Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and the Williams sisters have dominated tennis in the last decade.
But not too long ago the world was obsessed with another crop of leading men and women that set unrivaled Grand Slam records and left a lasting impression with their style and determination.
Jennifer Capriati, Steffi Graf, Ivan Lendl, Monica Seles, Stefan Edberg, Martina Hingis, Martina Navratilova were some of the fresh-faced players that reigned in the 1970s, 1980s, and the 1990s.
See what these tennis legends look like now:
-
Steffi Graf, 43, of Germany, has 22 Grand Slam singles titles (1982-1999). She is the only player to achieve a Calendar Grand Slam, winning all majors on four different types of tennis court (1993-1994). Graf has an Olympic gold medal as well. She has a son and a daughter with husband Andre Agassi.
-
Lindsay Davenport, 36, has three different Grand Slam singles titles and three Grand Slam doubles titles, and she is an Olympic gold medalist (1993-2011.) She is not technically retired yet and still competes, but she has been taking several breaks over the last six years to give birth to her three children.
-
Monica Seles, 38, has won eight Grand Slam titles for her native country, Yugoslavia, and one more championship as a U.S. citizen (1989-2003). In 1990, Seles became the youngest ever French Open champion at age 16. After a series of wins over Steffi Graf, Seles was stabbed in the back during a game by a crazed Graf fan in 1993. Seles took a two-year break before returning to the court.
