About this listen

In the summer of 1988, Steffi Graf stands on the verge of tennis immortality. Fresh off her stunning Wimbledon triumph, she faces a world that’s no longer asking “if” she’ll win the Grand Slam, but “when.” But behind the headlines and parades, Steffi’s journey is anything but straightforward. As the pressure mounts, she must navigate not just the expectations of a nation, but private turmoil. This episode uncovers the true cost of greatness, the relentless scrutiny of history, and the summer when Steffi Graf nearly lost everything before her greatest victory was even in reach.
