Description

Driven by his love of tennis, Mike Agassi decided to teach his children how to play the game. It was his son Andre's talent that shone through the brightest and Andre went on to become a dominant force in the world of men's tennis. But Mike's teaching also came with a high price and tensions between him and his children threatened to tear the family apart. A heartwarming look at one tennis family's turbulent story - and their ultimate reconciliation.
