About this deal

Looking at her dating history, she was in a romance with Donald Trump in 1989 but broke up after a month. Then she was in a relationship with Frank Unkelbach, a German businessman, in 1989 but parted their ways in 1990. She won six major international junior titles, including the girls' singles gold at the French Open. In 1984, she was named No. 1 in the world as a junior player. She made history by becoming the youngest player to reach the semifinals of the French Open when Chris Evert defeated him.

Yet while she was playing, tennis came first, glamour second. She is cautiously scathing about Anna Kournikova for whom the reverse is true. "She likes better the outside and the attention from her looks rather than her tennis," says Sabatini, but adds generously. "Even though she has the right game to be in the top five if she focuses." In the late 1980s, Sabatini launched a line of fragrances after partnering with the German perfume company Mülhens. Her signature scent debuted in 1989. Since retiring, she has continued to promote her lines of perfumes. She spoke with a psychologist and decided she no longer had total commitment. Her relaxed air suggests she is comfortable with her present life yet her eyes well up when she recalls announcing her retirement: "It was probably one of the toughest moments. I was so emotional. But when I made the speech it was such a relief."Tennis keeps you in this bubble," she says. "I wanted to experience life outside it. Remember, I used to wake up, have breakfast, practise for two hours, have lunch, rest a little, practice again for two hours then after that do some training for another hour. Sabatini reached the semifinals of the 1987 French Open, and reached the final of the 1987 WTA Tour Championships, losing to Steffi Graf both times. She also won three WTA titles, including defeating world No. 4, Pam Shriver in Brighton. Gabriela Sabatini Honoured with her Own Statue in Buenos Aires". Tennis World USA. 9 October 2014 . Retrieved 19 July 2020. In 1985, aged 15 years and three weeks, Sabatini became one of the youngest-ever players to reach the semifinals of the French Open, where she lost to Chris Evert. She won her first WTA Tour singles title later that year in Tokyo. She first entered the world's top ten (at #10) in September 1985, [8] and ended the year ranked number 12. She received the WTA Newcomer of the Year award. At the Australian Open, Sabatini reached the semifinals, saving three match points in the quarterfinals against Mary Pierce to defeat her 4–6, 7–6, 6–0, before losing to eventual champion, Seles. She reached consecutive finals at the Italian Open and German Open during the clay-court season. At the French Open in June, Sabatini lost to Mary Jo Fernandez in the quarterfinals 8–10 in the final set, in what was – at the time – the third longest match in Open Era tennis, having led 5–1 in the second set. [14] Sabatini also reached the quarterfinals at Wimbledon, and at the US Open where she lost to Graf in three sets.

It is a miserable picture, the celebrated young champion leaving a cheering stadium to contemplate her mountain of dirty kit. But she travelled without a retinue, just a coach, her brother - to whom she is very close - or her parents. Sabatini was awarded the International Club's prestigious Jean Borotra Sportsmanship Award in 2017 in recognition of both the sportsmanship she demonstrated throughout her career, and for her charitable projects post-retirement. She received the award from Rod Laver at the 2018 Wimbledon Championships. [28] Sabatini won the title at the Sydney International, defeating Davenport in the final in straight sets. As well as the reaching a record seventh final in the Amelia Island Championships and her third final at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix, she also reached the quarterfinals of both the French Open and Wimbledon, and the semifinals of the US Open (where she lost to eventual champion Graf 4–6, 6–7). Their semifinal was the 40th and final match between the pair, in which Graf led 29–11. Sabatini's 11 wins meant she had defeated Graf more times than any other player ever managed to defeat her. From 1986 until her five-month injury absence in 1996, Sabatini spent 508 consecutive weeks within the world's top 10. This remains the fourth longest top-10 streak among any player in WTA-tour history. [20] She spent 312 of those weeks in the world's top five, and finished six consecutive seasons with a top-5 ranking. [9] Sabatini reached the semifinal stage or better in Grand Slam championships on 18 occasions in singles and 14 times in doubles, and reached at least one Grand Slam singles semifinal for 11 consecutive years. She defeated the reigning world No. 1 on ten occasions (Graf seven times, Seles twice and Navratilova once) during her career. [21]The "vitalising essences of mandarin and pineapple, together with aquatic elements of melon", apparently represent in olfactory form Sabatini's wish "for a partner for life, for children and a family of her own".

Yet today Sabatini's looks have enabled her to continue earning with a successful range of perfumes. Not in the least girlie by nature, she had little thought of her appearance when playing, a neat ponytail being the limit of her centre court grooming. She is amused by the notion. "My name in a perfume! I mean wow! I wasn't into makeup or perfumes. But they sent me 20 or 30 scents to see which one I liked so I gave it a try." After drawing the tennis world’s attention, she began playing when she was six years old and won her first competition when she was eight years old. She became the youngest player to win the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida, at thirteen. And, although one might wonder who wants to smell like a professional sports player, she has launched around eight of them and they are huge in Germany, eastern Europe and Brazil. Her new one, Private Edition, comes with the cringe-making PR blurb: "The perfume reveals a truly personal side of the charismatic Argentine and divulges the secret of an attractive, self-assured and modern woman who takes the time today to enjoy the private moments in life." US Open Champion Sabatini was very fond of tennis from an early age. Gabriela Beatriz Sabatini was born to Osvaldo and Beatriz Garofalo Sabatini on May 16, 1970, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She has a sibling who is older than her. On the circuit she was regarded as aloof, even arrogant, barely greeting her fellow players, her striking dark looks and stature adding to the picture of a sulky Latin diva. But she was shy, she says, and very, very young in a game which requires intense, gladiatorial concentration.
