Jennifer Capriati inducted into tennis hall

NEWPORT, R.I. -- Jennifer Capriati's tennis career -- and her teenage life -- took a number of twists and turns.

She was a teenage prodigy, then became sidetracked with off-court troubles before rebounding to become a three-time major singles champion.

Saturday, her journey was completed with her induction into the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

Joining Capriati were recently retired player Gustavo Kuerten, master player Manuel Orantes, tennis industry executive Mike Davies and wheelchair champion Randy Snow, who was honored posthumously. Capriati was presented by 2009 Hall of Fame inductee Monica Seles.

In a tear-filled acceptance speech, the 36-year-old Capriati remembered her great moments in the game and touched on some of her troubles off the court.

"I still managed to overcome some adversity, win a gold medal, win some Grand Slams and stand at the podium at the Hall of Fame," Capriati said, breaking down during her acceptance speech. "This is one milestone I thought I'd never achieve."

Drug and other problems sidetracked her life and career. She temporarily dropped off the tour following the 1993 U.S. Open. She was arrested in 1993 for shoplifting at a Florida mall, and again the next year for marijuana possession. She also spent time in drug rehabilitation in 1994. -- AP
