Andre Agassi Once Teased His Wife Steffi Graf Over Her Record French Open Titles

Andre Agassi has penned down his name in the history of tennis as one of the greatest players. The former American player has won eight grand slam titles during his glorious career. Moreover, he was the first player to win all four grand slam titles on three different surfaces.

This happened when he won his first and only French Open title in 1999. His wife, Stefi Graff, on the other hand, has won six French Open titles. Agassi, in an old tweet, he teased his wife about her incredible record while taking an indirect jab at himself.

Andre Agassi jokingly nudged Steffi Graf for having more clay court majors

In 2019, Roland Garros wished Agassi on his birthday with a picture of him winning his only clay-court major in 1999. The eight-time grand slam champion took the opportunity, not only to the acknowledge the message from the official account, but rather, to tease his wife, Steffi Graf, a 22-time grand slam champion.

He tweeted, “I’m not as insecure as my wife. I only needed 1 @RolandGarros, thank you”.
