Error under Personal life
editIn the "Personal Life" section, the last sentence states that "Steffi is sister of racing driver Michael Graf and prior to Agassi, had a high profile seven year long relationship with Michael Bartels." I'm pretty sure that Steffi Graf's brother is not a racecar driver, and definitely not the person whose bio entry is linked to "Michael Graf" in the sentence. I know her brother is named Michael, but believes he in the advertisement industry and lives in the States. Could someone confirm and make the change? Thanks.
Poor wording in sentence
editThis sentence needs to be reworded: "She was ranked the Women's Tennis Association's No. 1 player for a record 377 weeks – the longest of any player, male or female, since rankings began.."
It implies that male players can be ranked by the Women's Tennis Association.
Open Era records - Aust open ref for BJK
editThe inclusion of two Open Era records that have an ‘equaled’ by reference to Billie Jean King (eg career grand slam, winning without losing a set) should not be included here (specific to King’s inclusion) as the 1968 Aust Open era win by King (not later repeated) was in the amateur (eg pre-open) era. 222.152.25.25 (talk) 02:23, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
Error under singles titles all time
editGraf does not hold the #3 position for singles titles as claimed. The link provided takes one to the WTA records and that is from the early 1970’s - this should be amended to qualify the position (3rd highest) as being a WTA and/or an Open era one. Antipodenz (talk) 04:48, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
Olympic Games 1984
editGrad’s gold medal achievement in the women’s tennis singles at the 1984 Olympic Games (demonstration sport) deserves to be mentioned in this article. Antipodenz (talk) 04:52, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- Absolutely agree. Fyunck(click) (talk) 06:51, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
