MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

The Maleevas still tennising

Perhaps the most prolific tennis family ever, the Maleeva sisters still are in the game.

Youngest sister Maggie, now 44 (career high No. 4) is playing the legends at Wimbledon.

She’s the co-founder of an organic food company in Bulgaria.

Big sister Manuela, 52 (No. 3) who retired in 1994, lives in Switzerland. Middle sister Katerina got to No. 6.

This week, Manuela is hosting Genie Bouchard as “a bit of a coach, a bit of a sparring partner” for a few days. Bouchard is friends with Maleeva’s two daughters. 

All three Maleevas were seeded for three Slams in 1993, which is nuts.
