I look at that now, and all I see is Joe Dirt.

Bald Agassi! Bald Agassi gets to win tournaments and sleep with Steffi. Bald Agassi rocks.

Was there no in-between period? Can we at least photoshop one?

When AA first decided to take Wimbledon seriously in '91, me and my college chums were all raving about what an amazing player he was and what a treat it finally was to see him on grass, blah, blah. Wise Tamsin said, "But he looks like a hospital radio DJ - he probably wear a leather jacket with the arms rolled up." It wasn't really the same after that.

You listen to a lot of hospital radio?

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 30 June 2003 05:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Duuude, you HAVE to seem him play on grass maaaaaan. Wow.

― oops (Oops), Monday, 30 June 2003 05:30 (twenty-two years ago)

BALD BALD BALD! Demonstrably superior. Brooke vs. Steffi, 22 vs. 32, better player now, no stupid sweatband. Though really both would be better and IS there actually a stamp in the offing?

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 30 June 2003 05:32 (twenty-two years ago)

BAM! This Agassi wins the match!

Chaki, you've just taken this thread up a notch!

i wanted Fat Elvis to be on the stamp. with that in mind, which Agassi do you think i'd want on the stamp?

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 30 June 2003 06:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Agassi is to me what Boris is to Mike.

two years pass...

those Agassi-Graf commercials are impossibly cute, but I'd never seen this before

stonewashed denim tennis shorts deserve to make an appearance. so '89 agassi.

You know what? F*** it. Yeah. Let's get high.

I never much liked him (*visually*) but reading that somehow makes me like him.

― Nathalie (stevienixed), Wednesday, 28 October 2009 08:31 (sixteen years ago)

The ATP are such saps.

― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 08:55 (sixteen years ago)

This was during his career nadir (playing Challengers in Burbank and Las Vegas to try and get back in the top 100) but I do wonder, if he hadn't lied (or if the ATP hadn't believed him), if he'd had been serving a ban during that period when he had his (2nd? 3rd?) renaissance in 1998-99.

I like him now, cause it gives the hairdo a good excuse

― Nathalie (stevienixed), Wednesday, 28 October 2009 14:15 (sixteen years ago)

He'd shaved all his hair off by '97!

― Michael Jones, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 14:22 (sixteen years ago)

the bigger story, i guess, is why the atp bought his lame excuse when similar - and indeed the same - excuses have landed other players with substantial bans, even where the authorities accept the banned substance was ingested "inadvertently". one rule for the superstars...

this'll be good for the book sales!

xpost oh shit, back to the hatred then. ;-)

Brooke Shields = vindicated.

due to difference in the times rather than difference in the players

Why do they call it gack? Because that's the sound you make when you're high ... Make you feel like Superman, dude.

― Nathalie (stevienixed), Wednesday, 6 January 2010 13:18 (sixteen years ago)

terry gross had him on about it a month ago; i know the book goes into it more but from what i gathered he basically hates tennis and always has? and as he started losing hair before he shaved bald he wore (mullet?) hairpieces during games he was terrified would fly off

five months pass...

Andre Agassi's Open: An Autobiography is a remarkable and quite unexpected volume, one that sails well past its homiletic genre into the realm of literature, a memoir whose success clearly owes not a little to a reader's surprise in discovering that a celebrity one may have presumed to know on the basis of a few television commercials hawking cameras via the slogan "image is everything" emerges as a man of parts—self-aware, black-humored, eloquent.
