Agassi : "My father wanted us to live the American Dream"

Agassi accounted for his father's relentless will for success that would push him to hate tennis, in a recent interview to French Magazine Paris Match:

"His only dream in life was for his children to live a better life that his. That they live the American Dream. My father is a warrior, he never surrenders".

For twitterians, is Agassi's Open a page-turner ?

Of course, twitterians are divided about Agassi's autobiography Open, but most were caught by the story which is often reduced to a pile of shocking revelations.

A good method to assess its success is too spot the last messages on Twitter with the key word "Agassi". That's what we did with our twitter profile  : http://twitter.com/AgassiSupport   

VickiBohlsen simply couldn't "keep her head out of the book Open", while greendaylove38 quoted an extract from the autobiography : ""it must be bizarre to have strangers think they know me and love me beyond reason"

jonpg78 calls the fans to read the book "Anyone who's a fan of tennis, or sports in general, needs to read the Agassi book "Open""

sutherlandjamie "just finished Agassi's story and couldn't put it down".

rosiebohl simply "enjoyed the Andre Agassi autobiography"

Ok, that's an experiment but since we call for fair treatment on this blog, up to you now to pick up the bad vibes on Agassi's autobiography and to post them in the comments ;)

Agassi : "Tennis doesn't like cheaters"'

In a recent interview to French daily Metro, Agassi accepted the general outcry created by the release of his autobiography "Open", and even found justified the reactions from many top tennis players, including Roger Federer and Raphael Nadal."

"In a way, it's good that the world of professional tennis didn't support me. Tennis doesn't like cheaters. And here is somebody who gets away with it"

Adding : "But I was 141 in the world, and nobody predicted I could come back. That's why they (the ATP) concluded it was no performance-enhancing drug"
