Childhood growth experience
1968
Peter Graff married Heidi Schalke.
1969
Stephanie Maria Graf was born at 4:40 June on 14 in Necklau, Mannheim, the second largest city in Baden-Wü rttemberg, southern Germany! Peter (steffe's father) supports his family by selling cars and insurance. Peter started as a tennis coach at the age of 27, and later earned extra money by teaching tennis to support his family.
197 1
On September 4th, steffe's only brother, Michael Graff, was born. Michael is two years younger than steffe. He is now an F3 racer.
1973
When steffe was 3 years old and 9 months old, she was still a little girl with a wooden tennis racket. At first, Steffi and her father tied a chair with a rope in the living room as a net to play tennis, and later played tennis with a sofa as a net in the basement. Peter encouraged his talented little girl with candy and toys. Soon, their game became so big that they had to move to a real outdoor tennis court.
1974
Steffe took part in the first competition in her life. Because she is only five years old, she must get special permission to take part in the competition for children under seven in Munich. STEFFI lost her first game and left the game in tears. But in the following years, STEFFI won the championship in her age group, and sometimes even in groups older than her.
1975
Peter contacted BORIS BRESKVAR, the coach leader of Lehman National Tennis League. Baden Tennis Center in Leimen is a regional facility of the National Tennis Federation. Peter asked him to play with steffe. The 6-year-old girl left a deep impression on Bresvall. He allowed the little girl and her father to use the court at any time. Steffe has been training and studying in this court until 12 (or 13). Peter often drives steffe to the tennis court in the morning so that she can practice between 7 and 8, and then drives her to school. Steffe won her first competition in Munich.
As an early coach of steffe, Boris Bresvall likes to tell people that Baden Tennis Center helped train steffe and Becker to become great athletes! Bader Tennis Center deals with physical and mental training with the help of modern science and technology, combined with traditional technical and tactical training. Bresvall worked closely with Professor Kelman Reid. Professor Reid is the director of the Institute of Sports Science at the University of Heidelberg. Professor Kelman has worked with steffe and Becker for five years. Children will know their own strength and limits through a series of complicated tests. STEFFI, for example, was found to have insufficient muscle strength. She needs to strengthen her leg muscles. She is usually advised to do special training to enhance her strength. Of course, she was disappointed with the test results. According to the test records, she is easily injured. As a remedy, steffe was suggested to play basketball. Later, she played basketball very well and her muscle strength increased.
Steffe began to travel with her mother and take part in competitions. Fortunately, Peter's outstanding performance at work can pay for the travel expenses. Although Heidi's tennis skills don't allow her to point out her mistakes like Stiffi did when she first learned to play tennis, she always lets her daughter prepare before the game. Heidi always accompanied her daughter, accompanied her little daughter to travel and compete until 1984, when her husband took over the responsibility! Peter will spend more time helping his daughter and her skills.
1977:
STEFFI got her first sponsorship agreement from DUNLOP-SLAZENGER. Steffe will get tennis rackets, tennis balls and tennis clothes, provided that she must wear them to participate in the competition and often wear them during training.
Peter is teaching his little daughter the correct way to hit the ball.
1978: By this year, everything has shown steffe's talent in tennis, and steffe will have an unpredictable future. In view of this, Peter wanted to devote more energy to helping his daughter develop her talents, so the whole family moved to BROHL. Fortunately, they found a private residential area near a tennis training center with three tennis courts. At the same time, Peter gave up his old job and began to teach other children to play tennis.
1979:
As an amateur, steffe was arranged to take part in the competition at Hanover National Tennis Court. As a result, steffe began systematic training in the local tennis center (Lymen) and the National Tennis Center (Hanover). STEFFI's daily route starts like this, training at home for an hour before going to school. Then in the afternoon, she went to the Raymen Tennis Center and had a group of extra training in Bresvall. She often trains at home for about an hour in the morning, and then trains for an hour in the afternoon or evening. Steffe spends half his time in Hanover in winter. Because of an occasional but week-long intensive training course, all the training of steffe became the same as that of his father and Bresvall. If Peter can't go to Ramen, he will get advice from Bresvall by phone. On the other hand, he will often accompany steffe to tour on weekends.
198 1 year:
STEFFI won the national championship in the1under-4 competition, which was part of her great success. In 198 1, STEFFI won the most prestigious remaining competition in Florida 12, which is widely regarded as the champion competition of the world youth group. In the same year, Steffi joined the Heidelberg Tennis Club because of Bresvall's recommendation, where Steffi played for the Heidelberg Club against other clubs. She helped the club get very good grades until she left on 1983.
1982:
This year, STEFFI reached the peak of amateurs. If she wants to continue to advance, she must find some more challenging games to improve herself. June 65438+1October 65438+August this year, steffe was only 13 years and 4 months old, and she decided to become a professional player. Steffi became the youngest player to win the WTA ranking (the current record is S. REFFI. She is two months younger than steffe, and steffe ranks second). Steffe, a thin teenager, lost her first professional competition in Stuttgart, steffe. At that time, Tracy was troubled by injuries and was trying to find her own state. Of course, the German media are very interested in steffe. For a long time, she was thought to be able to make a difference on the tennis court. They asked Tracy what she thought of Graf. Miss Austin is now a commentator for a TV station. She said at the time that she didn't see any special talent in Stiffi (don't laugh, she did say so at the time). Naturally, steffe showed some unhappiness. Her respected star would say such things to her. But these criticisms only gave STEFFI greater determination and insisted on her choice to become a professional player. Steffe replied to Austin that she would never forget every word of Tracy.
STEFFI's professional competition means that she has to drop out of school and ask a tutor to travel with her and teach her knowledge until 15 years old. After that, STEFFI studied by writing letters for three years.
1983:
STEFFI entered the second round of the French Open and became one of the youngest contestants. Her best result this year is to enter the semi-finals of the Fribourg Open in Germany.
In June+February, 5438, STEFFI injured the tendon of his right thumb while training on a grass in Australia. At that time, she was preparing to take part in her first Australian Open. Steffe entered the competition with an injury, but the hand holding the racket became more and more painful, which made her lose the first set with 1-6. STEFFI had to quit the competition to treat her injury. Later, STEFFI received a note from MARTINA NAVRATILOVA, who tried to persuade STEFFI (a girl who was only 14 years old) to go back to school.
After four months of touring training, steffi is gradually full of confidence in future competitions. In fact, it took steffi a month, including being eliminated four times in the first round, to win the first victory in a key game at an important stop of the Tour. Steffe tried to reach the final of 1/4, but failed! But this summer, steffe played very well, scoring 16 at Wimbledon. Steffe stood on the famous center court for the first time. Although he lost the game, steffe didn't let anyone down. She scored very close (6-3, 3-6, 7-9) to the 10 seed, who came to Joe Dury in England. When steffe lost the game, she couldn't help crying. Steffe always remembers the game and crying in her later career, and of course she always remembers Duri, who reminded her to curtsy to the Royal Badge before retiring!
1984:
Steffe won the Olympic tennis championship in Los Angeles, but at that time, tennis was only a performance event, and her opponent in the final was Sabrina golles from Yugoslavia. Although steffi performed very well, and she thought she was doing very well, when steffi finally won the championship, she was really surprised that she could win all the championships!
