"Most of it's bit of a fake job, and I don’t like fake people" - When Andre Agassi came under fire from Mark Woodforde for his excessive showmanship
Andre Agassi has always been known for his bold personality both on and off the court. However, his flamboyant style hasn’t always been well-received; former tennis pro Mark Woodforde once criticized the American for this very reason.
Agassi's bold style, intense focus, and dramatic reactions caught the eyes of audiences worldwide. From his flashy outfits to his powerful groundstrokes, he made every match feel like a spectacle.
The eight-time Grand Slam champion combined athleticism with personality. His presence on the court wasn't just about winning; it was about entertaining and connecting with the fans.
But Woodforde didn’t respond warmly to Andre Agassi’s charm. In 1989, when the American was a rising star, the Aussie called him "fake."
"Most of it’s a bit of a fake job and I don’t like fake people," Woodforde said (via the Los Angeles Times).
