There were times in women's tennis, when the winner of the big tournaments was basically already clear when looking at the tableau: If the name "Steffi Graf" was in the grid, the German tennis fans could basically sit back and relax and the inevitable triumphal course of the event to celebrate. At the end of Graf's grandiose career, there were 22 Grand Slam tournaments, the first (1987) in Paris as well as the last (in the unforgettable finale against Martina Hingis in 1999). Seven victories alone in Wimbledon underline Steffi Graf's outstanding position in tennis history - as does the fact that the German legend has become increasingly rare after the end of her career. So we celebrate from a distance, with warm wishes and a few souvenir pictures ...
