To commemorate their journey, their story is being brought to life in a new film, “Perfect Match,” which will premiere on Amazon Prime on June 28. The film stars British actor Toby Sebastian and German actress Lena Klenke.

 

A journey of triumphs and challenges

Agassi and Graf, both Grand Slam champions, world No. 1 players, and Olympic medalists, were dominant figures in the tennis world during the 1990s. Despite their public successes, their personal lives were fraught with challenges, including intense parental pressure and past relationships.

 

Graf, born in Mannheim, Germany, in 1969, was known for her reserved nature and focus on her career from a young age.

 

She teamed up with Gabriela Sabatini as a teenager, but her closest friend was another Argentine, Ines Gorrochategui, through whom she first met Agassi. Before Agassi, Graf had a long-term relationship with German race car driver Michael Bartels.

 

Agassi, born in Las Vegas in 1970, was known for his flamboyant style and extroverted personality.

 

His first attempt to approach Graf was in 1991 after Roland Garros, but it wasn’t until Wimbledon 1992 that they were formally introduced.

 

Despite his efforts to impress her, including buying a tuxedo for the champions’ dance that never happened, their paths diverged for several years.

 

Agassi’s personal life was equally colorful, including an alleged affair with Barbra Streisand and a high-profile marriage to actress Brooke Shields.

 

However, his marriage ended in 1999, the same year he decided to pursue Graf again. He arranged a training session in Key Biscayne, Miami, through mutual coaches, and sent her a bouquet of roses with a note expressing his desire to reconnect.

 

In his autobiography, “Open,” Agassi confessed his long-standing admiration for Graf. After their initial dinner date, where he mistakenly ordered wine that Graf didn’t drink, their relationship quickly deepened.

 

The gesture of ordering wine became a symbolic tradition for the couple, despite Graf’s preference for non-alcoholic beverages.

 

Their wedding was a private, intimate affair held in the garden of their home, away from their parents and atte

nded only by their mothers.
