In an emotional press conference held in Berlin today, the 22-time Grand Slam winner declared her decision to completely withdraw from public life, leaving fans heartbroken and the sports community in shock.
Graf, who retired from professional tennis in 1999, had remained an active figure in the tennis world, making appearances at major tournaments and supporting various philanthropic efforts.
