Stefanie Maria Graf is a former World No. 1 ranked female tennis player from Germany. She is generally considered to be one of the greatest female tennis players of all time. Graf won 22 Grand Slam singles titles, more than any other player - male or female - has won since the start of the open era. (Margaret Court won the most (24) but only 11 of them were in the open era).
In 1988, Graf became the only player, male or female, to win the "Golden Slam" - capturing all four Grand Slam singles titles & an Olympic gold medal in the same year. She was ranked the Women's Tennis Association's No. 1 player for a record 377 weeks - the longest of any player, male or female, since rankings began - & is the only player to have won all four Grand Slam singles tournaments (Wimbledon, the U.S. Open, the French Open & the Australian Open) at least four times each. |
