Gabriela Beatriz Sabatini was born on May 16, 1970, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She started her career at a very young age and she turns professional at the age when she was 15. She was one of the leading players on the women's circuit in the late-1980s and early-1990s.
Sabatini had a strong start to 1991, winning five tournaments in the first half of the year. She reached her third Grand Slam singles final at Wimbledon and yet again faced Graf.
After winning five tournaments in 1992, Sabatini had a 29-month drought in which she failed to win a title. She brought this run to an end at the WTA Tour Championships in 1994 and then won her first tournament of 1995 at Sydney (defeating Lindsay Davenport in the final of both events).
Sabatini retired from the professional tour in the year 1996, after winning 27 singles titles and 12 doubles titles. She played her last professional match on October 19 1996 in the doubles' semi-final in Zurich, with Lori McNeil.
