New York, Nov. 9 : After a glittering tennis career, Andre Agassi went home to Las Vegas to live with his wife Steffi Graf. They’ve been married now for nine years.

Recalling their courtship after both had won the French Open in 1999, Steffi says that on their first date, Agassi asked whether she wanted children.

"He was also asking me if I wanted to have children in the first date," Graf said, and Agassi said: "Well, close."

"When Stefanie came into my life, I realized that tennis gave me her, you know. The scorecard was gettin'' more balanced, you know. It gave me my school. It gave me… Stef, you know. And just that weight alone, you know, gave me a lotta wind under my sail," says Agassi.

Agassi told CBS that it gave him a reason to appreciate tennis. (ANI)
