Agassi and Graf were formally introduced after they both won Wimbledon in the same year. While Graff had a boyfriend, Agassi revealed in his memoir that he had a crush on her, and orchestrated a plan with their coaches to have them train together years later.
"Our coaches kind of set up the whole practice and, you know, I was like, 'Why does he want to practice with me?” said Graff in an interview, recalling their training session in 1999.
“He's married. I've got a boyfriend,” she said. “It was all a little confusing to me.”

In 2004, as Graff was introduced to the Hall of Fame, Agassi gave a touching speech in her honor, leaving her visibly moved and emotional.
"As I attempt to find words worthy to introduce the person that has changed my life, I realize the words have yet to be invented that are large enough, colorful enough, or true enough to express the heart and soul of this woman that I love," he said.
