Tennis star Andre Agassi kept a hair-raising secret under his hat throughout his stellar tennis career - his famous 'lion-mane' locks were in fact a wig.The retired athlete and eight-time Grand Slam champion has revealed he donned a toupee during his games after realizing he was losing his hair in his early 20s. The shock confession appears in the star's explosive new autobiography, Open, in which Agassi also admits he was hooked on addictive drug crystal methamphetamine at the height of his career.
Agassi is convinced he could have won more matches if he hadn't gone prematurely bald - because he was so worried his toupee would fall off on the court. And he still blames the anxiety over his fake locks for losing his first Grand Slam final at the French Open in 1990.
