Quote from STEFFI GRAF * I NEVER LOOK BACK, I LOOK FORWARD *

You will fail sometimes and that’s ok. Your past does not equal your future. All that matters is what you do right now. STEFFI GRAF was one such young player who never looked back after her defeats and aspired to do better and better. In 1985 and early 1986 Steffi kept on losing to more famous lawn tennis players CHRIS EVERT and MARTINA NAVRATILOVA .During that period , STEFFI lost six times to CHRIS and 3 times to MARTINA but never lost hope. Steffi subsequently almost won everywhere and against almost every opponent. Steffi won 22 GRAND SLAM singles titles. This is the most major titles won by any male or female player during open era. She became the only player ( male or female ) to win a calendar year golden slam by winning all four grand slams single titles and Olympic gold in the same year.Steffi also held the number 1 ranking for a record period of 377 weeks. Her forehand was so bullet like and earned her nickname of MISS FOREHAND.
