Two opposing professional tennis players can go through a brand new tennis ball in under an hour. It really depends on the use of the tennis ball, though. If the tennis ball just sits around and is only played with a few hours a week at a non-competitive level, then the new tennis ball can last about three weeks until definite characteristics of the tennis ball have changed.

Stefi Graf won her last Wimbledon title in 1996. Since then the women's singles titles have been won by Martina Hingis (Swiss), Venus Williams (USA), Serena Williams (USA), Maria Sharipova (Russian), Amélie Mauresmo (French), and Petra Kvitová (Czech) so she is definitely the last German to win it.
