After a magnificent career on the tennis courts, Steffi Graf shows that she is a woman of heart outside. The 52-year-old former champion has won everything in her career. With 22 Grand Slam titles, she is in third place just behind Serena Williams. A performance that makes her one of the greatest athletes of all time and also one of the most popular. His relationship, which began in 1999 after his victory at Roland-Garros with Andre Agassi (who had also just won the Grand Slam tournament on clay) will also add to his notoriety.
Together, they form one of the most powerful couples in world tennis and after a marriage in Las Vegas in 2001, they will have two children: a son, Jaden (born in October 2001) and a daughter Jaz (born in October 2003 ). If everything goes for the Graf-Agassi couple, who recently celebrated their 20th anniversary, Steffi is nonetheless a woman of heart. The former rival of Martina Hingis was in Germany this Thursday, February 17, for a very special reason. She surrendered in a shopping center in the city of Hamburg in order to receive a very nice check for his foundation.
A check for a good cause
In the photos, we see Steffi Graf, always so radiant and smiling, soberly dressed in a black blouse over a long navy blue skirt, accepted a huge cardboard check worth €100,000! A very nice sum that will be donated to his foundation, Children of Tomorrow. Very happy with this outpouring of generosity from the clothing brand C&A, the former sportswoman posed in front of the photographers who came for the occasion. Her husband Andre Agassi was not present for the occasion, but it is certain that he must be particularly proud of his wife and her humanitarian commitments.
Steffi Graf’s foundation helps children who are victims of violence and persecution around the world. With the great sum collected today, let’s hope that she and her teams will be able to benefit from more means to carry out their missions.
