Yep, she learned the hard way that an eight ball is much heavier than a tennis ball!

Bill, actually it was possession of marijuana after a party in a Florida motel in 1994 (not crack).

After many years, she made a comeback and she went on to capture 2 majors! That was pretty

Plus the following year she was the semifinalist at both Wimbledon and the US Open.

BTW Bill, she was charged with marijuana possession (age 18) in 1994 (not crack!) at a party at a Florida hotel, plus the year before, she was caught shoplifting (age 17) a $35 ring in 1993.



Jennifer's marijuana mugshot was shown all over the world in every magazine, newspaper and all over TV.

She won the juniors at the French and the U.S. Open at age 13 and she also won the junior doubles title at the Open.

While still 13 she turned professional in 1990. At age 14 she was on the cover of Sports Illustrated. My goodness! Talk about being "thrown to the wolves". Guess she just had too much on the plate way too early in life? She was a huge national teen sports idol at age 14!

At age 14 she was a semi-finalist at the French Open and at age 15 was the youngest ever to make the semi-finals at Wimbledon.

Let's not forget, in 1992 Jennifer Capriati won the gold metal for the U.S.A., beating Steffi Graf in Barcelona

Lets give the lady some props for getting her life back on track in a BIG WAY! Like over 10 million dollars in prize money!

In 2003, troubled with back and shoulder injuries she faded from competition.
