Franziska van Almsick never had a corner on success. Moments of triumph were often followed by bitter defeats. She would be exalted high - and at the very next moment be showered with envy and gloating. Similar to Boris Becker she has experienced extreme ups and downs, and this may be the main reason for people having such a persistent interest in her.
