A Head "Ti Radical" brand tennis racket tournament used and signed by Andre Agassi in 1999. The gray and red "Titanium Tennis" racket features a tape wrapped grip and sprayed Head logo on the strings. The interior neck of the racket features "A.A." in black printed letters. The racket exhibits moderate usage, with scuff marks obatined from hard court play. The racket features a 21 x 20 string pattern, unusual for Agassi's set-up. Online images show agassi using this string pattern at the 1999 Australian Open, with Agassi using his more traditional 19 x 18 string pattern at other 1999 tournaments. An elastic band was previously attched to the strings of the racquet, but disintegrated over time to the point of coming detached from the racket strings. In 1999, Agassi won the French Open, becoming only the fifth male player to win all four Grand Slam singles titles in his career. He would reach the Wimbledon finals that summer, and win the U.S. Open in September of 1999. The racket grip is signed by Agassi in black marker. 27 by 11 by 1 1/2 inches Categories:
