The two-year-old, with her blonde hair in pigtails, was all giggles as her doting dad tipped her upside-down and then put her safely back on her feet. And her mum Steffi Graf likewise had her hands full, as she helped big brother Jaden get to grips with a large plastic playhouse just a few yards away.
Andre, who has travelled the world over the course of his sporting career, has no doubt accrued plenty of wisdom to share with his children, but the 35-year-old says he learns just as much from them as they do from him. "They taught me to do more listening than talking," he explains. "You can't teach unless you are willing to learn... And there's no space greater than a child's life."
When asked about the early days of his romance with Steffi, the proud father is characteristically self-effacing. "The looks were something I responded to most when I didn't know her - I'm such a caveman!" he confessed. "But then you notice the pillars in her life that are a testament to who a person is. And then I basically stalked her, then got to know her and it has been a joy ever since." |
