Saw that live and wondered what her response said about her.
She certainly lived up to it later on.
Why a woman with such huge career earnings still felt the need to act out the role of golddigger is beyond me. I guess evolutionary psychology dies hard.

Steffi Graf (to spectator): "How much money do you make?"The funniest and wittiest response ever of a professional tennis player to a remark from the stands.
Steffi Graf!
A couple. Here's two:Condoleezza said:Is there one important record this woman doesn't hold?-Condi
to the rest of you : this is just a personal "tweak-fest" between my homie Condi and I; you need not bother reading into this.....
Steffi Graf (to spectator): "How much money do you make?"
Analysis: Steffi Graf's reprehensible inquisitiveness of monetary accquisitiveness does not remotely suggest to the 'humorously honed' ear, a sense that her 'funny bone' is in tune with the "socially evolved." Her quip couldn't even be tagged as worthy of, a Joan Rivers, for example. Whatever fraternal traits Ms. Graf shares with the heavily plasticized and botoxed Ms. Rivers, they clearly are not based on an inherent ability to combine clever conception with facetious expression as is often the case with Ms. Rivers. No, Ms. Graf's gauche, impotent attempt at pithy repartee, more to the points, suggests that the only "fraternal" traits she shares with Ms. Rivers is the socially tasteless, run-of-the-mill AVARICE commonly found among the nouveau riche.
Conclusion: "So....how much money do you make?" ???
Clearly, not exactly a George Bernard Shaw-type "come-back."
To help further illustrate the "witty" (not) point: here are two other examples that are clearly out of the one-track-mind-$ "golddigger" Graf's league:
<embarrassing low-life McEnroe rants mercifully del>
<Penthouse on records>
A couple. Here's two:
I. Most times stabbed by a Steffi Graf fan while trying to play a tennis match......in Germany.
II. Most times stabbed by a Steffi Graf fan while trying to play a tennis match....anywhere. ....
Please, oh God, don't bring up Monica Seles or the stabbing in this thread. The last thing I want is a hijacked thread. This was just supposed to be a bit of a laugh, don't make it into a huge argument. -_-
What were you thinking??Please, oh God, don't bring up Monica Seles or the stabbing in this thread. The last thing I want is a hijacked thread. This was just supposed to be a bit of a laugh, don't make it into a huge argument. -_-
It's baiting and counter-baiting. These Seles-Graf arguments are becoming so tiresome.Please, oh God, don't bring up Monica Seles or the stabbing in this thread. The last thing I want is a hijacked thread. This was just supposed to be a bit of a laugh, don't make it into a huge argument. -_-
No worries, Dedans. I wasn't singling you out in particular, just expressing my displeasure about the general trend. I can see that there can be a funny angle to this, so I'm not taking it as seriously as my post seems to suggest.Grand Slam & Polaris: re-read the very top of my post (you don't have to read the entire post, SINCE YOU WERE ADVISED NOT TO UPFRONT), but just the top of it. There it is: a harmless little advisory noting that the following was a harmless "tweak" just between Condi and I (the word actually used; not "flame" but tweak). And so what did you Grand Slam do? You whined "oh please God....blah, blah." Now what part of "tweak" didn't you get? Further, Steffi Graf's illustrious career has ended; i.e. she retired from the tour YEARS AGO. If I was going to get petty and whine like you, I'd whine that this post really belongs in the "Former Pro Player" section....so obvious even the Geico caveman would know better.
"boring?" "stupid tweak?"
uh-oh.......look who's whining again. lol ;-)
I think Agassi's response of the news he was getting married to a certain journalist was infinitely better:
"We've invited the 100 best jounalists in the world to the wedding, did you get an invitation?"
Though I may not like your "dislike," I do love your "great intensity."... I dislike you with great intensity.
Problem is, he never said that ....
Condi
Yes, he did. Geeze, what is it with you?
Not really.... Are you high or something? x__x;
Hey Rabbit, don't 'cha like it that whenever Condi becomes involved in any tempest-in-a-teacup fray involving "her royal beakness" Steffi, how she can flip out on a dime? Kind of like shootin' fish in a barrell wouldn't you say? Or, kind of like driving twin Escalades (w/ 22's") up Steffi's stuffy nostrils.
Not really.
I'm sorry my pet, but did you really expect me to respond to your ("I dislike you with great intensity")) post seriously?
Seriously ol' chap, I dare say: who actually speaks like that: ("I dislike you with great intensity")?
Given the hillariously pompous rhetoric of yours, your subsequent "are you high?" question would in fact be best directed towards yourself. However, I will not belabor the point in posing that question in your direction because, first and foremost, I'm a really 'swell guy' and also because your "are your high?" question was after all, just a tired, worn-out, cliche-ridden, pedestrian "response" that one reads all too often. However, I must confess with all frankness and candor, mon amie: I found your "I dislike you with great intensity" comment quite amusing. Very poetic. Given your penchant for poetic posts, I wonder (on the other hand) how an actual compliment from you might read?
".....I, The Grand Salami unequivocably equate you Dedans Penthouse, with a stream of bat's ****: a shaft of 'GOLD' when all around is dark...."

Good one! Lol! But: there is a difference between pompous and purposely "over-the-top" rhetoric. You're not reading me correctly; i.e. I = the latter.....sniff...sniff......
That from you!
Good one!!!Condi
Grand Slam, the thread had already been hijacked...or should I say Condi-jacked.
And, congrats on winning the Picking Fly Doo Doo out of Pepper award. I'm sure you're very proud of the ability.
Priceless. I've never heard that particular euphemism for picky
