Sports Biographies: Steffi Graf - Associated Content

Posted: 01 Apr 2010 05:25 PM PDT

Bright Beginings

Born in Germany in 1969, Steffi Graf would go on to become one of the greatest player the game has ever seen. After picking up the racket at age four and under the guidance of her father, she

would go on to swiftly become the European Champion of the 12's and 18s levels. Going pro in 1982, Graf initially lost in a match to Tracy Austin, however in 1983, at the tender age of 13, Graf soon became a world-ranked player quickly gaining international attention.

1987

Known as her "breakthrough year"¹, 1987 saw Steffi Graf enter the French open following six tournament victories. In a devastating match-up, Graf Beat Martina Navratilova, then the world's number one ranked female, in the final match 6-4, 4-6, 8-6. However, Graf would go on to lose to Navratilova in the Wimbledon Final later that year, but still ending the year with a match record of 74-2.

The Golden Slam

In 1988 Steffi Graf started the year with a bang, beating Chris Evert, 6-1, 7-6, in the Australian Open final. After two losses to Sabatini in smaller tournaments, Graf went on to defend her title at the French Open, easily beating Natasha Zvereva 6-0, 6-0. Soon after, at Wimbledon, Graf was trailing Navratilova in the final 7-5, 2-0 before winning the match 5-6, 6-2, 6-1². Her crowning moment came in the fall at the US Open, where Graf defeated Sabatini, becoming only the 3rd woman to do so in history.

Yet, it was her Gold Medal championship match win at the Olympic Games in Seoul, that not only brought worldwide fame and attention to Graf and Tennis, but also coined- the phrase the "Golden Slam".
