When Mary was on, her groundstrokes were scarily good. A lot of natural power and fast-twitch firepower in her shoulders...probably one of best ball strikers of all time. The only ones I've seen with kind of raw power combined with supreme ball striking are Serena and Sabalenka.

Great video quality....also I like how they used a variety of camera angles in that match.

Wow!! Even at such a young age...Steffi was so FREAKIN GOOD!!! 😱

I remember how badly wrote the (german) press about that young girl Davenport.

ahmmm..seles is the only one that can trash graf, vicario, pierce, sabatini, navratilova, evert, hingis, sharapova, serena, venus etc. If not for gunther parche attempted murder killing, seles is the real GOAT. Period. Full stop.

Steffi hadnt dropped a set all that year so far, a record I think that still stands. It was considered a huge achievement for Lindsay to have a set point. As for steffi, this is where her 1994 started to go downhill. She lost her first set of the year in the final to Zvereva, then took 5 weeks off. There's an interview with Steffi on TH-cam from August 1994 where she said after she came back from that 5 week break she was frustrated she wasn't playing as well so started to do a lot more training off the court. She said that normally during tournaments she put on weight, but she was still losing weight. She said it took her a while to realise that all the extra training was leaving her very tired and depleted and that was the reason why she had the string of losses that Summer.

5 yrs later, at Wimbledon finals, Davenport beat Graf only because Linds got fitter and her game improved as well...Also, Graf had an injured knee and had played 2 tough 3 setters previously.....Otherwise....a 100% Graf would have won that final!!

Davenport's talent was noticed very early on. It was her fitness that many questioned if I remember correctly. Her career kind of faltered in 1995 but she was back on track in 1996 after dropping a significant amount of weight. It took her a short while to break through at the majors though. But in fairness to her, she played in a very competitive era.

8:58 minutes: Graf hits a rare double handed backhand longline!!!

One of the best watches ever. How Chris pulled back-AMAZING.

Always loved how you would barely hear a peep from Steffi. Yet she was hitting as hard and running as much. God these noisy women are so annoying. 😂😂😂😂 ......Just had to get that off my chest glad Steffi was able to break back and pick up her game. Cunningham had her on the ropes but as great champions do Steffi pulled it off. 😊😊😊

My country Woman Amanda Coetzer vs my idol. Great match thank you for sharing

Rinaldi beat a teen Steffi. Steffi in her 20s in my humble opinion would have beaten her. 😊😊

Steffi también volea de maravilla!! Vaya drive más bueno ,slice y footwork

Мартина просто супер! Для меня она всегда лучшая ❤❤❤❤❤

Gosh. In full flight, there is no thher woman who had a more beautiful game than Steffi. She will forever be my GOAT

I don't think Chris liked Golarsa hitting the balls across the court in front of her. I think she probably felt very satisfied by the last point on many levels.

It was not that Chris played badly to lose the second set and get down in the third, and it wasn't that Golarsa played badly that Chris came back.

Steffi Graf was on fire that day. Her best I still believe even today 27 June 2024 is still the best ever. She is the standard in woman's tennis.

3R not 4R

Graf's speed around the court was mind bending. Arguably the greatest female athlete to play WTA.

Your right graf is still the best of the bests😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

3:36. What can you say?🤷‍♂️

It’s not Sugiyama playing bad but Steffi playing too good. Her serves, her slices, her footwork… just like going back to her vintage era.

Thank for the upload. 🙏 Do you happen to have Graf v Capriati from this tournament?

gran actuación de Lucic, llegar a Semis de Wimbledon, por otro lado Steffi siempre dominante el Césped!

I remember watching tjis match live on Spanish TV at night. Steffi had beaten Huber very easy in the semis and Arantxa did so with Coetzer. Anticipated final with Graf on top ❤

When Natasha was on her game, she could be very difficult to stop. Just ask Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario and Gabriela Sabatini. In the 1st round, Natasha got by Arantxa in a tight 2-setter and then Natasha disposed of Sabatini in the QF. In fact, Natasha had already beaten Arantxa earlier in 1995. And after several tough losses to Sabatini in previous years, Natasha put it all together to oust Sabatini who was the defending champ at the '95 WTA Championships. Unfortunately for Natasha, she couldn't keep the momentum going and eventually fell to Steffi in the semifinals.

In the Spring of 1993, Steffi seemed to be continuing the steady progress she'd had in autumn 1992. She won here and in Hilton Head and was also a finalists in Miami. She apparently only entered Hilton Head in the hope of playing Monica Seles to test herself and see what level she was at. But Monica was in the middle of what was then the longest absence for any world #1 (before the stabbing), and didn't play after her loss to Navratilova in Paris in February until her return in Hamburg in April. It meant that in the 12 months leading up to the stabbing, Steffi had actually won more tournaments than Monica, which is the reason why she got the #1 ranking back so quickly after Monica couldn't defend her French Open title.

I think it was after this exhibition Sabatini said she thought Steffi could easily return to the wta tour without missing a beat? That's very high praise from Sabatini, she didn't play that badly here but no way Steffi was gong to lose this match in basically her own backyard. Just wish we could have seen both girls play some exhibitions against Arantxa and Jana before she passed.

At some point the commentators say that Monica could win the Grand Slam if she were able to pass the grass exam, whereas in the men field they could not envision anyone winning the Grand Slam. Monica sure would have won in 93 :'(

It's a pity these two didn't meet more often. They both have such beautiful style of play. Great reflexes by both players in this match. A quality match despite the lopsided score.

this was the golden age of women tennis

Steffi got her revenge from the prev yr loss to Martina. I gotta hand it to Martina. I may not agree with some of her stances off the court, but there's no denying she changed the game for the better.

In the first half of 1994 Steffi's level of her game was as good as ever (might be her best ever) but suddenly that slump happened in the second half mainly due to her back pain.

I remember reading the paper saying that the way Mojoli played was similar to Seles’s. Do you agree and what is the similarity between them?

Majoli got very nice width on the backhand and handled the slice well.

Iva was never able to trouble Steffi. She just loved the pace Iva gave her on the ball.

Mary had such power & is very friendly & charismatic. Great for promoting women's tennis. And stunningly gorgeous too

I think this 1998 and not 1999

11:54 stunning topspin backhand by Steff

Like l mentioned earlier with another match involving Mary Pierce if the other player is trying to exclusively slice on the backhand side it's going to be tough. Mary Pierce like many had several issues , injuries and problems that got in the way of her success. But when she was clicking it was scary.

Arrantxa play horrible tenía, not power not atack not service just come to all the shoots

Great to watch. Never a dull moment with La Pierce. Gawd, she could be breathtaking.

Arantxa una tenista con suerte sin poder solo provocaba el error solo le pudo ganar a Mónica 3 veces y en la final de RG Mónica ya la tenía lista pero su sobre peso y su mente le jugaron en contra esa final el tercer set Mónica estaba muy cansada después de esa final arantxa nunca le volvió a ganar a Mónica es desagradable ver a arantxa jugar Mónica iba imbatible 1993 lastima pudo ganar el us open 95 un as que le quitaron en el primer set y barrió con graf 6 0 en el segundo estsba muy pasada de peso Mónica pudo ganar al menos 8 más GS

I think she won against Steffi post 1996 mostly by throwing in moonball and topspins that bored Steffi to death.

Final! Why was Graf so calm? no even happily smile.

Muy agradable juego de Steffi. Pudo ganar este partido

OH the footwork Iga like steffi

While she was coached by Gavin Hopper, Amanda really improved upon not only her fitness but her anticipation and court positioning looked better too. At least until 1998 when she and Gavin parted ways.
