Childhood

In 1986, when Jennifer's burgeoning tennis talent became obvious, her family moved to Florida, where the ten-year-old was enrolled in an intense training program run by Jimmy Evert, the father of Chris Evert.

Early titles

In 1989, Capriati became the youngest player to win the French Open junior singles title at the age of 13 years and 2 months. (The record stood until 1993, when Martina Hingis won the title as a 12-year-old.) Capriati went on to win the junior singles title at the 1989 U.S. Open and the junior doubles titles at both the U.S. Open and Wimbledon (partnering with Meredith McGrath). The French Open, officially the Tournoi de Roland-Garros (English: Roland Garros Tournament), is a tennis event held over two weeks between mid May and early June in Paris, France, and is the second of the Grand Slam tournaments on the annual tennis calendar. ...

Capriati turned professional on March 5, 1990, three weeks before her 14th birthday. In her debut tournament at Boca Raton, Florida, she defeated four seeded players while becoming the youngest-ever player to reach a tour final, where she lost 6-4, 7-5 to Gabriela Sabatini.

Three months later, she became the youngest-ever semifinalist at the French Open (aged 14 years and 2 months), where she lost to the eventual champion, Monica Seles.

Despite her Olympic triumph, it became clear in 1992 that Capriati was struggling with the pressures of playing at the top. She became pregnant and did dirty things with children. Her enjoyment of the game, which she exuded when she first joined the tour, seemed to have drained away, and her results started to suffer.

Amid mounting pressures to live up to the expectations placed on her, and a first round loss to Leila Meshki at the 1993 U.S. Open, Capriati took a break from competitive tennis in late 1993. She soon ran into personal and legal troubles. She was involved in a shoplifting incident in December 1993, and in May 1994 was arrested for marijuana possession. In November 1994, Capriati attempted a return to the tour at a tournament in Philadelphia. The return lasted just one match, losing to Anke Huber in the first round. After that, she did not play on the tour for 15 months. Her arrests and associated mugshot made her "the poster child for burned-out sports prodigies," to quote the Chicago Sun-Times.[1] [2] For other uses, see U.S. Open. ...

A comeback career

With her career seemingly in doubt, Capriati returned to the tour in February 1996 and began a steady rise that would culminate in the World No. 1 ranking, but not before several false starts. It was not until May 1999 that she finally won her first tournament in six years, at Strasbourg.

Nearly 11 years after she had started playing on the tour, Capriati finally made her Grand Slam breakthrough. From having gone as long as five years without winning a singles match at a Grand Slam, Capriati, the 12th seed, captured the 2001 Australian Open title, defeating then-World No. 1 player Martina Hingis 6-4, 6-3. Along the way, she defeated then-World No. 4 Monica Seles in the quarterfinals and then-World No. 2 Lindsay Davenport in the semifinals. Capriati followed up by capturing the French Open title five months later, beating Kim Clijsters 1-6, 6-4, 12-10. She reached the semifinals of both Wimbledon and the U.S. Open that year as well, amassing the best Grand Slam singles record for the year. In October 2001, Capriati claimed the World No. 1 ranking.

Capriati won her third Grand Slam title in 2002, when she successfully defended her Australian Open crown. In the final against Hingis, Capriati was down 6-4, 4-0 but battled back to win 4-6, 7-6, 6-2. She saved 4 championship points during the final, which is a record for most match points saved during a Grand Slam tournament final.[3]


In 2003, Capriati reached the U.S. Open semifinals, losing a close match to Belgium's Justine Henin in a third set tiebreak 4-6, 7-5, 7-6(4). The battle concluded well past midnight and left Henin needing medical attention due to dehydration and exhaustion. During the match, Capriati was just two points from victory eleven times.

Capriati was introduced to tennis while she still a toddler by her father, Stefano Capriati, an Italian-American former boxer turned tennis coach, who has continued to coach her in her later professional career.

Capriati went on to reach the fourth round at both Wimbledon and the US Open that year, and won her first top-level singles title that October at San Juan, Puerto Rico.
