Steffi Graf shared a brilliant response to a surprise marriage proposal from the audience during an exhibition match in Cluj, Romania. The German promptly pointed to her husband Andre Agassi as the duo teamed up on court, effectively discouraging the proposal.
Agassi and Graf have dusted their racquets off to join forces at a blockbuster exhibition event in Romania as part of the Cluj Sports Festival. The duo showcased their enduring tennis skills as they squared off against Simona Halep and Andrei Pavel at the BT Arena in Cluj-Napoca.
During the riveting doubles clash, a fan seized the opportunity to propose to Steffi Graf, causing the German to trip up over her service motion. The 55-year-old hilariously wagged her finger to decline the proposal and pointed to her husband Andre Agassi, who was standing just a few feet away on the court.
The 22-time Grand Slam champion is no stranger to receiving marriage proposals during her matches, famously encountering one during her semifinal clash at the 1996 Wimbledon Championships.
After a fan interrupted the German’s service routine with a marriage proposal, Graf left the audience in stitches by asking:
“How much money do you have?”
