Blessed with the looks of a movie star and a striking affinity for the game of tennis, Gabriela Sabatini was an exhilarating performer on the court. Primarily a topspin artist from the backcourt who owned a sweepingly beautiful backhand, Sabatini added dimensions to her game later in her career, learning to attack more frequently and demonstrating exceptional hands at the net. A member of the world’s top ten for a decade (1986-95), she realized her full potential at the 1990 US Open when she ousted Steffi Graf with a sterling final-round display of her talent.
