LONDON - The pursuit of perfection in tennis has proved beyond all but one player in the modern era, Germany’s Steffi Graf.
American Serena Williams now owns a modern-era record 23 Grand Slam singles titles and Roger Federer is, for many, the greatest player, man or woman, to wield a tennis racket.Women’s tennis for much of the 1980s was dominated by the iconic rivalry between Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert. Graf began 1988 by winning the Australian Open without the loss of a set, beating Evert in the final. In the French Open final she thrashed unfortunate Russian teenager Natasha Zvereva 6-0 6-0 in 32 minutes — the shortest Grand Slam final.
At the U.S. Open, Graf scythed through to the final where she beat elegant Argentine Gabriela Sabatini to become only the fifth player to complete the fabled ‘calendar year’ Grand Slam and the only player to do it on hard, clay and grass. Graf needed a natural rivalry and in the emergence of Yugoslav teenager Monica Seles she found one, and some.
