TENNIS champion Andre Agassi’s admission that he used crystal meth during his decorated career has certainly done more harm than good to his formerly reputable career.

As much of a champion he is, Agassi who recently released his new autobiography ‘Open’, disclosing some hidden truths, makes you wonder what benefit it is coming out with these truths well and truly after his career.

The book chronicles Agassi’s life in tennis after turning pro at 16. He also revealed that he failed a drug test in 1997 after taking crystal meth.

Over his 20-year career as a pro, Agassi reached 15 Grand Slam finals, winning eight and completing the career Grand Slam, something only Rod Laver and Roger Federer have also done. Agassi also won the gold in the 1996 Olympics, making him the only player to achieve a career golden slam. He won over 800 matches, including 60 titles.

Some Australians have compared it to the Wayne Carey book, but this is a little bit different in the fact that it is such a long time since he was playing tennis.

It makes you wonder, is this all for the money? The new book is expected to be a top seller.

He also discloses that he “hated” the sport and told his wife Steffi Graf that he hated the sport on their first date.

It’s a real shame for those admirers of Agassi; all of a sudden those admirers may think otherwise.
