The editor’s desk

When tennis legends Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf occupied the pinnacle of their sport, it’s difficult to imagine their multiple grand slam wins could be topped. A longtime couple – the American with on-court showmanship and the elegant yet powerful German – they were among the most famous people in the world for a time. They now fund programs that change the lives of disadvantaged children, and that has given them their life’s greatest sense of achievement. The pair are humble and warm in a manner that not all athletes of their renown are; some current players should take note. ●

COVER STORY

The golden couple of tennis hold court on fashion, their charitable endeavours and being hands-on parents.

DOING IT for THE KIDS 6

DOM A IN REV IEW

Wo r d s

I

t’s been 15 years since tennis champion and former world No. 1 Steffi Graf was last in Melbourne, and on her recent return – with husband Andre Agassi, who coached Grigor Dimitrov at the Australian Open – she reflected on the journey from the court on Rod Laver Arena to life beyond tennis.

The power pair have won 30 grand slam events between them – put simply, they ruled the world tennis circuit at the tail end of the ’80s, ’90s and beyond.

“I have so many great memories of Melbourne. I even remember playing at Kooyong,” says Graf, who won her first Australian Open in 1988 against American great Chris Evert.

Agassi has fond memories of winning, too – taking out four Australian Open titles, his first in 1995 against Pete Sampras and his last in 2003 against Rainer Schuttler.

“Melbourne always had a great vibe. I was here a year ago with Longines and it’s so good to be in a city that really gets behind sport,” Agassi says.

Graf and Agassi are celebrating 10 years as ambassadors with the iconic Swiss watchmaker, which has just opened its first Melbourne boutique and released 10 luxury Conquest VHP models in their honour.

Globally, the 10 sets raised more than $US300,000 ($418,000), with proceeds going to their respective charities, the Andre Agassi Foundation and Graf’s Children for Tomorrow.

Two were purchased by Australian buyers.

“I don’t know what ambassadorship looks like but, for us, if it doesn’t inspire us on a very personal

J U LIA N KI N G M A

level, then it doesn’t interest us,” Agassi says.

Agassi’s Foundation alone has opened more than 90 schools to help educate underprivileged kids in his home town of Las Vegas.

He says being a world champion matters little compared to giving a child an opportunity to study.

“Looking back, it’s been a daunting journey starting the foundation and certainly an unpredictable one,” says Agassi, who dropped out of school in eighth grade to focus on his tennis career under the heavy rule of his father.

“Building schools and seeing the lives it impacts is mind-blowing.

“Despite what anyone thinks I have achieved, the process has done more for me than people might imagine. I get my daily motivations and inspiration from the kids.

“They give me hope that no amount of winning on the tennis circuit could give.”

A

gassi says if he had his time again he wouldn’t play tennis at all but, since retiring from the sport in 2006, he has found a new passion as a coach.

In 2017, he was asked to coach this year’s Australian Open champ Novak Djokovic.

He’s now helping the Bulgarian-born Dimitrov, 27, who has holidayed with the Agassi-Graf clan in Atlanta and stayed at their home in Las Vegas.

“When you play the game it’s heavy stress and no pressure, whereas coaching is all pressure and no stress,” he says.

Graf, who is sitting beside him, adds: “Oh, it’s a little bit of stress.”

“Building schools and seeing the lives it impacts is mind-blowing ... the process has done more for me than people might imagine.”

The couple are at ease with one another during the interview at Crown Towers, sitting closely on a couch, surrounded by a spinning parade of PRtypes. Agassi occasionally places his hand on Graf’s knee when he begins answering on their behalf, but Graf is more than happy to enter the conversation.

Graf has never been one for the spotlight, even when she was at the top of her game.

The two-time Olympic champion and 22 grand slam event winner doesn’t boast about her victories but is grateful for the life it has given her.

Happily married for 17 years, the couple have two children – son Jaden Gil, 17, and daughter Jaz Elle, 15.

“It was a relief to walk away from the game,” Graf says. “But, of course, I am thankful for the experiences, memories and what the sport gave me and I’m sitting here because of it.

“Tennis is such an intense sport, physically and mentally. I was yearning for a more balanced life. I was ready for a new way of life when I retired.”

Agassi says the couple gave up their own childhoods to later be rewarded with the privilege of being hands-on parents.

“We are lucky to have been there every step of the way for our kids,” Agassi says.

Graf says: “It’s like everybody tells you, time flies and before you know it they’ve grown up. I cherish every moment. They’re great kids.”

As the topic swings from family to fashion, Graf is in her element. That’s when Agassi reclines with his hands above his head and says, “I think I’ll stay out of this one”.

“I love fashion,” Graf says.

Agassi interjects: “Oh yeah, she’s totally Gucci and has all the labels.”

Graf: “I am very in-tune. To me, a Stella McCartney dress is the ultimate perfection.”

Agassi, who dined with Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani in the ’90s, admits he knew the name but not much about the man at the time.

“Anyway, it’s all about Nike at home right now,” he says, looking at Graf, who shoots him a playful sideways expression.

“Nike’s Off-White collaboration is what our kids are all about. That guy is killing it,” she says.

The guy in question is creative director Virgil Abloh, who Agassi will certainly be hearing more of if their kids have their way. “They’re begging for that stuff,” says Graf of the cult sneaker.

Agassi looks at her, and is happy to concede defeat on that one. ●

hen it comes to mastering the art of soft tailoring, nobody knows the secret to getting it right like Melbourne fashion designer Margie Woods. The mother of two, who started the chic label Viktoria & Woods 15 years ago, says a belt for contouring and pushing your sleeve up is all you need to carry off the look.

“It just relaxes everything,” says Woods, who is known for her superfine knitwear, oversized trenches, angular shirting, wide-legged pant

suits and boxy blazers. “It will feel every day, but will look considered and put together. It’s as simple as that.”

To coincide with her fashion milestone, Viktoria & Woods unveils its autumn/winter 2019 collection during the Harper’s Bazaar Runway at the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival on March 6.

Woods says her humble beginnings have kept the brand in good stead.

“Yes, retail is more competitive now because customers are exposed to international brands and high street brands and there’s so much more going on, but at the same time it’s allowed us to be so much stronger,” she says.

Sustainability is a huge part of her ethical approach, too – but hardly for the sake of the buzzwords.

Celebrities who wear the brand include models Jessinta Franklin, Lindy Rama-Ellis and Rebecca Harding, each drawn to the earthed verses in sustainable luxury, where silhouettes are tweaked seasonally for an edgy advantage.

This season it’s all about ochre-red clay colours and tonal checks.

he premise of Louisa Luna’s taut thriller is one that would terrify any parent. Single mum Jamie Brandt leaves her two daughters in her car for five minutes while she dashes into a suburban Kmart to buy a birthday present. When she returns, 10-year-old Kylie and her eight-year old sister, Bailey, have gone. So begins an engrossing mystery bulging with memorable characters.

When the overstretched local police department struggles for leads, Jamie turns to unconventional bounty hunter Alice Vega, who has an impressive track record of finding abducted kids. Vega, in turn, links up with disgraced former local detective, Max Caplan (Cap), who sees the case as a chance to restore his reputation.

Together they make the most entertaining crimefighting duo since Batman and Robin, as they dive

into the dark underbelly of the small Pennsylvanian town in desperate search for the missing girls.

Initially wary of each other, Vega and Cap grow closer as they confront small-town criminals and local families with secrets to hide, all while trying to offer hope to the increasingly distraught Brandt.

Through her grief, Brandt is horrified at being seen as a bad mother, even though a gnawing guilt eats away at her. Luna keeps the reader guessing, through no shortage of false leads and sensational

Bouncing back

W

hether it was a few days of overindulging with family, eating every canape in sight at the office Christmas party or not letting any leftovers go untouched, sometimes the festive season can truly get the better of us.

If you’re feeling puffy and lethargic, your comfy jeans are digging into your sides and vegetables are a thing of the past, it’s time to dust off your runners and get ready to bounce back from that blowout.

The motto that I encourage all my 28ers to follow and the one that I live my life by is “progress, not perfection”. Too often we get caught up in trying to be 10/10 in all areas of life, but the reality is we aren’t perfect.

When it comes to living a healthy lifestyle, it’s important to remember that a missed workout or an

12

DOM A IN REV IEW

unhealthy meal is nothing but one missed workout or one unhealthy meal. It’s not the end of the world, just don’t make it a habit. So, if you need a few tips on how to get back on track, keep reading.

DITCH THE GUILT & MOVE ON \ You can’t change

the past so don’t waste energy thinking about it when that energy can be used to move forward.

Regretting what you ate isn’t going to burn any calories, so why bother? If I’ve had an indulgent day (OK, or week), I like to use the next day to motivate myself to set up for a great week ahead. I’ll get in a big workout in the morning, do some meal prep and plan out my week (workouts and meals) so, essentially, I’ll turn that negative into a positive.

GET INTO AN ALL-OR-NOTHING MENTALITY \ I

see this all the time. People eat one bad meal or have one bad day and then throw in the towel. Eating one cookie does not mean you should finish the packet.

If you dropped your phone and it cracked, you wouldn’t continue to throw it onto the floor until the screen was in a million pieces, would you?

MOVE YOUR BODY \ Exercising after a blowout can go one of two ways. You either feel full and tired and therefore every move is a struggle or you have heaps of extra energy and manage to power through.

Whichever way it goes, I never regret sweating it out and always feels so much better after. It might really hurt, you might feel sluggish, and like you’ve gone so far backwards (you probably haven’t) but it will get that ball rolling and kickstart that positive momentum to get you back into a great routine.

OVERCOMPENSATE \ I’m all for eating a little

cleaner the next day or week but please do not skip your meals or starve yourself to make up for unhealthy choices. Restrictive behaviours can often cause you to feel deprived, leading to another episode of overindulging and overeating, and this can then become a toxic cycle. Just stick to your healthy meal plan with three regular meals, drink lots of water and snack only if you’re actually hungry.

lethargic and probably pretty irritable. Aim for seven to eight hours of quality shut-eye to not only help you feel normal again but to make you less likely to reach for unhealthy foods as an energy boost.

MAKE H2O YOUR GREATEST MATE \ Water is

your best friend when you’ve gone overboard on salt, sugar and fatty foods. Aim to consume two to three litres a day.

SET A 28-DAY GOAL \ To maintain accountability and focus for a great four-week block that will guarantee you are well and truly back, set yourself a small, realistic and achievable 28-day goal.

Even if you think you have a healthy relationship with food and a balanced approach to eating, binge eating and blowouts can still happen – you’re human, after all. If you can mindfully indulge in the things you love, you’ll never feel deprived or feel the urge to go overboard on whatever it is you think you’re missing out on. ●

Created by a small team in Sydney, Pocketbook is a free app that tracks your expenses by category.

It will automatically categorise most of your expenses and then lets you set limits: great if you know you want to spend less money on lunches at work, for example. It will also take into account your income, savings goals and non-negotiable expenses (like rent and utilities) to create a “safely spend” figure, before tracking your spending against that. Headsup – it requires you to connect it to your bank account.

TRACKMYSPEND & TRACKMYGOALS

If you’re brand new to budgeting, these two easy-to-use apps are an excellent place to start. The brainchildren of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, TrackmySPEND and TrackmyGOALS do exactly what they say on the tin. The former tracks

With automatic round-ups enabled, Raiz will round up to $4 and invest the difference of 20 cents into your nominated share portfolio. Raiz charges fees on accounts, but you can withdraw your money at any time.

if not exactly a breeze, certainly breezier. The myDeductions feature is a particular standout, letting you take photos of receipts throughout the year to track your deductions, avoiding that late and stressful scramble in June to remember expenses from months ago.

the money that you spend against a weekly budget, lets you nominate spending limits and separates expenses into financial “needs” and “wants”. TrackmyGOALS helps you create realistic savings goals.

A covered porch opens into the entrance hallway, off which are the two bedrooms. Both are generously sized and feature high ceilings, timber floorboards, picture rails, individual airconditioners and fireplaces. The front room is the main bedroom and also includes a built-in wardrobe and bay window seat.

The hallway leads into the carpeted living room at the centre of the home with period features in keeping with the bedrooms along with another airconditioner.

Step through to the carpeted meals area adjoining the airconditioned timber kitchen with tiled floors. A kitchen window overlooking the backyard slides open to directly service the outdoor dining area. While perfectly functional, the kitchen offers plenty of potential for a modern makeover that could be achieved with just a few small changes.

Running parallel to the kitchen-dining area is the ’80s style bathroom with a spa bath and timber vanity, positioned next to a separate powder room and full-size laundry with external door.

The backyard is designed for entertaining, featuring brick pavers and covered areas. At the very rear is a single carport and shed.

Additional features of the home include ducted heating, an alarm system, water tank and attic storage.
