- Roland Garros 1992 witnessed a historic match in the women's draw. Monica Seles won her third consecutive Grand Slam after beating Steffi Graf. That third set that lasted 91 minutes has gone down in history as one of the best for its level. We remember this fantastic final.

Seles is my greatest tennis player of all time💪
This wasn't a tennis match. It was a gladiator fight. Best tennis ever.
Steffi hit 66 unforced errors (Seles only 30).
But I have to admit, when Steffi played below average and Seles was in good form we always got exciting matches. Was the same with Steffi and Sabatini or Sanchez.
@@carrerau7138 Hahaha. Clearly the comment of one of those Graf fan fanatics who can't take it that Graf lost to Seles.
@@carrerau7138😂😂😂😂 Mónica 3-1 in finals VS ur fav 🤣😂😂🤣😂😂
@@carrerau7138 Your comments are trash as usual. Mrs. Parche got her ass handed to her.
Monica Seles
This is brilliant tennis. Seles thrashed Steffi in the first set and lost the second and hung in there and won a tense third. Truly the best ever. Seles is my greatest tennis player of all time
You sound so silly give me the facts, where is? She's the best Tennis player of all time. She doesn't have all the grand slams. What are you talking about? And you think you can just dismiss Serena Williams, girl or boy? Whoever the hell you are, ghost it out, clown.
No coincido contigo, Seles no es la mejor de todos los tiempos, nunca ganó Wimbledon, y Graf ganó todos los Grand Slams, obvio las opiniones son respetables, pero Navratilova y Evert eran mejores, lo que tenía Seles era potencia y buen temperamento, y eso la ayudo a llegar donde llego; el tenis de antes era más estrategia, y hoy es pura potencia, y obvio, son distintas generaciones, yo soy del tiempo de Sabatini.
@@danielnavarro8054she played Wimbledon at age 16 and 18. Before the stabbing.
She got to the final at age 18.
She was prevented from winning Wimbledon. She didn't fail to win it.
@@oneilg8988 Seles returned at age 21.
Same age when Navratilova won her first slam, in Wimbledon.
So stop your childish whining.
Monica was a teen with 8 majors. She won 8/12 Majors before the stabbing. She was 3 times defending French and Australian Open Champ and 2 times defending US open Champ. Over the same period Stefi was 2/12 Majors. She would have been the greatest ever.
I think so though. The absolute greatest ever. We will never know for sure though. Her tennis was fantastic and for that time revolutionizing. And her mental power was even more out of this world.
The point is that Monica Seles never won Wimbledon, the oldest and most prestigious tournament on earth. Steffi Graf lost to Monica Seles in the grandslam tournament, AO 93 99 FO 90 92. Monica Seles never dominated Steffi Graf in her heyday.
@ekafardiani1073 Steffi was dominat pre and post Seles. But Seles never dominated her in her heyday huh?
As for Wimbledon. . . . Seles played the tournament 2 or 3 times as a teen and got to 1 final.
Had she not been stabbed, are you sure she wouldn't have won it?
Seles had a lot of success because Steffi played only her 11th-best season in 1991 and her 9th-best season in 1992.
Against peak Steffi Seles had no chance.
BTW, the fastest surface on which Seles ever was able to beat the great Steffi was FO's clay courts.
Enough said.
Seles mental strength was out of this world. And she played definitely better at AUS Open 93. She was on the rise.
Seles was a mental midget.
Which other top player would have quit the tour for more than two years after a small stab wound?
Seles was NOT on the rise.
Her winning percentage in the last 12 months before the stabbing was only 92.1 %.
Considerably lower than in the prior 12 months.
Magnificent Monica !
I am glad to watch this now in 2023 . It really is great great tennis . Their matches together just made both player even better !
Amazing Close Match with lucky Monica at the end. She was like a ball machine and returned nearly everything. What an Epic Fight of 2 amazing players !
I remember hating Seles's screams but now I miss them....Battles between Seles, Graf, and Sabatini were magic...a gold era
After the 5:6 in the third and the missed opportunities to close the match Monika had the mental strength to play her best tennis. One of the best WTA matches in history!!
SELES LA MAS GRANDE EN DAMAS , SI NO LE HUBIERAN HECHO ESE DAÑO TAN GRANDE ,SEGURO HABRIA LLEGADO A GANAR 25 SLAMS, ERA LA MAS REGULAR DE TODAS
25 no...hice cuentas y por lo que venía ganando
Hubiera ganado 33 grandes
O 34
That was an amazing match.
So sad what happened to Seles...
In my opinion Mônica Seles would have been the best tennis player of all time if she hadn't suffered that attack, I remember some tennis players at the time saying that only a male tennis player could beat Seles the day she played to her full potential, and after she returned to A few blocks after the attack, an average tennis player returned and never even approached what she was before.
So true. We definitely caught glimpses of her former self in her second career, but they were far too seldom. To do as well as she did against the rest of the field operating at 50% of her confidence, fearlessness, and fitness was still quite remarkable. She still pulled off big wins against everyone, and almost always beat players ranked below her.
I guess your forget Monica lost at her peak lost 6 times in 1990, 6 times in 1991 and 5 times in 1992. Where was her dominant season like Graf or Navratilova? That's right, she never had one.
@@karencarpenterfanall these seasons were above 90% and she was 55-1 in slams from 1991 to 1993 and 79-6 overall winning more than half of the slams and more than half of all tournaments she had played in less than 5 full seasons on the tour. She did this on a tour that was the most competitive ever at that point in time. She achieved several feats that others didn’t like 3 French opens in a row, 3 Australian opens in a row with zero loss, 3 YEC in a row (from 4 entered). Looks pretty dominant to me.
@@jujumusique1305 1990-1992 Monica's best year she had 17 losses. Steffi dominant years 1987 - 1989 only 7 losses. Martina dominant years 1982-1984 only 7 losses. Monica is not ahead of Steffi or Martina, sorry.
@@karencarpenterfan losses are not the only factor by which greatness is measured. Monica achieved all of this in less than 5 full seasons on the tour and delivers a series of records I listed that neither of the other two achieved. Seles played for 6 months from the US open 1992 all the way into Hamburg 1993 with only one loss vs 34 wins. It’s not her fault that she was attacked. She was a teenage prodigy whose peak was never reached because of Hamburg 1993.
The most beautiful final ever. Congratulations to both! For me the tennis, that true, stopped in the 90s years.
Gunter, whyyyyy... this would have been such a great rivalry.
Gran Match muy renido, aun ganando Seles, Steffi mostraba un gran dominio, prueba de ello fue la cantidad de partidos ganados en la temporada. Steffi siempre fue mi favorita
Gran dominio perdiendo?😂
Other than grass Steffi had no answer for Monica. If not for the stabbing it would have been Serena chasing Monica's records.
Djokovic to Federer is what Monica Seles would possibly be to Steffi if not for the attack..
You need mental help. Moron of the highest order
@@aranighosh3945 lol
@@aranighosh3945 totally agree ..Monica could not cover the court or stay in long three set matches after the stabbing ..Monica would always play a good first set when she returned in 95 but could not maintain that form and intensity for a full match .. as well what I found interesting is that in rallies , Monica would win the longer rallies but after the stabbing , she had to go for winners way too early in the point because Graf would win thd longer points…2 great champions love the highlights
San Antonio 1991, Steffi won easily in straight sets. Embarrassing for Seles. Just pure domination from Graf. 1991 Hamburg Steffi won again. Seles never won easily over Graf, on any surface. Steffi humiliated Seles on various occasions.
Je crois entre ces deux championnes c'est la faiblesse du revers chez Steffi qui a tjs fait l'avantage de Seles qui est gauchère par dessus le marché..félicitations pour les deux joueuses.
I am so happy Seles defeated the cara de orto Graf
Have you seen your profile picture?
@@karencarpenterfan yes, several times. Al menos no tengo cara de planera kirchnerista como la tuya. Seguí comiendo polenta
End of this match is apparent who the better athlete is. Steffi is hardly breathing and looks like she could play another three sets. Monica's fitness was ALWAYS a big problem for her.
Monica would of dominated women’s tennis till the late 90’s till the Williams sisters came on the scene and Lindsay Davenport got her peak fitness. She would of handled Hingis in 1997. Steffi world of lifted her game as well! I actually think Monica would of won 20 grand slams and steffi would of ended up with 15!!
There head to head would of been pretty even.
Prior to the stabbing there head to head was 6-4 steffi grads way.
After the stabbing it was 4-1 grafs way. But 4 out of the 5 went to 3 sets with graf winning the 3rd set 6-3 or 6-4 with Monica losing the last 3 games as she was 10 to 15 kg heaver then this match.
Tho Monica was still a great player after her come back (ranked in the top 10 from 1995 to 2002) she was not the same physically. Her shot making was still brilliant and her serve was better but her court movement was the slowest out of all the top players.
From 1990 to April 1993 Monica won 32 titles and won 8 grand slams.
From 1995 to 2002 Monica won 21 titles and 1 grand slam and being runner up in 3 others
Monica had no volley no approach shot and a so-so serve oh yeah and didn't like to practice and ate whatever she wanted. She wasn't dominating anything.
@@karencarpenterfan she won 8 out of 9 grand slams prior to her stabbing in 1993 at the age of 19! If that was not dominating then I don’t know what was. But still to come back and be ranked in the top 10 from 1996 to 2002 was still an outstanding achievement. One thing is for sure Monica would have won a lot more then her 9 grand slam titles and steffi would have won less. Monica would have won a minimum 6 more grand slam and steffi would have had 4 less grand slams to her total telly. Also her serve was becoming more of a weapon and actually had a bigger first serve then Steffi at the 1993 AO
@@gopies1456 " Monica would have won a minimum 6 more grand slam and steffi would have had 4 less grand slams to her total telly". YOU DON"T KNOW THAT. Enjoy you fantasy world.
@@gopies1456 6 losses in 1990 6 losses in 1991 5 in 1992. She was winning Grand Slams but somehow couldn't swing four in the same calendar year? Oh yeah, "shin splints" 😆😆
Monica had a problem with food way back in 1991. She didn't have the fitness level or practice drive like Graf. There is NO WAY she was going to keep dominating. From Sports Illustrated 1991: "There she goes again, slathering heaping mounds of butter across her steak, her French fries, her pizza. "Ugh. Gross, totally grody, I know," she says. "But I can't help it. I must be addicted to butter. I just can't eat any food without it. I know it all goes right to fat down there, too [she points below her waist]."
Seles fans would have hard time believing that Graf had 6-4 record before stabbing and 4-1 after stabbing. Their argument was that she was on the rise, but those days female player's game peaked around when they were 19-20 years old. Yes, we were robbed of many more great matches between them but for someone to have won 22 slams in 11-12 years (2 in a year) is unheard of either in ATP or WTA. Serena took twice the time for her 23 slams. Steffi was once in a lifetime player. May be Alcaraz can do better. We shall see. But all this woulda, coulda doesn't matter.
Graf fans can't even comprehend that you can't compare this era to the Williams power tennis era with biceps like men.
@@riveraharper8166 Haha! If Monica had her wheels and confidence against the Williams sisters, we would have seen many more competitive matches going in favor of Monica.
Not really. Everyone knows Graf was the only active player with a leading h2h vs Seles. Graf had a 3-0 lead vs Seles in 1989, so it’s not really a surprise that she would head their h2h by early 1993, given how few matches they played in the meantime. Our point is that Seles was winning the biggest matches (leading Graf 3-1 in slam finals) while dominating the tour. Which explains why she was #1 and Graf wasn’t and needed the help of a criminal to reestablish herself.
You cant watch Monica's matches at a stretch... her grunt literally a pain & gives headache
Graff and her poor backhand...always relying on the slice....that's why she lost.
Great battle.. but horrible how loud Monica grunts here..
Shut up
@@estebantorrez568 Haha.
Two great players but the grunting is horrid.
I on the other hand love the grunting, but to each their own.
Seriously her stupid grunting on every ball makes this damn near unwatchabe
I suppose you believe women should be silent in all arenas. Take your Victorian attitude the FOH.
Seles and Sharapova the most annoying players ever regarding the grunting / screaming
@@ChicanoPhD Not necessarily silent, just not sound like your giving birth every time you strike the ball.
This match is a reference point to understand how good Seles was back then. Her technical skills look so evolved here, like that of a well experienced player. With some more experience, she would have been the best. Ofcourse, the stabbing incident has changed the course of tennis history 🥲
She got dramatically better EVERY year, and we can’t realistically say that about any other player. She was the chosen one to be the best in history.
Steffy la migliore
Seles mental strength was out of this world. And she played definitely better at AUS Open 93. She was on the rise.
Yes, the rise of her butt.
