Agassi had a crush on Graf prior to meeting her

Agassi developed a crush on his future wife before meeting her in person. “I’ve had a crush on Steffi since I first saw her doing an interview on French TV,” he wrote in his memoir Open. “I was thunderstruck, dazzled by her understated grace, her effortless beauty.”

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:

Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf: All About the Tennis Stars' Marriage and Family

Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf are a love match.

While he was admittedly “taken by” the fellow tennis player in the early 1990s, the pair did not tie the knot until a decade later.

Agassi, who was previously married to actress Brooke Shields, once told Forbes India that the “highest point of his life” was when Graf accepted his marriage proposal.

“She was the hardest to win,” he declared.

Speaking to The Cut in 2014, Agassi noted that he respected Graf “from a distance and marveled at her" early on. The tennis power couple, who have both since retired from the sport, went on to wed in 2001 and are now parents of two.

“What has transcended everything has been the common ground we share and our basic approach toward life. It’s better to be lucky than good sometimes,” Agassi told Parade of him and Graf. “I don’t feel like I have any answer to how to have successful relationships, but I do feel overwhelmed with the joy that I feel every day.”

In January 2024, the couple rang in the new year together, posing for a photo that Agassi shared on Instagram. "With Love ❤️," he wrote in the caption.
