Andre Agassi views Steffi Graf as his most arduous “victory”

**Andre Agassi Reflects on His Greatest ‘Win’: Steffi Graf**

Tennis legend Andre Agassi recently opened up about the profound influence his wife, Steffi Graf, has had on his life and career, calling her his hardest-fought ‘win’. In a candid interview, Agassi, an eight-time Grand Slam champion, shared that meeting and marrying Graf was a turning point that eclipsed even his most celebrated on-court victories.

Agassi and Graf, both tennis icons, first met in 1992 at Roland Garros but didn’t start dating until years later. Agassi, known for his fiery passion and turbulent career, often credits Graf with providing the stability and love that helped him find peace off the court. Their relationship blossomed following Agassi’s second US Open win in 1999, culminating in their marriage in 2001.

“Winning Grand Slams was tough, but winning Steffi’s heart was the real challenge,” Agassi admitted. “Her grace, strength, and unwavering support have been my anchor. She’s been my partner in every sense, and our journey together is my most cherished victory.”

Graf, a 22-time Grand Slam champion, retired in 1999, shortly before their relationship became public. Since then, the couple has largely stayed out of the limelight, focusing on their family and philanthropic efforts, including the Andre Agassi Foundation for Education.

Their enduring love story is celebrated by fans and fellow athletes alike, showcasing a unique partnership that transcends their professional achievements. As Agassi succinctly puts it, “Winning Steffi’s love and building our life together has been my greatest triumph. She’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
