News Longines is proud to announce a new addition to its star-studded family of ambassadors: Stefanie Graf. An unforgettable tennis champion, a woman of compassion and courage, Steffi Graf is the perfect embodiment of the fundamental values held by Longines: excellence and elegance. Longines can now proudly boast among its ambassadors the most incredible pair of tennis players of all time, since Andre Agassi, Stefanie’s husband, joined the Longines family in 2007.
This highly talented icon of women’s tennis started playing at the age of four and quickly rose to join the top-ranking players. During a career that lasted 17 years, Stefanie won every possible title: 902 tournaments including 22 Grand Slams and an Olympic medal; she was no.1 in the WTA ranking for 377 weeks - a record that has not been beaten to this day.
Graf officially retired in 1999 and has since devoted her time to her family - she and Andre Agassi have two children - as well as the charitable foundation she set up called Children for Tomorrow. The aim of the foundation is to provide help for children and families that have suffered the trauma of war, exile and violence.
