Steffi Graf's Brother Reportedly Hiding in Las Vegas Tunnels Amid Arrest Warrant

Michael Graf, the 55-year-old brother of 22-time Grand Slam tennis champion Steffi Graf, is reportedly living in the tunnel systems beneath Las Vegas as he evades law enforcement. An arrest warrant was issued for Graf in Nevada after he failed to appear in court for a trespassing charge. He has been posting videos on social media that appear to be filmed from within these tunnels, showing him with his belongings in a shopping cart amidst graffiti-covered walls.

Graf had previously been reported to be living in a tent near Lake Mead. The Las Vegas tunnels, originally constructed in the mid-1970s for flood control, have become a makeshift habitat for the city's homeless population.

His legal troubles resurfaced following a March 12 arrest for driving under the influence in Boulder City. This led to the bench warrant being issued on March 26 for failing to appear in court. The warrant is still active.

In his social media videos, Graf also recounted an alleged physical altercation with Steffi Graf's husband, former tennis star Andre Agassi. Graf claimed he hit Agassi and pinched his nipples, stating he was provoked by Agassi's perceived reaction and his own thought that Agassi was an "idiot."

Michael Graf and his four children relocated to Las Vegas to be closer to Steffi Graf and Agassi, who married in 2001. In 2014, Steffi Graf spoke about the family's move, noting the benefits of having the cousins grow up together.

This is not the first time Michael Graf has faced legal issues. In 2020, after alleged violent outbursts, Steffi Graf reportedly supported her brother by purchasing a house for him, seeking legal guardianship, and funding his legal defense. Earlier this year, following a second failed marriage, Michael Graf reportedly moved out of his home and was living out of his Tesla, which he crashed in September.
