Steffi Graf

Born
Steffi Graf won Wimbledon seven times with a combination that suited fast grass perfectly: a huge inside-out forehand and a low, skidding sliced backhand that opponents had to dig out from around their ankles. Her speed let her run round the backhand to hit forehands from almost anywhere. In 1988 her Wimbledon title was part of the Golden Slam, all four majors plus Olympic gold.
