04.16.07 ANDRE AGASSI HIT STEFFI GRAF IN THE MOUTH

In a story that sets up endless possibilities for hilarious wifebeating jokes, Andre Agassi "inadvertently" hit his wife Steffi Graf in the face with a tennis racket during a fundraiser yesterday, forcing the former German star and mother of Agassi's child to get three stitches.

Graf and Agassi were holding hands - her left to his right - while rallying with a couple of youngsters when Agassi's follow-through struck his wife in the face. Agassi held his racket in his left hand…

She wiped her mouth with a towel before leaving the stadium for an on-site doctor to administer three stitches to her lip, officials said. It was not clear whether the cut was to the inside or outside of her mouth area.

Graf refused to speak about it afterwards, insisting that she merely "fell down the stairs."  When pressed for details, she admitted that Agassi only makes her participate in charity fundraisers because he loves her so much.

Thanks goes to faithful tipster Gen, who has a big rack and a dirty imagination.
