WTA player turned PlayBoy says Agassi is "best partner a girl could have"

Former WTA tennis player Ashley Harkleroad, who was featured in Playboy as a model and on OnlyFans, recalled on her Instagram Stories the time she played mixed doubles with Andre Agassi in the Dominican Republic. "The best mixed doubles partner a girl could have.

Throwback to Andre and I, press conference in the Dominican," wrote Harkleroad on Instagram. Also, Harkleroad, whose highest ranking in the WTA was number 39, Agassi's book called Open is her favorite autobiography. Open has a high rating on Goodreads (4.28).

Here is a fragment of the book's description on Goodreads: "Agassi brings a near-photographic memory to every pivotal match and every relationship. Never before has the inner game of tennis and the outer game of fame been so precisely limned.

Alongside vivid portraits of rivals from several generations—Jimmy Connors, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer—Agassi gives unstinting accounts of his brief time with Barbra Streisand and his doomed marriage to Brooke Shields.

He reveals a shattering loss of confidence. And he recounts his spectacular resurrection, a comeback climaxing with his epic run at the 1999 French Open and his march to become the oldest man ever ranked number one.

In clear, taut prose, Agassi evokes his loyal brother, his wise coach, his gentle trainer, all the people who help him regain his balance and find love at last with Stefanie Graf.

Inspired by her quiet strength, he fights through crippling pain from a deteriorating spine to remain a dangerous opponent in the twenty-first and final year of his career. Entering his last tournament in 2006, he’s hailed for completing a stunning metamorphosis, from nonconformist to elder statesman, from dropout to education advocate.

And still he’s not done. At a U.S. Open for the ages, he makes a courageous last stand, then delivers one of the most stirring farewells ever heard in a sporting arena."
