Agassi’s inspiring words and aura

On Sunday, Vivek posted on the microblogging site a clip from his tennis practice session with Agassi. Initially, the two can be seen playing side by side at an indoor tennis court in the clip. It then switches to another clip where Agassi and Vivek can be seen playing on either side of the net.

The founder of Roivant Sciences captioned the picture with the wise words of Agassi. He wrote, “I used to be a ball boy for @AndreAgassi, we were hitting partners today. His sage advice: the longest distance between two points is that between your mind & your heart. Bend the former to meet the latter.”

Agassi is a former American professional tennis player, widely regarded as one of the greatest in the sport’s history. Known for his charismatic personality and powerful groundstrokes, he won eight Grand Slam singles titles, including the Australian Open (4 times), Wimbledon (1 time), and the U.S. Open (2 times).

With 60 ATP singles titles to his name and a career that saw him hold the World No. 1 ranking for a total of 60 weeks, Agassi left his mark on the tennis world forever. Beyond his impressive achievements on the court, Agassi has made a significant impact off the court through his philanthropy work. His Andre Agassi Foundation for Education is dedicated to transforming education for underserved youth.
