“I knew from the first moment, it was immediately magic between us & still is”: When Andre Agassi spoke about knowing Steffi Graf was his ‘great love’

In a heartfelt reflection on his relationship with Steffi Graf, Andre Agassi once described their connection as “immediate magic” that has endured over the years. While Agassi knew from the start that Graf was his “great love,” Graf admitted that it took her a little longer to come to the same realization.

Their relationship, which blossomed after Graf’s victory at the 1999 French Open, deepened through shared practice sessions and intimate conversations. Agassi has always admired Graf’s quiet grace and strength, often praising her ability to confront life’s challenges, a trait that has continually inspired him.
