Jennifer Maria Capriati is a former American world number one tennis player. A member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame, she won three Grand Slam singles titles and was a gold medalist at the 1992 Summer Olympics.

Capriati was one of the first power players to emerge on the women's circuit in the early-to-mid-1990s, along with Monica Seles, Lindsay Davenport, and Mary Pierce. Her style of play was characterized by taking the ball early and on the rise, powerful ground-strokes, and an aggressive mindset on the return of service.

In the 1990s, she signed a reported $3 million contract with Diadora, and a $1 million contract with Prince tennis rackets. In the early 2000s, her tennis court apparel line was manufactured by Fila. She used a Prince Precision Retro 27 Midplus racket.

Capriati was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2012 at the age of just 36, and is generally considered one of the best tennis players of her generation and one of the best Grand Slam performers of her time frequently getting to the latter stages. A video game titled Jennifer Capriati Tennis was released for the Sega Genesis in 1992. In 2001, ESPN named Capriati one of the world's sexiest athletes. She was awarded with the Laureus World Sports Award for Comeback of the Year in 2001 and Laureus World Sports Award for Sportswoman of the Year in 2002.

Capriati was born in New York City to Denise and Stefano Capriati, of Italian descent. In 1993, at age 17, Capriati was charged with shoplifting a $15 ring from a mall kiosk, which she has described as accidental.

She was arrested on May 16, 1994, and charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession. She agreed to enter a drug counselling program. In 1994, Capriati stated she had contemplated suicide because of tennis burnout and issues over her appearance and relationships. In 2010, she required treatment for a drug overdose. In 2013, Capriati was charged with battery and stalking after reportedly following and striking former boyfriend Ivan Brennan on Valentine's Day. The charges were later dropped. In 2014, the state attorney's office in Palm Beach County, Florida, announced that Capriati had completed 30 hours of community service and four hours of anger management counseling in connection with the incident.
