It sounds from what I hear that she’s looking to come back to tennis. You know, everything that she has shown over her career just makes you believe that if she has that in her sights then she will go after it and achieve it.”Graf, herself, won 22 Grand Slam singles titles in her career – a record for the Open Era until Williams broke the tie she held with Graf in Melbourne.
