Episode Notes
This episode explores Steffi Graf’s historic 1988 “Golden Slam” at the Seoul Olympics—winning all four Grand Slams and Olympic gold in a single year. We examine the unique challenges of that Olympic tennis debut, Graf’s battles both on and off the court and in the Olympic Village, and her lasting impact on the sport. By season’s end, Graf stands not just as tennis’s queen, but as one of the greatest athletes of her era.
