Lucic just this year has seen her ranking rise from 240s to the 150s in a few months; she won a Challenger event, then qualified for Birmingham and reached R16, qualified for Wimbledon(!), playing Azarenka quite well on Centre Court, and then qualified for Palermo and reached R16. She's back on the WTA!
I think Steffi peaked in the QF against Venus who said at the time it was the best that she(venus) had played and lost. It was a glorious match with a slower Steffi still able to hit it out with the big guns.

If Lucic had won this match her career would probably never had taken a stumble.

Miss Graf's last pro victory. SIGH. But a wonderful end that shows her fighting spirit and brilliance
