Steffi Graf: Margaret Court
built 605 days ago
While known for her businesslike approach to the game, at times Graf displayed a sense of humor. During a tight 1996 semifinal match at Wimbledon against Kimiko Date, Graf was getting ready to serve when a spectator yelled out "Steffi, will you marry me?" The spectators at Centre Court burst into laughter. Steffi caught the ball she was bouncing, turned toward the fan, and yelled "How much money do you have?" Graf lost the set but won the match 6-2, 2-6, 6-3.

Graf won six straight games at one point that essentially spelled doom for Hingis, who eventually left the court to go to the bathroom. While she was gone, Graf joined the crowd in doing the Mexican wave.

In October 2001, a lower court ruled in favour of Graf. Microsoft appealed, but on Tuesday the state appeals court in Cologne upheld the lower court’s ruling. Microsoft will be required to pay a fine if similar photos appear on its site in future.
