Andre Agassi tells the Los Angeles Times that neither of he and his wife Steffi Graf’s two children, Jaz and Jaden, play much tennis.
“My daughter (9) plays a couple times a week, just having fun,” Agassi said. “My son (11) is 100% into baseball…My daughter does a great job playing, but it’s not her entire direction. She’s serious about other things. There’s more to learn than tennis. It’s a lot of fun being out there with her.”
In related news, former U.S. touring pro Jeff Tarango is playing the National Father-Son tournament this week in La Jolla, CA, with his 10-year-old son Jackson.
“Six days ago he said, ‘Oh, man, I’m not sure my serve is ready,’” Tarango told the <em>San Diego Union-Tribune</em>. “I said, ‘It’ll be fine. We’ll have fun, hot dogs and fries, and we’ll get me a beer.’ My wife said, ‘Make it like a ballgame.’”
