Andre Agassi was a major tennis star with huge endorsements, a beautiful celebrity wife in Brooke Shields, and the world at his feet.
But it turns out he was miserable, depressed and at one point hated the game he was so good at, and in that time he turned to drugs.
When he failed a drug test, he lied about it.
Now he has admitted to taking meth, and that, along with the lying, have become the sensational side of his autobiography Open.
Tim Wilson met up with Andre Agassi in Las Vegas, at a school he now runs for underprivileged kids.
