Martina must be one of the best 17 year old tennis players in history. She won 12 WTA Tournaments in '97 including three of the four Grand Slams, with only a defeat by Iva Majoli at the French Open final keeping Martina from a Grand Slam sweep. Martina ended the season with a remarkable 79-6 win/loss record, and the award for the WTA Tour Player of the Year.
As for 1998, she has a win/loss record of 32-3 at the moment, and a 10-0 record on clay. Although the success of last season will be hard to repeat, she has won 5 titles this season, and is very determined to add the French Open trophy to her mantlepiece!
