Why she might be annoying:

    She was pregnant with Andre Agassi's baby out of wedlock.
    She married Andre (October 22, 2001) and gave birth four days later.
    She successfully sued to stop the play of a German record called 'I Want to Make Love to Steffi Graf.'
    She was awarded $37,000 in damages.
    One of the song's lines was 'kiss my balls till your racket falls.
    The song also claimed she was having an incestuous affair with her father, Peter.
    A photographer claims to hold a picture of them French kissing.
    Gunther Parche, a man obsessed with Graf, was upset that Monica Seles had jumped ahead of Graf into the #1 ranking.
    So this lunatic stabbed Seles in the back during a match in Hamburg (April 30, 1993).
    She had been #1 from August 17, 1987 through March 10, 1997).
    While Seles took time off to recuperate, Graf regained the #1 status.
    The assailant Parche was let off by a German judge.
    She turned down Penthouse (offering $150,000) and Playboy (offering $750,000) for a nude spread (1990).
    Her father Peter, was sued for paternity by a nude model, Nicole Meissner.
    He paid Nicole $424,000 with somewhat illegally gotten funds to make the suit disappear.
    Peter eventually did do some jail time for tax evasion.

Why she might not be annoying:

    In 1989, she said she liked the United States better than Germany because she could keep her privacy.
    However, on February 24, 1992 a photographer in a helicopter took pictures of her sunbathing in Florida.
    A famous picture of her breast popping out during a Wimbledon celebration party has appeared in many magazines.
    She posed for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue (1997)
