Michael Graf, brother of tennis legend Steffi Graf, is reportedly living in tunnels beneath Las Vegas while evading arrest on a trespass charge.
Michael Graf, 55, the brother of 22-time Grand Slam winner Steffi Graf, is on the run from authorities and reportedly living in tunnels beneath Las Vegas. A warrant is out for his arrest in Nevada on a misdemeanor trespass charge. Graf's legal troubles began with a March arrest for drink-driving in Boulder City, and he was issued a bench warrant on 26 March after failing to appear in court.
Graf has been posting disturbing videos on Facebook from what appear to be the tunnels under the city, showing him sitting before graffitied walls with a dishevelled appearance and belongings in a shopping cart. He was previously said to be living in a tent at Lake Mead near Las Vegas. The tunnels were developed as flood protection in the mid-1970s and have become a habitat for homeless people beneath the Strip's hotels and casinos.
In his videos, Graf recounts an alleged physical altercation with Andre Agassi, Steffi's husband and fellow tennis legend, who also lives in Las Vegas. He suggests that Agassi 'enjoyed hitting me as hard as he could' and 'I just kept pushing all sorts of buttons'. There is no evidence to support his claims about the alleged incident. Steffi Graf, meanwhile, appears to be living what outlets describe as a picture-perfect life in the city, with Agassi recently posting a video of them playing tennis together.
