Alexandra Stevenson
Alexandra Stevenson is a former professional tennis player who achieved media fame with her record-setting run to the Wimbledon semifinals in 1999 at the age of 18. She is the only woman to have won eight matches, including qualifying, at Wimbledon. Her father is Julius Erving, a fact that was not revealed to the news media until later. Stevenson has competed in fits and starts at lower-level and WTA tournaments over the last decade but has not made the main draw of a Grand Slam event since 2004. She still dreams of making a return to Wimbledon, hoping to win one day.
