On Sport and Society. 615. https://stars.library.ucf.edu/onsportandsociety/615 SPORT AND SOCIETY FOR H-ARETE February 5, 2001 The comeback of Mario Lemieux with the Pittsburgh Penguins has converged very nicely with that of Jennifer Capriati. In the past week Capriati completed her long climb back to the top of women's tennis, and in the middle of his latest comeback Lemieux was voted NHL player of the month for January. For Lemieux this is at least the second comeback of his remarkable career. The first calamity struck in January of 1993 when Mario was diagnosed with a form of Hodgkin's disease. Radiation treatments ravaged his body and he was unable to perform normal everyday tasks, let alone play hockey. After sitting out the 1994-95 season he came back and performed better than ever continuing at the record breaking pace of points and goals that once made him a legitimate threat to challenge the scoring records of Wayne Gretzky.

  • Lindsay Davenport (USA) 7-5 6-3 Winner’S Prize: Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet Prize Money: 450,000 US Dollar
    History 1998 - 2007 1998 Final: Sandrine Testud (FRA) - Lindsay Davenport (USA) 7-5 6-3 Winner’s Prize: Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet Prize Money: 450,000 US Dollar Host Dieter Fischer celebrated his 60th birthday. Much to his delight, Stefanie Graf entered the Grand Prix for the first time since 1985 but a hand injury thwarted her comeback in Filderstadt. Professor Ferdinand “Ferry” Porsche, the Grand Prix's great friend and sponsor, died. He last visited the event in 1996 when he handed over the prize - a Boxster - to the young Martina Hingis. His seat in the stand remained empty. 1999 Final: Martina Hingis (SUI) - Mary Pierce (FRA) 6-4 6-1 Winner’s Prize: Porsche Boxster S Prize Money: 500,000 US Dollar Sometimes it is not only spectacular tennis that thrills spectators. It happened in the first changeover of the final between Martina Hingis and Mary Pierce when the crowd applauded a fellow player sitting in the VIP box next to Porsche chairman Dr. Wendelin Wiedeking. A few weeks after retiring from tournament tennis, Stefanie Graf came to Filderstadt to watch the tournament. Martina Hingis raised her racket in the direction of her former rival as if to say, “Come down, do you want to play for me?” Stefanie Graf laughed and refused the offer. She had in the meantime established herself as a keen observer of the sport she had so dominated for over a decade. The final was over in no time at all. Martina Hingis seemed to be in a hurry to win her third Porsche at her sixth appearance at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix.
