She is not glamorous as Anna Kournikova or she does not have a perfume named after her like Gabriela Sabatini but she is famous due to powerful play and rebel nature both off and on the field and she is Jennifer Capriati.
Double handed powerful backhand,good serve and volley game and excellent ground strokes are the strong points of her game.Now she has 12 single titles and 1 double title to her name.She surprised all by defeating Steffi Graf in the Barcelona Olympics in 1992 and securing a gold medal for her and that was a turning point for her career as a teenager but she could not sustain her winning run and could not retain the success she got.
The period after this in the life of Capriati was like a black spot in her life.Firslty she came in to the headlines for wrong reasons as she got arrested for stealing from a shopping mall in Florida and the she was arrested for possessing Marijuana.Due to these incidents Capriati had to elope for some time.
In 2000 Capriati reached the quarter-finals of the Australian Open and then the comeback trail began.In the year 2001 she won the Australian Open and the French Open.To win these titles she beat powerful players like Martina Hingis,Lindsay Davenport and Monica Seles.
Capriati has put the past behind her and has come back very well
