Open: An Autobiography, written by Andre Agassi with co-writer J. R. Moehringer and published by Alfred A. Knopf on November 9, 2009, is a candid memoir from one of tennis's most complex figures — an eight-time Grand Slam champion and former world No. 1 who, by his own account, spent nearly three decades trying to escape the sport that defined him. Drawing on verified critical reception from major outlets, this review covers the book's content, significance, and genuine strengths and limitations as reported by published sources, not from hands-on reading.
