When Steffi Graf weighed in on raising her children in America
In a 2011 interview with FurSie, Steffi Graf opened up about why she raised her children in America rather than Germany. She said comfort was one of the biggest reasons.
“I feel very comfortable here. You live very unobserved. I also have most of my family around me. Andre’s family lives here, my mother and my brother with his children,” Steffi Graf said.
She also opened up about the charitable qualities American children are taught.
“Oh yes. Here in the USA, children learn early on to give back: They help out at the animal shelter, donate their toys or sell homemade baked goods to raise money for those in need. Community and a sense of community are very much cultivated, more so than in Germany. That’s what I appreciate about life in the USA.”
Steffi Graf enjoyed an illustrious career, winning 22 Grand Slam singles titles, second in the Open Era behind Serena Williams. In 1988, she became the only player in tennis history to complete the Golden Slam by winning all four Majors and the Olympic gold medal in the same year.
