Narator \u015fi protagonist \u00een acest lamento: Andre Agassi, unul dintre cei mai simpatici, mai stenici, mai plini de via\u0163\u0103 juc\u0103tori de tenis din toate timpurile. Cum e posibil? Andre recunoa\u015fte, \u00eenc\u0103 din r\u00e2ndurile liminare, c\u0103 a avut mereu dou\u0103 fe\u0163e: cea pe care i-o reflect\u0103 oglinda \u015fi cea pe care i-o arat\u0103 televizorul. Altfel spus, fa\u0163a real\u0103 \u015fi fa\u0163a de meci, \u00eentre care \u00eentreaga lui existen\u0163\u0103 a pendulat \u00eentr-un mod istovitor \u015fi autodistructiv.<\/p>\n
Agassi este, cu siguran\u0163\u0103, unul dintre cei mai carismatici juc\u0103tori care au activat \u00een circuitul profesionist de tenis ATP. Figur\u0103 controversat\u0103, ciclotimic mereu dispus s\u0103 uluiasc\u0103 prin atitudine nonconformist\u0103, a c\u00e2\u015ftigat opt turnee de Mare \u015elem, a reu\u015fit \u00een diferite perioade ale carierei sale s\u0103 fie num\u0103rul unu mondial \u015fi s\u0103 fie catalogat drept cel mai bun juc\u0103tor la returul de serviciu din istoria tenisului.<\/p>\n
N\u0103scut \u00een anul 1970 \u00eentr-o familie modest\u0103 din Las Vegas, Nevada, copil\u0103ria i-a fost marcat\u0103 de figura patern\u0103, un b\u0103rbat dominator \u015fi irascibil, al c\u0103rui unic scop \u00een via\u0163\u0103 era s\u0103-\u015fi transforme fiul \u00eentr-un campion la tenis. Din 2001 este c\u0103s\u0103torit cu multipla campioan\u0103 Steffi Graf, al\u0103turi de care are doi copii, Jaden \u015fi Jaz. Andre Agassi are dou\u0103 recorduri greu de egalat, fiind singurul juc\u0103tor din lume care se poate l\u0103uda cu un Golden \u015elem (c\u00e2\u015ftigarea tuturor celor patru turnee de Mare \u015elem plus o medalie olimpic\u0103 de aur la Atlanta \u00een 1996) \u015fi cel mai \u00een v\u00e2rst\u0103 juc\u0103tor din lume care s-a situat pe prima pozi\u0163ie \u00een clasamentul ATP (performan\u0163\u0103 ob\u0163inut\u0103 la v\u00e2rsta de 33 de ani).<\/p>\n
\u00cen spatele acestei pove\u015fti de succes st\u0103 \u00eens\u0103 istoria unui om adeseori nefericit \u015fi confuz, care niciodat\u0103 nu s-a sim\u0163it bine \u00een pielea lui. Cu o sinceritate dezarmant\u0103, Andre scrie despre succesul dob\u00e2ndit la o v\u00e2rst\u0103 fraged\u0103, despre ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 cu adev\u0103rat celebritatea \u015fi despre faptul c\u0103, “de\u015fi tr\u0103ie\u015fte din tenis, ur\u0103\u015fte tenisul cu o patim\u0103 \u00eentunecat\u0103 \u015fi secret\u0103”.
