Origin
and identity

Jennifer Capriati's forceful groundstrokes carried a teenage prodigy to Olympic gold and later powered a remarkable return to major success.

Capriati reached the sport's biggest stages extraordinarily young. At sixteen she beat Steffi Graf for Olympic singles gold, but her later climb would become as memorable as the early arrival.

In 2001 she won the Australian Open and Roland Garros, reached No. 1 and made every major semifinal. Her Melbourne defense the following year demanded an escape from four championship points against Martina Hingis.
