Exhibition Matches
As part of her farewell tour in 1999 and 2000, Graf played a series of global exhibition matches against past competitors. These included games against Amanda Coetzer in South Africa, Jelena Dokic in New Zealand, and Sánchez Vicario in Spain; the latter match was the first head-to-head between the two women since 1996. Graf later participated in a number of other exhibitions in cities including Tokyo, Berlin, and Washington, DC.
In 1999, a panel of experts at the Associated Press named Graf the 20th century's greatest female tennis player. Later, in 2012, Tennis Channel chose her as the greatest female tennis player of all time, a distinction echoed by a Tennis.com reader poll in 2018. Further honors include seven years as International Tennis Federation World Champion; eight years as Women's Tennis Association Player of the Year; and five years as German Sportsperson of the Year. In 2004, Graf was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame, and in 2008 entered into the German Sports Hall of Fame.

Jaden Agassi was Born on October 26, 2001, at Valley Hospital Medical Center, Las Vegas, Nevada, United States to Steph Graf and Andre Agassi. Jaden Agassi grew up in a family with a rich sporting background.
Though much of his early life was kept private due to his parents’ fame, much of his athletic prowess can be traced back to his parents. However, unlike Step and Andre, Jaden showed more interest and aptitude in baseball rather than tennis.
Although Jaden Agassi’s parents are famous, they have always protected their children’s privacy from the media. Therefore, there is not much information available about Jaden’s early life.
However, it is known that Jaden attended West Career & Technical Academy in Las Vegas and later pursued his academic career at the Las Vegas Baseball Academy. Jaden is now remembered as an alumnus of both institutions.
Jaden learned to hone his skills and grow as a baseball player in this new arena; eventually garnering attention for his pitching and batting prowess.
His talent on the baseball diamond led him to commit to the University of Southern California (USC) to play college baseball. Despite the legacy of his parents in the tennis world, Jaden has been carving out his own path in the sports world, focusing on his passion for baseball.
Jaden, el orgullo de Andre Agassi y Steffi Graf
Los especialistas subrayan que tiene un puesto en el béisbol profesional, aunque las previsiones son diferentes este año debido al coronavirus, que ha dejado el Draft en cinco rondas y no las 40 habituales. Además, el vástago de la famosa y laureada pareja de ex campeones de tenis acaba de operarse un codo.
Independientemente de lo que suceda en la elección, tiene puesto asegurado para debutar, a sus 18 años, en la Universidad del Sur de California (USC), tras destacar en un campus como uno de los nuevos talentos del estado de Nevada, ya que la residencia oficial familiar es Las Vegas.
“Amo el béisbol. Amo a los compañeros de equipo, sobreviviendo y peleando como hermanos. Cada partido es un nuevo conjunto de desafíos y realmente me encanta resolverlos”, señala Jaden en la web oficial de la MLB.
Satisfacción parental y también cierto alivio, ya que el estadounidense y la alemana nunca escondieron que no querían que Jaden ni la más pequeña Jaz Elle (16 años) se asomasen al tenis.
Steffi era profesional a los 14 años, empujada por un padre dominante, Peter, que acabó en la cárcel por sus trapicheos económicos. Andre se declaró con el tiempo víctima de la obsesión del ex boxeador iraní Mike Agassi, llegó a aborrecer el tenis. No querían una experiencia igual para sus niños. “No queríamos entrometernos, queríamos que hicieran su camino”, explicaba Andre. Jaden nunca cogió la raqueta, si jugaba más, de vez en cuando, Jaz. “Si me dijera que quería ser tenista, hubiera respirado hondo y la hubiera apoyado”, matiza.
