OPEN

By and starring Mattia Fabris

“When I first read Open by André Agassi, I never imagined that the autobiography of a tennis champion could affect me so deeply — especially as tennis was a sport I had never played and, to be honest, never fully understood. I was struck by it. Open contains all the elements of a compelling story, one that keeps the reader hooked from the very first page.”

Agassi is no ordinary tennis player. He was world number one — and yet he hates tennis.

Through this striking contradiction, Open tells not only the story of a tennis player, but also of a man who, while becoming one of the greatest athletes of all time, is constantly searching for an answer to a fundamental question: “Who am I? Who is André Agassi?” It is a question every human being faces more than once in their life.

Open thus becomes a universal story: epic, moving, suspenseful and deeply compelling. As Salinger writes in The Catcher in the Rye, the best books are those that, once finished, make you wish the author were a close friend — someone you could call at any time.

After reading Open, nothing could feel more true.
