Robin Gibb was a great singer and composer for the Bee Gees but was under the illusion that he could play great tennis as well. While he could easily beat the locals at his club, he really wanted to prove to everyone that he could beat the professionals as well.
His brother, Barry, tried discourage him but to no avail. Robin put up the money and challenged Andre Agassi to a one-to-one match for a million dollars to the winner. This was, of course, readily accepted.
As the game progressed, the score went from 15-Love, 30-Love, 40-Love, Game, 15-Love, 30-Love, 40-Love, Game, 15-Love, 30-Love, 40-Love, Game and on and on. Barry just could not bear to watch Andre massacre his brother and left the court after the first set. When he estimated that the match would be about over, he felt that he had to call up Robin to console him and to find out if he had managed to score any points at all against Andre. He knew that Robin will be feeling down and he had to be tactful in his question. He dialed Robin and asked, “How Deep is your Love”.
