Instagram profile of tennis ace Steffi Graf disappears without a trace.
Her tennis career has made Steffi Graf a sports icon, but the 56-year-old keeps her online presence to a minimum. Her own Instagram profile was an exception for a short time. Now it has been deactivated.
For a while, Steffi Graf was one of the most famous Germans in the world. In her unparalleled career as a tennis player, the Mannheim-born player won 22 Grand Slam tournaments.
In 1988, she won each of the Grand Slam tournaments held that year – this feat, known as the “Golden Slam”, remains unique in professional tennis to this day.
In 1999, at the age of 30, Graf surprisingly announced her retirement from professional sport. Since then, she has largely withdrawn from the limelight.
“Best source for everything to do with Steffi Graf”
For a short time, her official Instagram profile was a source of news, information and current pictures of the tennis icon. The 56-year-old had been actively using it since March 2025. The profile was advertised as the “best source for everything to do with Steffi Graf”.
It also featured “updates, events and exclusive posts from the Graf team”, as it went on to say. But four months later, this has come to an end: the site has been deactivated. However, the deletion was not announced.
