Weekly Musings - 10

Well, on Saturday, they host a huge GS event for the foundation and come Monday, they are well, just like everyone else and may be more like kids at the Halloween party and pull it off with aplomb just like everything else. And whom do we pick, Mr or Mrs.Agassi, as both look great in the costumes. Steffi looks ridiculously well for 'smurfette' and still has 'the best legs' in tennis. Wonder how much time it took for both of them to get that body paint off.



Another video from the Gala event. Love this comment from Andre: "Most artists say you are OK but your wife is spectacular. So we will be there".



More pictures and Video links of the event in this article below but for once, can't someone get Steffi's name right, mentioned as Graff in one of the sentences :
"Last year, tennis legend and Las Vegas resident Agassi ran throughout the large Lafite Ballroom in his tuxedo to garner donations, but this year he had help from Olympian Lindsey Vonn, his tennis legend wife Steffi Graff, actress Elisabeth Shue and her Oscar-winning director husband Davis Guggenheim".....really!!!!!!!!, high time for a Las Vegas news agency to have Mrs.Agassi's name right.

And how did Agassi and Steffi Graf celebrate their 10th anniversary on Oct. 22? At SW Steakhouse at Wynn Las Vegas, seated at a table overlooking the Lake of Dreams. "(We) stared at each other and stared at each other. I took a deep breath as to what all this has led to," Agassi said. He gave her a necklace and handbag that she had at the gala Saturday.
Love this couple.

The news is barely out that movie moghals are bidding for 'OPEN' and tennis media is already excited and why not, there are very few tennis theme related movies out there and Andre's book will be excellent for a movie if it is captured right. But not sure if I can accept some one in the role of Andre and Steffi, would be interesting to see what the casting will be though if it is ever made into a movie and this was the discussion at SI as well this week.

If this news is right, Steffi's particpation in Halle in 2012 depends on her health and is not a guarantee, hope she can keep up with playing in the event.

Steffi and a double handed backhand!!!, as this sculpture portrays.

Well, if you look closely at the Wimbledon roof ceremony, she does a double handed backhand when playing against Kim Clijsters, the ball was called out and Steffi hits a double handed backhand which was sadly missed by the commentators and you would miss it too unless you watch closely. Around 4:3, 15-15 and approx 5 min 30 sec mark, she hits a double handed backhand. The might have been very few occassions where she might have done it when she was a pro as well although tough to recall all of them.



New Nintendo adds featuring Steffi/Stefanie Graf. Love the one where she gives a piggybag ride to one of the kids, seems very natural in the add when she is with the kids and why not, she has two kids (can I say three kids as I believe Andre is a kid at heart as well) at home.







And finally, whom do you pick: Miley Cyrus or Steffi Graf. You may call be biased but somehow the dress looks more fetching on the 42 yr old than the 18 yr old.
