Seven-times Wimbledon champion Steffi Graf has said she would like to play at the All England Club again. The German played her last match on Centre Court in the 1999 final, losing 6-4 7-5 to American Lindsay Davenport. "It's not 100 per cent sure, but I would like to play on the court very much.

"And my shape is good enough for that," Graf told German media on Monday.
Two years ago, Graf's husband of three-and-a-half years Andre Agassi said the German may return as his mixed doubles partner at tournaments although reports were quickly scotched.
Off the court, Graf is indulging in her latest hobby: photography.
"I'm an amateur, but I want to get so many pictures as I can in Wimbledon," she smiled.
The former world number also predicted that if Serena Williams returned from the injury that prevented her from playing at Roland Garros, the American would win again at SW19.
"If Serena Williams (the 2002 and 2003 champion) comes back, than I think she has a good chance to win. She is very strong on grass", she said.
