Martina must be one of the best 17 year old tennis players in history. She won 12 WTA Tournaments in '97 including three of the four Grand Slams, with only a defeat by Iva Majoli at the French Open final keeping Martina from a Grand Slam sweep. Martina has ended the season with a remarkable 79-6 win/loss record, and the award for the WTA Tour Player of the Year.
