Suits

Graf, Agassi join sides in lawsuit.

Andre Agassi was never much for mixed doubles. The tennis star has been thrust into an ugly conflict between his old friend and business partner Perry Rogers and his wife, tennis star Steffi Graf. Rogers is suing Graf for a relatively small amount, $50,000, but the proceedings are throwing the couples finances open to the public. "'It's like a divorce in many ways," said Agassi, who announced in October that he would be ending his businesses partnership with Rogers. "I certainly love my wife more than life itself and will be there for her during this time." Graf became more invovled in Agassi's finances after her own father was sentenced to prison for tax evasion.
