The Republican leader revealed that he once served as a ball boy to Agassi, who was then the World Number 1. “I used to be a ball boy for Andre Agassi, we were hitting partners today,” he said.
Reflecting on the experience, Ramaswamy also shared some inspirational words from Agassi: “His sage advice: the longest distance between two points is that between your mind & your heart. Bend the former to meet the latter.”
