In the eighties everyone raved over Gabriela Sabatini, but I always preferred Steffi, she had a confident intelligence, a gorgeous face (sexy nose) and a cute smile, and I like the way she speaks English with a German accent. Cool. Andre is a lucky man indeed.
Well most of the people doesn't really know Vijay Amritraj (Host).He is the father of tennis in India and probably most decorated singles player for India. In his prime he defeated likes of Björn Borg and John McEnroe and winning 16 single title and 13 doubles. Just fun fact he has appeared in James bond and star trek movies 😆😆
He is definitely not the father of Indian tennis. If anyone who would qualify for that title would be Ramanathan Krishnan, who in his times beat every Wimbledon champion.
@@chavindraster Ramanathan Krishnan was definitely a better player and ofcourse more successful than Vijay. But I called him father because he opened the sport to millions of youngsters. His ground work for improvement of tennis structure in India. Opening up school coaching helped many kids
You have to love the way Andre looks at Steffi. It’s like “Look at whom I’m married to. How did I get this lucky” He doesn’t show her off like a trophy but the at the same time he doesn’t diminish what he brings to the relationship. The man in any relationship should always put the woman on a slight pedestal.
AMAZING COUPLE !! LOVED ALL OVER THE WORLD !!! BRILLANT TENNIS PLAYERS !! GOATS !!! SO IN LOVE !! AND BEAUTIFUL TOGETHER ! BEST OF LUCK IN YOUR FUTURE WITH YOU LOVELY CHILDREN YE WILL NEVER EVER BE FORGOTTEN !! GREETINGS FROM IRELAND
What am amazing interview by vijay. He had the best questions and brought the best out of Agassi. Even oprah would be pleased to see this interview. One of the greatest interviews ever of two of the greatest sporting legends.
Simply Great Steffi and Andre awesome chemistry Vijay always good at it Great people carry great thought process and execution Thank you for sharing, it's inspirational God bless you all 👍
Interesting how Agassi talks about not having chosen tennis, yet taking ownership of it, and it finally becoming a rewarding experience after he finally did that....
I ❤️ you guys. Steffi and Andre. I named my oldest daughter Steffi. Watching your career from day one. Andre, you beast, I fashioned my game after yours, only couldn't pull off a competent two hand backhand myself. I watched all the glory, couldn't believe it when my two favorite legends married! You guys rule the tennis universe. I hope you know that you and your hot girl are the ultimate overlords of tennis. Sometime in Vegas I will challenge you to return my first serve Mr Agassi. All you will hear is a pop and then see a scorch mark and a wisp of flame from the corner of the service court. When I was in league, people got sick of picking balls stuck in chain the link fence before they could twitch a return. I know you will dodge me....smart move ✌🏻
@Illya Kuryakin ur stats may be correct but theres that context too. steffi was there before ms and kept beating gabriela , arantza, etc and we're all her fans still, yet ms was the next queen until she got stabbed. she was never the same again en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graf%E2%80%93Seles_rivalry
@Illya Kuryakin maybe - thats what age does! after chris evert, WTA needed the next icon and SG was it. ASV won just 1 wimbledon (i think) but was as good. as SG aged, the others caught up and beat her - but she did dish out a lesson to Hingis once. but when MonicaS came, SG wasnt past her prime, but MS was younger and fitter. Its all good, man, we dont want criminal-fans to spoil equations, thats all.
Steffi Super class World Champion.Tons of Admiration for her professionalism focus nd grace on and off the court. Fantastic nd an unforgettable Tennis star forever.
I love that they are living their dream of helping future generations while they are still alive to see their great works. I hate when people leave money to charities when they die and never shape the future that they envision themselves.
I always thought of Agassi as a "hick"-like person. When he and Steffi dated and were married, I thought "a classy woman with him?" I am glad it worked out between them.
Markus E yes when they married... I waited for announcement ... and here they are proved me wrong... thank god for that I respect them and adore them both so much 👌🏼🙏🏽
Marion Bartoli is a way better Tennis player than Steffi Graf. Marion bartoli had belief in herself that Steffi Graff as a great tennis player doesn't have even being world no.1 to win Wimbledon. Wimbledon is a grass court tournament and therefore amongst the medium surfaces. which means medium rallies dictated by serve and therefore less exertion of energy during a point and shorter matches in general. you get value for your shot! fat and short or tall and thin! when you play 3 sets against 5 sets for men, it is always an advantage. Marion Bartoli played a more strategic than a grind type of tennis in tournaments. good volleying skills as compared to Steffi Graff even in execution. Marion Bartoli had the belief that she could win and in contrast to Steffi Graff who believed that Bartoli would wear herself down and just lose(not that they don't have to play, just that they had to hang in there long enough for her to break down). Most of them slightly underestimated what she was doing in tournaments. She was an inexperienced player by that point who had proven herself as a former top 10 player. Her winning was really a surprise i.e out of the blue with already having made the finals twice but her consistency was questionable. She had unique two handed forehands and backhands. That was easy to replicate and master but once mastered it was going to be lethal. That was what spectators saw in tournaments of Marion Bartoli to a great extent. at Wimbledon 2013 she had some luck from the draw as 15th seed. she never played a top 10 player en route to her victory. the finalist she played: Venus Williams had already beaten Agnieszka Radwańska en route to the final. Venus Williams was playing her best but was probably worn out a lot by her battles with Agnieszka Radwańska and others. Venus Williams was in the form of her life but Bartoli had the luck of the draw. Regardless of whether your fat or not, if you make your shots even Steffi Graff may not be able to return it at Wimbledon. so if you are playing near perfection and having consistency with your shots then you are playing on a level field. then speaking of fat, technically Marion Bartoli may be classified as fat, yet she was the most successful female tennis player. Bartoli wasn’t really playing a specific style and really had weakness in tournaments and most of her shots had some vigor in it that Steffi Graf generally doesn't necessarily have. Here return games were spot on and had more errors and more importantly she can get Steffi Graff to errors first. all in all, this was a victory that was easily replicable or Bartoli after this mediocre run. She had belief and luck along with inexperience that allowed her to win her only Grand Slam. Marion Bartoli was dubbed as unfit and fat. She still made it to Grand Slam finals. Even in her Wembdon win 2013 she wasn’t fit. Marion Bartoli is an inspiration. It was really a fluke because Bartoli won by dropping sets and beat a few top 20 players along the way. Winning by dropping a set means you played really close to perfection along with dropping the level enough that allowed anyone to comeback and take a set from you. being fat may seem a hindrance, but is a limitation if you want it to be one. Honestly calling her fat in tournaments is really justifiable because she wasn’t thin but fat is really appropriate. And yes, tall and lanky players like Steffi Graf don’t always win , especially in the topsy turvy women’s tour. slightly fatter players can generate more power than extremely thin and tall players like Steffi Graff.
My best games were Agassi/Sampras , and Stefi/ Chris....such good memories....♥️♥️♥️🇺🇸 Edit: check out one of the recent moments, when the Russian player, Youzhny in 2012 ,(Federer), Wimbledon ask Andre, who was in the stands, ("please help me, tell me what to do").... it was priceless.....♥️♥️♥️🇺🇸
great athlete like pete and steffi will make you move less... u exert so much effort but in the end you will get tired of keeping to their level of game
what if we scripted agassi as bezos, but in a post wapost apocalyptic setting where tennis is the law, and the saudi crown prince is not complying with it. we can bring in shishi as narrator if we need a bit of tude.

Graf eventually won so many grand slams because that lunatic fan of hers who stabbed Monica during a tournament in 1993. And Graf continued in that tournament and did not withdraw. And that lunatic was allowed to walk free with just a tap on his wrist. WHAT A SHAME
these 2 are in balance.. steffi always winning.. andrei losing to pete... andrei talks a lot of sense bec he felt how to feel less bec hebwas facing a goat..
I’m sure they would never want to breathe the same air you breathe as well. Besides you probably won’t do well around them due to their wealth and class.
Agassi would have won 4 more majors if he bothered to go to the Australian Open earlier in his career. Steffi would have won five fewer majors if Seles hadn’t been stabbed.
I’ve seen stuff posted on the Internet about Steffi’s 110 mph serve. I watched her play live at U.S. Open and never once saw her get above 90. Still, that was remarkable at the time. Monica Seles’s stabbing today would be like Rafa getting stabbed as a teenager when Federer was in his mid-20’s.

You not alone. Back in the day, half the boys went gaga over glam girl Sabatini and the other half loved Steffi.
Hope you heard what she asked the other guy who had the same ambition "How much money you have" 😉

No, Agassi will not won that many majors even after he played Australian open earlier. Let analysis
1988- Mats wilander was too good
1989, 90- Lendl, Edberg would definitely beat Agassi in that year.
1991- Although Lendl was the favourite but Becker won & they were better than Agassi in those year.
1992-93- Those years are Jim Courier peak, he dominate Agassi in h2h
1994- definitely not because of Pete Sampras.
Wow. Jeff bezos has added some weight!
