Error under Personal life[edit]

In the "Personal Life" section, the last sentence states that "Steffi is sister of racing driver Michael Graf and prior to Agassi, had a high profile seven year long relationship with Michael Bartels." I'm pretty sure that Steffi Graf's brother is not a racecar driver, and definitely not the person whose bio entry is linked to "Michael Graf" in the sentence. I know her brother is named Michael, but believes he in the advertisement industry and lives in the States. Could someone confirm and make the change? Thanks.

Poor wording in sentence[edit]

This sentence needs to be reworded: "She was ranked the Women's Tennis Association's No. 1 player for a record 377 weeks – the longest of any player, male or female, since rankings began.."

It implies that male players can be ranked by the Women's Tennis Association.

Open Era records - Aust open ref for BJK[edit]

The inclusion of two Open Era records that have an ‘equaled’ by reference to Billie Jean King (eg career grand slam, winning without losing a set) should not be included here (specific to King’s inclusion) as the 1968 Aust Open era win by King (not later repeated) was in the amateur (eg pre-open) era. 222.152.25.25 (talk) 02:23, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Error under singles titles all time[edit]

Graf does not hold the #3 position for singles titles as claimed. The link provided takes one to the WTA records and that is from the early 1970’s - this should be amended to qualify the position (3rd highest) as being a WTA and/or an Open era one. Antipodenz (talk) 04:48, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Olympic Games 1984[edit]

Grad’s gold medal achievement in the women’s tennis singles at the 1984 Olympic Games (demonstration sport) deserves to be mentioned in this article. Antipodenz (talk) 04:52, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely agree. Fyunck(click) (talk) 06:51, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
