All good things
are three
The seats in Filderstadt are always much sought-after.
Lots of physical activity and emotions at boiling point.
Taking one’s mind off tennis - playing backgammon in the club house.
On court, they are two tough power women but after the match totally normal teenies.
Tracy Austin — new hairstyle, same joy.

More about the year 1980

She completes a hat-trick in Filderstadt — in the final Tracy Austin beats the American Sherry Acker and excites the tennis world with her tournament hat-trick. However, even more attention is focussed on a 15-year old teenager with braces, waist-length pony tails and the stoic efficiency of a computer-controlled racket arm. “Wunderkind” Andrea Jaeger catapults Germany’s top player Sylvia Hanika out of the competition and sparks a discussion as to how far parents should be allowed to push their young tennis daughters.
