“Andre Agassi Jokes About Why He Can’t Beat Steffi Graf: ‘She Always Cheats—She’s Too Beautiful!'”
Tennis legend Andre Agassi has won eight Grand Slam titles, defeated some of the toughest opponents in history, and solidified his place as one of the sport’s all-time greats. But there’s one opponent he just can’t seem to beat—his wife, the legendary Steffi Graf.
In a recent lighthearted moment, Agassi opened up about why he has never been able to win a tennis match against his wife, playfully accusing her of “cheating.” But the reason? It has nothing to do with questionable line calls or sneaky tactics—it’s all about her beauty.
“Have you seen her? She is so beautiful, I can’t take my eyes off her! And she takes advantage of that,” Agassi laughed. “I lose so much concentration when playing against her.”
A Love Story Built on Tennis and Mutual Admiration
Agassi and Graf, two of the greatest champions in tennis history, have been married since 2001 and share a deep love for the sport that made them icons. Despite their retirement, the couple still enjoys casual matches, though according to Agassi, they are hardly fair competitions.
“She knows exactly how to distract me,” Agassi joked. “The moment I start focusing, she just flashes that smile, and suddenly, I’m missing shots left and right.”
Graf, a 22-time Grand Slam champion, remains one of the most dominant forces in tennis history. Even in retirement, her game is still sharp, and if Agassi’s words are any indication, she has mastered the art of psychological warfare—using love as her greatest weapon.
The Ultimate Power Couple in Tennis
Beyond their playful rivalry on the court, Agassi and Graf are one of sports’ most beloved power couples. Together, they have built a strong partnership, raising their children while also focusing on charitable efforts through the Andre Agassi Foundation for Education.
Their story is a rare example of two legends not only thriving in their individual careers but also coming together to create an enduring legacy off the court. And while Agassi may have beaten Pete Sampras, Roger Federer, and Boris Becker, when it comes to playing Steffi, he happily accepts defeat.
“If losing to Steffi means I get to keep playing with her, I’ll take the loss every time,” Agassi said with a grin.
