Later this summer, a new tennis movie based on the relationship between Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf will be released. The film Perfect Match, starring German actress Lena Klenke and British actor Toby Sebastian, will debut on Amazon Prime on June 28. The latter is well recognized for his performance in HBO’s Game of Thrones as Trystane Martell.
Together, Graf and Agassi, both 54, have won 30 Grand Slam championships. Graf holds the record for the most weeks that a player has been ranked number one on the WTA Tour. Their children, Jaden, 22, and Jaz, 20, were born into their marriage in 2001. In his autobiography Open, Agassi recounted many details of their nine-year-long courtship, including how the 1992 Wimbledon Champions Ball organizers scrapped their plans for Agassi to dance with Graf. He added, “Her subtle grace and effortless beauty left me speechless and in awe.”
A documentary about Roger Federer’s final days will also debut in the same month; Netflix is already filming a second documentary on Carlos Alcaraz’s life and times.
