Steffi Graf à Roland-Garros 16 ans après sa victoire

Everyone is talking about it about Roland-Garros and its legends who return here every season bringing great joy to the spectators As the Longines brand ambassador champion Steffi Graf visited the tournament this year and we had the chance to meet her When the tournament ended for him it was like Christmas Every day he no longer walked behind his goals He said it was a very good feeling for him Did you feel the same when you retired in 1999 You know a similar feeling Tennis is such a physically and mentally intense sport You don't have many breaks it's 12 months a year You have tournaments after tournaments lots of highlights It's really hard to take breaks When you have a long career it's hard in the end To remain emotionally engaged in the way you want When you no longer have the pressures your own pressures the pressures coming from the outside it's a relief You find a balance that you had not had before That is a good feeling We are at Roland-Garros today Maybe it reminds you of a lot of things If you had just a feeling a sensation that you remember what would it be It's a lot of emotions building up Even watching Zonga warm up on the center court I remember what it was like to be there on the center court with an empty stadium I know the emotions of being on the center court with a full stadium and an engaged crowd Those are such great memories I haven't been here in 16 or 17 years These are incredible memories You stepped back 16 years ago and now your priorities are different your priority is your family your priority is your children That you heal through your foundation your children for tomorrow Are you not tired Are you not tired of talking all the time Do you have any tennis memories That is no longer often the case Sometimes I have the opportunity to be in the tournaments I am familiar with But working with a partner like Blanchine I have the opportunity to attend different events As you said I highlight my work with my foundation It's rare these days but that's okay because my life is filled with good things Thank you very much Goodbye
