Andre Agassi, the one-time wild brat of men8217;s tennis, has come a long way 8212; both professionally and personally.

Married now 8212; and a proud father, too 8212; to tennis legend Steffi Graf, after splitting up with actress Brooke Shields, Agassi bagged his 51st career title at the Nasdaq Open in Miami dislodging victim No 700, Roger Federer, earlier in the week.

In the process, Agassi also equalled wife Steffi8217;s five titles at Key Biscayne. The Miami title was Agassi8217;s fifth in 16 visits where he first won as a debonair young prodigy sporting long hair and attired in anti-establishment fluorescent tights.

One of the five tennis greats to have won all four Grand Slams, Agassi doesn8217;t bludegon his opponents but grinds them with a methodical game. The Las Vegas showman, who will turn 32 next month, is looking anything but old and tired. And, of course, he is enjoying every moment of his game happily juggling with his family and career.
