September 10, 1988, marked a groundbreaking moment in tennis history when Steffi Graf completed the calendar-year Grand Slam by winning the U.S. Open. At just 19 years old, Graf dominated the women's game that year, having already won the Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon. Her U.S. Open victory over Gabriela Sabatini in straight sets secured her place in tennis immortality.

But Graf wasn’t done—later that month, she went on to win gold at the Seoul Olympics, achieving the “Golden Slam.” Her performance in 1988 remains one of the greatest achievements in tennis, solidifying her status as a legend of the sport.
