Jennifer Marie Capriati (born March 29, 1976, in New York City) is a former World No. 1 women's tennis player from the United States. She won three Grand Slam singles titles (2001 and 2002 Australian Open, 2001 French Open), and the women's singles gold medal at the 1992 Olympic Games. In 2002, she received an ESPY for Comeback Player of the Year. That year's nominees included such high profile talent as Mario Lemieux and Michael Jordan. In 2005, TENNIS Magazine put her in 36th place in its list of 40 Greatest Players of the TENNIS era. Capriati was one of the first big-hitters to emerge on the women's tennis tour in the 1990s, along with other players, including Lindsay Davenport, Mary Pierce and Monica Seles. Her game was built around her flat forehand, which could be devastating when hit hard.
