When the life of tennis ace Skoff is made into a movie

Triumphs, affairs and a mysterious death: the life of Carinthian tennis star Horst Skoff is to be made into a movie. The "Krone" spoke to his companions and reveals the first details of what is likely to be a much-talked-about screen project.

The movie "Perfect Match" about the love affair between tennis megastars Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi has just been filmed. The most successful sportswoman in tennis history (22 Grand Slam titles and an incredible 377 weeks at the top of the world rankings) married the US star, who won eight Grand Slams.

Incidentally, Graf won all four Grand Slam tournaments and the Olympic Games in 1988 and is the only person to date to have won the Golden Slam.
