Jennifer Capriati stormed into the tennis world as a teenager, fell apart after that and almost lost her way before returning to women's tennis as a wiser individual.

Though she didn't win a grand slam title soon after her debut, she became, at the age of 14, the youngest women's semifinalist at the French Open in 1990. In 1992, she became the youngest semifinalist at Wimbledon. She looked firmly on the path of tennis glory when she beat stalwart Steffi Graf to claim the Gold in the 1992 Olympics. But then the pressure got to her and she fell apart. She was caught for shoplifting in 1993 and arrested for the possession of drugs soon after that.

When many had dismissed her as a burnt out case, she made a comeback in the late nineties and went on to win her first grand slam, the Australian Open in 2001. She won the French the same year and successfully defended her Australian Open title in 2002.
