Steffi Graff

I was wondering why there isn't a stroke profile for Steffi? I would love to see her slice backhand, forehand, and her general footwork.

Thanks,

It's amazing how often I have gotten this question. It's a good one. But the answer isn't that we somehow have overlooked Steffi, or don't want he or the site, or don't think she was an important player.

The answer is that the technology we use didn't even exist when Steffi was playing and neither did Tennisplayer. And there is so far as I know no footage with high speed shutters that has ever been shot of her by anyone else--and if there is it is certainly not readily available.

So if she comes out of retirement or plays some serious exhibitions--I'm there. She did play team tennis mixed doubles, but that wouldn't really be enough.
