure and experiences linked to high-level tennis, perhaps witnessed through his parents’ journeys, may have influenced his pursuit of a different sport.

Agassi revealed that his decade’s journey around a tennis court had brought about back pain, while Steph on the other hand pointed out that:
