Agassi reveals another secret -- more shocking than drug use!

scotus · 10-30-2009, 05:50 PM

In People magazine, excerpts from his autobiography reveals that as early as 1990 (and probably even earlier), he wore hairpieces to hide his baldness.

It talks about how his hairpiece came loose, which sent him and his brother searching all over for bobby pins the night before the French Open final.

At any rate, kudos to Brooke Shields for convincing him to shave his head.

The meth taking was ok, but this!!!!!

This is an outrage.

So this was a wig?

Friends don't let friends wear toupees.

This seems so hard to believe, as I posted in previous threads. By 1995, his hair had clearly begun to recede, but it wasn't THAT far gone at that point. He had been hiding it under hats for 2 years previous to that, and in 1991, began combing it forward a lot. Seemed very natural, and I have pics of him with wet hair from a pool in 1989, AND his highlights grew out at times during 1988-91.... Very strange! But oh well, I think I have now spent enough of my life analyzing his hair. lol.

I agree this is odd, if he had said he was hearing wigs from 92/93 it would make sense, but 90?

Did Agassi mention anything about ROGAINE?

Smartest comment I've seen on TWTT in days.

Hoodjem is the best poster in the "Former Pro Player" part of the TT forums!

And I agree completely with his GOAT list

Very honest of Agassi. If you write an autobiography you should tell everything and he does.

I really dont think he tells everything.....i mean, he's got/or had the Barry Bonds head as big as your Halloween pumpkin steroid head going on. tennis has been remarkably exempt from any sort of MAJOR steroid controversy....if he's going to spill his beans, he should divulge steroid use as well..now THAT would shake things up a bit.

Really dont care to get into some sort of steroid back and forth here and the ensuing insults. if people dont think Agassi used PED's, thats fine w. me....i think otherwise. If people think that PED's arent prevalent in pro tennis <when they are in other less physically demanding sports>, thats fine with me..i think otherwise.

At least he's honest about his hair loss. It's a delicate subject for a lot of men.

So, Andre is the "William Shatner" of the ATP. Shocking.

Now i know, why Bobby Riggs lost to BJK.

hoodjem · 10-31-2009, 10:03 AM

The greaser lost to the mullet.

urban · 10-31-2009, 10:08 AM

BJK lobbed Bobby a lot, maybe she knew, that he was afraid to lose his hairpiece. It was even worse than AAs.
