Andre Agassi shocked the sports world with several astonishing confessions when he released his autobiography in 2009. The book titled ‘Open’ had all the secrets Agassi had held inside his heart until then. After setting a legacy where he earned not one or two but eight Grand Slam titles, the book became a sensational revelation of Agassi’s inner feelings about the sport.

That eventually led ‘Open’ to become one of the most celebrated sports books of all time. So much so that it has left the likes of Moneyball, Nike founder Phil Knight’s Shoe Dog, and Friday Night Lights, etc. behind.

Agassi’s autobiography was followed by a baseball book, Moneyball. Then Bill Walsh’s, ‘The Score Takes Care of Itself’, and so on. Another tennis book that featured on the Top 10 list was ‘The Inner Game of Tennis’ by W. Timothy Gallwey.

‘Open’ became a sensational book because it broke away from the cliche celebrity veneration. He talked about his high school days, his fake hair, his dislike for tennis, and his father. It took Agassi three years to pen down everything he needed people to know.
