My interest in getting to know Steffi sprang from more than just the typical adolescent crush. It was an unspoken bond between souls bound together by a common destiny, a profound love,” Becker (Beck)While some said, “I saw it coming,” he recalled how Steffi Graf stood by his side when he lost to Peter Dohan in the second round of Wimbledon in 1987. He went on to say, “Preparing for her match against Laura Gildemeister, Steffi, good soul, had watched portions of the first and second set.”


By her estimation, I would succeed. She knew without a doubt that they were cheering for Boris when she heard the sound of applause emanating from our court, which was across from hers and Laura’s.
