Magdalena Maleeva is the youngest of the Maleeva sisters, but she is considered the most talented one. She started her tennis career in Bulgaria, there she was several times Bulgarian champ (the youngest Bulgarian champ ever), she has also won the European Junior's title ( with a win over A. Huber in the 1/2 finals), Orange Bowl ( with a win over M. Pierce in the final), The Aus Open Juniors, Roland Garos Juniors and Us Open Juniors in one year, a leader in the juniors rankings with no rivelry at all. Her enormous potential and her way of play (while the other two Maleevas are considered mainly base line players, Maggie feels compfortable everywhere on the court) helped her to become one of the most considerable tennis players in the history of tennis. She together with the other class players (Graf, Seles, Navratilova, Sances, Martinez, the other Maleevas, Capriati etc) lead the game to a new, better level.
