So, did you hear about Andre Agassi being in town over the weekend and raising about $300,000 for Simms Elementary school in La Marque? It was part of an Oprah Winfrey-sponsored reality show, The Big Give, in which participants compete to find the most creative ways to taken given amounts of money and multiply them so they can be given away to help others — in Houston, Agassi was competing against Tony Hawk, who held an event centered on a skateboarding and BMX show downtown to benefit a school in Freeport. But was any of that what ended up making news across the country? No, not really — instead, it was this:

During Agassi's event at Westside Tennis & Fitness yesterday, Agassi accidentally smacked his wife, Steffi Graf, in the face with a tennis racket. Ouch!

Gripping the racket in his left hand while holding Graf's hand with his right, Agassi softly followed through on a shot and caught her flush in the lip. Three stitches were needed to close the wound.

"She's OK," Agassi said sheepishly. "It was an unfortunate accident."

Graf, who wasn't made available to the press, wiped away the blood with a towel and left the court immediately with Agassi, his hand on her back, escorting her.

Graf had three stitches. And oddly enough, they were done by Stefan Krenzer, a doctor who had bid $70,000 to win a tennis lesson with Agassi and Graf in Las Vegas (we assume he'll choose appropriate gear when that date comes around.

Krenzer's $70,000 tennis lesson wasn't the only high-dollar trip auctioned off during Agassi's event: Someone paid $45,000 for a trip to Las Vegas to meet singer Celine Dion, and another bidder paid $25,000 for a golf lesson with Butch Harmon, who used to be Tiger Woods' coach. Folks in the crowd donated an additional $23,000, Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young called in a $15,000 donation, and Gallery Furniture owner Jim McIngvale gave $50,000. Agassi said he chose Simms Elementary to benefit from the money because he saw how much the school needed help during a recent tour: "The kids there need help as much as any in society," Agassi said. "There's mold in the building, which creates health issues. You have to be healthy to learn," he said. "They also need computers — theirs have been around longer than I have — they need books, they don't have a playground, and it's been broken into 12 times."
