Andre Agassi pays tribute to his famous mullet as he returns to Melbourne for the Australian Open


Former world number one Andre Agassi has slipped into Melbourne for the Australian Open.

Known for his life on and off the court, the player was in a high-profile relationship with The Blue Lagoon actress Brooke Shields from 1997 to 1999, before marrying German tennis champion, Steffi Graff. Both of them have played coy about the true nature of their equation, with Andre describing their 'forbidden' connection as 'nothing more than a passionate friendship' while also dishing: 'Dating Barbra Streisand is like wearing hot lava.' While she was in London to watch him in Wimbledon 1993, she went to a restaurant with a group of friends including Donna Karan, and '[w]hen Andre joined us for dinner, his driver actually hid him in the trunk of the car (it was funny at the time).'
