Agassi inadvertently hits wife with racket, Graf requires stitches

April 15, 2007

HOUSTON (AP) -- Steffi Graf required three stitches Sunday after husband
Andre Agassi inadvertently hit her in the face with his racket during a
fundraiser that followed the final of the U.S. Clay Court Championships.

Graf and Agassi were holding hands -- her left to his right -- while rallying
with a couple of youngsters when Agassi's follow-through struck his wife in
the face.


Agassi held his racket in his left hand.

After she was hit, Graf lifted her left hand to her mouth and walked off to
the side of the court with Agassi following closely behind her to check on
her well-being.

She wiped her mouth with a towel before leaving the stadium for an on-site
doctor to administer three stitches to her lip, officials said. It was not
clear whether the cut was to the inside or outside of her mouth area.

She suffered no damage to her teeth, officials said.

"She's OK," Agassi said. "It was an unfortunate accident."

Agassi and Graf were in Houston because Agassi is part of a reality show
called 'The Big Give,' an upcoming Oprah Winfrey production. An auction
benefiting an elementary school in the Houston vicinity chosen for the show
raised at least $225,000 Sunday.

The doctor who paid $70,000 for a trip to play tennis with the couple
stitched up the multiple Grand Slam winner.

Agassi retired last year at the U.S. Open, having won eight Grand Slam
titles. Graf retired in 1999 with 22 Grand Slam titles. The couple has two
children and live in Las Vegas.
