Agassi says that a person must know themselves inside out before entering into a relationship. The American tennis legend warned against looking up to one’s partner to complete them.

The first is to know yourself. You can’t come to a relationship needing the other to feel complete, or else you’re fighting multiple battles.

The 53-year-old says that he got this necklace long ago but he has never taken if off. Agassi also revealed that he helped his son make this necklace as the little one asked for it. 

I have a necklace my son made for me. It’s a beaded necklace with these letters. When he was four, he asked me to help him. [He said,] 'I want to make this, I want to write, ‘Daddy Rocks.’ We put these little beads of the letters and spelled out “Daddy Rocks.” I’ve never taken it off but it broke and it’s getting [fixed].
