Full Franziska van Almsick Biography
Unlike Steffi Graf, Franziska van Almsick never had a corner on success. Moments of triumph were often followed by bitter defeats. She would be exalted high - and at the very next moment be showered with envy and gloating. Similar to Boris Becker she has experienced extreme ups and downs, and this may be the main reason for people having such a persistent interest in her.
As eventful as Franziska's career has been, as contradictory she is as a person: glamour girl and yet quite natural, "saucy brat" and yet a little shy, cheerful and yet a little melancholic, enterprising and yet somewhat retired, determined and yet often doubtful. Above all, she has kept being openhearted and sincere, never wearing a mask, always being true to herself. This has made her vulnerable, but it is also the reason why she is enjoying so much sympathy and solidarity. |
