Graf got three stitches from a doctor who had paid $70,000 for a trip to play tennis with the couple, officials said.
"She's OK," Agassi said. "It was an unfortunate accident."
The couple was in town for Agassi's part in a reality show called 'The Big Give,' an upcoming Oprah Winfrey production. An auction raised at least $225,000 Sunday for a Houston-area elementary school chosen for the show.
Agassi retired last year at the U.S. Open, having won eight Grand Slam titles. Graf retired in 1999 with 22 Grand Slam titles. The couple have two children and live in Las Vegas.

I have always been a great admirer of Stefi. Both do much charity work.

I loved watching her play tennis, what an athlete. It will be interesting to see if either one of
their children follow in their footsteps. Nothing wrong with Andre's abilities either , great player.
