Graf was named Austrian Sportswoman of the Year in 2000 and 2001, and in 2001 was also voted European Athlete of the Year after becoming world champion runner-up. Her duels with Maria Mutola were legendary. From 2005-08, Graf was married to professional golfer Niki Zitny.

In 2010, Graf was retrospectively banned for two years due to her involvement in the Austrian blood doping scandal.
