Graf was born in Bruhl in 1969; she turned pro at the age of 13 and gained the world’s attention by winning an Olympic demonstration event at the age of 15 in 1984. Just four years later, Graf won a “golden grand slam” – taking all four major titles in professional tennis, plus a gold medal at the Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea. Graf ranked No. 1 among women tennis payers for a record 186 weeks between 1987 and 1991. She retired from tennis in August 1999, and currently lives in the U.S. with her husband, tennis star Andre Agassi, and their young son, Jaden Gil.
