Chris played great ! She moved like a cat ! Always right where she needed to be . A great experience for Monica . I know she took a lot from this match and appreciated playing her number one favorite ! Not her last , but what a way to go ... healthy , beautiful , gracious and almost unbeatable ! ❤
This again proves that Chris is the goat,her performance on this day was beyond brilliant,Zina Garrison was right when she said that she is such a lady on court,class is something not taught.Has there ever been a more luxuriously classy player than Chris.Each stroke,movement and placement is exquisite.
7:23 That shot is the kind of thing that makes some players so hard to beat. Evert takes a punishing backhand and just floats it back deep and to the centre. Basically she hits the reset button and Seles has to start again. That kind of thing wears you down mentally.
Lots of people have been asking why Seles moonballed so much here. As a background to this match it was a deliberate tactic on Monica's part. Chris had said some time before that she "no longer had the patience to trade moonballs with kids half her age". Monica had played Chris earlier in the year and started off playing her normal aggressive game. Evert loved the pace and won the first set. Monica then started moonballing in that match, and slowly, Chris's game started to fall apart. Monica ground her down and won the match. Seles was trying to do the same thing here, but Chris was on fire this day though and was ready for Monica's tactics.
@@valentinodelpiero4861 hi Valentino, so the theory is since clay courts are slower and bounce higher the moon balls would push the players back and put them in a more defensive position. When I play on clay courts I always try the moonball. My opponents hated it hate it hate it!!! LOL
It was vintage Chris Evert here🎱in Houston Chris was not worn down by Monica .when Monica started taking pace off the. Ball like Zina did after this match Chris had to create points instead of simply replying to an aggressive play . To do that it takes eagerness . Chris became uninterested Having played almost 1300 matches and just wanted off the court . It no longer was fun driving the ball - the desire wasn’t there. Here Chris is playing her last open - in 1071 Chris played her first slam - open te sad Ching semis at 16 . Down 6 Match points in the second round she won only he match . The eagerness was there just like here . She didn’t want to lose to a 15 yr old .She didn’t want a 71 Evert to beat her before the semis . Out of 19 opens she failed to reach th semis -87,88, 89 losing in QF. Her pride was challenged and here you have 34 yr old Evert playing one of the top 3 matches of her career my opinion . 95 French vs Martina , every def Austin in 80 open and this match .
the thing that set Chris apart from MOST tennis players was her "readiness"...she had a response for ANYTHING that you attempted to do to her. And that started with two very simple strokes with very simple production...eastern grip on the forehand, so that she didnt have to exaggerate her grips, midswing to adjust to whatever spin or velocity was coming at her. And a backhand, that goes down in sports history, as a stroke that was her signature...but again, it was a very simple swing off the backhand side that kept her relevant for so long. There was on hitch...no wiggling....no big loops or "tics". Simplicity was Christ Evert's calling card.
Really, this was a product of learning your junior tennis in the Florida Keys with a small face wood racket. Those infamous gusts of wind could blow a softly struck ball wildly off target, and if you did not have superb footwork, balanced positioning and early racket preparation and keen concentration, the ball would never hit the small sweet spot those rackets provided. Evert's game and simple stroke production was built on not permitting the conditions to conspire with complicated stroke production to create unforced errors.
The commentator at 4:05 minutes in, not sure which side is Seles's forehand 😑😆. Good lord, Newcombe and Stolle were horrible commentators. Thanks for all these uploads, @PertSnergleman. They are great to watch during covid-19 quarantine.
One of the very top 5 performances by Chris Evert and she pulled this off being her last professional tournament singles match that Chris won. This is evidence that Chris had on and off days now being 34. Losing to Zina just showed Chrissie’s point in that she could no longer depend on playing her near best day to day. Chris always had best sense of timing.
Chris later mused it was matches like the Garrison loss why she decided to retire. She cannot accept the ups and downs of match wins and losses, esp when she cannot concentrate and focus playing less than 100%. When you win consistently and unexpectedly lose certain matches, you know it's time.
the tennis world and Monica of course lost a magnificent player when the attack happened. There could have been so many more unbelievable matches. So sad.
I was very surprised that she lost to Garrison in the next round it would’ve been a perfect way to end her career to battle with Martina in the semi finals
Hammerton32 Chris just didn’t play well in that match she was more than used to handling them serve and volley player. She was just done mentally more than anything.
As Chris said at the time, when you get older you become much more inconsistent. You can play a match like this one against Monica and then come out the next day and play a match like she did against Zina. I think it explains some of Federer's surprise loses too.
Chris later mused it was matches like the Garrison loss why she decided to retire. She cannot accept the ups and downs of match wins and losses, esp when she cannot concentrate and focus playing less than 100%. When you win consistently and unexpectedly lose certain matches, you know it's time.
The timing was right for a major change/evolution in women's tennis. Gone with the LONG rallies and no power... and to this day, there's shorter rallies and more power. Seles inspired so many of the best players after her... Evert inspired Austin.
I'm sorry but Monica looks WAY off in this match, not to take anything away from the legendary Evert (who played much better than in their previous meeting on clay, in Houston). Monica just looks out of sorts, missing some of her shots by several feet, hitting some easy balls into the net, being too passive and tentative.
Part of her problem was that she didn't read Chris' shots very well in this match in my opinion. Because Monica isn't a great mover, she really depends on her anticipation and her ability to see the ball very early. That part of her game wasn't really on in this match.
Indeed Charles H. Chris Evert by far a legend but I don't understand the passive game of Monica in this particular match. Is like a gift for Evert ...some missing points from monica make me feel like she was ceding the game to chris maybe for retiring

Chris played an incredible match, but people don't want to bring up the fact Monica tanked this match. Monica was only 15 here, I'm sure her father and her discussed the possibility of tanking this match so Chris can get the proper send off she deserves. No one expected Chris to lose to Zina in the next round.
So when Chris played a great drop shot one of the commentators said, "That's a shot she didn't have in her arsenal when she started out". Mary Ann Eisel would attest otherwise
I don't think Newcombe knew anything about the women's game. I remember him commentating when Evert was playing Eliana Rhienach and Newcombe was clueless.
I've never seen any player mop the floor with Seles like that. Evert played almost perfect mistake free tennis. Monica was just not on her game here at all.
No…her game was like on level 2 out or 10. Even by her 1989 standards. There is no reason why she shouldn’t have beaten Chris on this day. She must have been too nervous given that it could have been Chrissy’s last match and all.
At this point Chris could’ve been a wreck and lost her nerve in this match but against her nature she played aggressive baseline play the entire match. Her loss to Zina was due to Zina playing Chris completely differently, giving her no pace and Chris had spent her nervous energy against Seles which is why she retired, she could no longer recharge her battery as she could when she was younger. Plus Chris felt no competitive anger in losing to Zina , Chris could not be ok losing to Seles . At this match start they were 1-1 in match record and did. Not want a losing record against Seles.
well said, i think if evert had played garrison a round later after the seles match or vice versa seles a round earlier with a match later before/ in between the garrison match, chris would have been "recharged" and able to beat zina.... zina played her correctly, but it was OBVIOUS why evert needed to retire in this garrison match..... up 5-2 in the 1st set and then wins only 3 more games the rest of the way... disappointing since evert had whipped garrison at the lipton on the same surface just a few months earlier....and of course evert at her best was clearly above garrison at her best..
@@joerg677 Not on faster courts. Navratilova was the heavy favorite, especialy against a very old Evert. Chris had not beaten Martina at Wimbledon or the U.S Open since way back in 1980. Maybe on slow to medium hard court or clay it was 50/50. And even if Chris somehow beat Martina her chances against Graf in the final were basically nothing at all. As I am sure you know Chris last beat Graf in early 86 when Chris was still in her prime and Graf was only 16. She had lost their last 7 matches, winning only 1 set. In the big picture at age 34 she had no shot of winning the whole tournament by beating baby Seles, Garrison, Navratilova, Graf all in a row. That has to sap some of her enthusiasm knowing that deep down, and probably why she didnt fight as hard as she could against Garrison when things started going off. Especialy as Garrison wasnt a pride match like baby Seles or Navratilova would have been, nobody really cared if she lost to Zina.
I don't understand this match. Chris Evert is playing very well. Very good defense. But Monica ? So much faults, not really agressive, not determined... Weird.
basically outsmarts and de-constructs seles game...and remember this is a evert well past her prime and more importantly learned the game and played MOST of her career with a wood racket! the stroke production and mindset she had to change at 30 with a change of racquets and the evolving game to be competitive is something that evert does NOT get credit for!....
Jess4metoo which shows that Seles more than earned her way to play and believe she had a chance to beat Evert. But this was vintage Chris Evert in a major. Chris like BJK did not want to go out to a 15 yr old. The better player in general at this phase of Monica’s career won.. Seles would win the Open in two years. Evert here perhaps is th only baseline player to be able to beat Monica with her game here. This takes absolutely nothing away from Monica. Chris was able to show all of us just one more time her greatness. This is the top third match of everts play in the 80’s . The first two were French 85& 86 French finals. Chris paid tribute to Monica’s talent by playing her best to beat her. She knew she had to play as well. In a baseline game by both players the one who wins majority of the rallies can win with a lopsided score. Chris never once relaxed because she respected Seles ‘s talent. One letdown and Seles could suddenly start winning 70 percent of the points.
even d commentator said Monica really accept her lost wth respect to Christ n smiling face while shaking hand wth her wth d empire n she faced d one sided crowd really well...it's very immoral to comment badly more on players personal/physical attributes☺☺
Absurd and ridiculous. The fun and joy of a working brain is to analyze and comment on everything. That's what the Ancient Greeks practiced and taught us.
@Les Moore Spoken like the true Neanderthal you are. Is your blatant stupidity genetic ( lucky us, there are more of your morons) or is it a brain injury caused when you fell down the stairs trying to pick up your required reading to get through your 8th year of high school? You dropped your books trying to grope yet another one who thought " jeez, what a moronic, disgusting loser"
Chris played an incredible match, but why won't people accept the fact Monica tanked this match bc she didn't want to be remembered as the player to beat Chris Evert at her last U.S. Open ?
We don't accept the 'fact' she tanked for the reason you claim, because there is zero evidence for it and you haven't supplied any in your post. There is evidence that Monica played worse than she did in Houston, but this is a 15 year old girl who has plenty of other reasons to play worse here than in Houston, just as Evert had plenty of reasons to play better. How about you explore those other reasons ( I know you are smart enough to collect several on your own) rather than the one reason you could find, that insults or taints them both as professionals.
what the heck is newcombe talking about that evert didn't have a drop shot when she first started out on the circuit as a 16 year old? HUH? evert always had the drop shot and the lob expertise and used them her entire career and as it turns out is most likely the best drop shot and lob stroke production player of all time!...oh and chrissie at 16 lost to BJK 3 and 2 NOT 3 and 1... must be nice to be former tennis pros and become commentators and NOT know tennis history!....
Newcombe-famous for his moustache, serve, and forehand-horrible commentator. I remember listening to his commentating during an early Evert match and he sounded clueless. Love Stolle, but he was MJ Fernandez's coach, and I think he let that shade his commentary against Evert at times.
@@jpeyton88 then and now former players deemed tennis experts and historians and voila! now qualified commentators!.., pretty much any former player is "allowed" and hired to be a tennis commentator if they want to be! tennis is EXTREMELY nepotism and who you know for jobs outside and after the player's playing days...
Grunts, moonballs and biased commentary...glaringly obvious that Newcombe and Stolle were jealous of a champion who played at a higher level for waaaay longer than they did....and has waaaay more titles to back it up - and she's a waaaay better commentator!
exactly.. for whatever reason, not just this match but other matches stolle has commentated on with evert, he is disparaging of her, and newcombe reeks of sexist, male chauvinismand misogyny when he describes ANY of the women playing at that time during his commentary. why and what qualifications besides former players did newcome or stolle have to commentate anyway?
@@tomschmitz5745 Stolle, Mary Joe's Fernadez's coach, was never too complimentary of Evert's play. I remember an early match where he thought Fernandez was ready to beat Evert-never happened.
@@lenwelch2195 Chris was boring and predictable. Before Martina brought athleticism into the sport, which was then continued by Graf and all the young players, women's tennis was just horrible.
o my.... you have no idea how magnificent Evert was. When you were up 6.0 and 5.0 you were never sure you were winning. And you have nog idea... How sad.
@@xidiamond6851 yes because evert was retiring. Evert is American and this is the US Open and Seles a foreigner was smart enough or her dad at least to know not to beat Evert at the open, her last tournament. You can tell Seles was holding back, like a lot. Seles could easily have overpowered Evert and won easily. It's unfortunate Seles has so much class and respect for evert and evert over all treated Seles like crap. Even as a commentator evert never spoke highly of Seles. Good example just watch the Wimbledon 92 semis between Seles and Navratilova
That is the most idiotic comment I've ever read. Seles had absolutely no chance here. Evert just played too good. She don't gave her the possibility to "overpower" her at all. Everyone who knows a bit about tennis can see this easily.
The way Chris follows through on her backhands is stunning....
Chris played great !
She moved like a cat !
Always right where she needed to be . A great experience for Monica .
I know she took a lot from this match and appreciated playing her number one favorite !
Not her last , but what a way to go ... healthy , beautiful , gracious and almost unbeatable ! ❤

Evert has been quietly anti-Trump the last four or so years. I don't think they are really friends at all.
Gross.

Haha
what the heck is newcombe talking about that evert didn't have a drop shot when she first started out on the circuit as a 16 year old? HUH? evert always had the drop shot and the lob expertise and used them her entire career and as it turns out is most likely the best drop shot and lob stroke production player of all time!...oh and chrissie at 16 lost to BJK 3 and 2 NOT 3 and 1... must be nice to be former tennis pros and become commentators and NOT know tennis history!....
Newcombe-famous for his moustache, serve, and forehand-horrible commentator. I remember listening to his commentating during an early Evert match and he sounded clueless. Love Stolle, but he was MJ Fernandez's coach, and I think he let that shade his commentary against Evert at times.
@@jpeyton88 then and now former players deemed tennis experts and historians and voila! now qualified commentators!.., pretty much any former player is "allowed" and hired to be a tennis commentator if they want to be! tennis is EXTREMELY nepotism and who you know for jobs outside and after the player's playing days...
Seles: z-z-z-z-z-z-z I suppose she has some kind of net allergy... get it? see what I did there?
worst commentating ever good match though.
Seles very bad
Grunts, moonballs and biased commentary...glaringly obvious that Newcombe and Stolle were jealous of a champion who played at a higher level for waaaay longer than they did....and has waaaay more titles to back it up - and she's a waaaay better commentator!
exactly.. for whatever reason, not just this match but other matches stolle has commentated on with evert, he is disparaging of her, and newcombe reeks of sexist, male chauvinismand misogyny when he describes ANY of the women playing at that time during his commentary. why and what qualifications besides former players did newcome or stolle have to commentate anyway?
@@tomschmitz5745 Stolle, Mary Joe's Fernadez's coach, was never too complimentary of Evert's play. I remember an early match where he thought Fernandez was ready to beat Evert-never happened.
no..." chris has not faltered all day".... they are praising her
What a horrible match. Seles obviously lost on purpose to not be the one to end the era of housewife tennis.
Get off this site if your going to use such an anti woman comment. Chris was an all time great . Seles doesn’t even rank in the top ten of all woman.
@@lenwelch2195 Chris was boring and predictable. Before Martina brought athleticism into the sport, which was then continued by Graf and all the young players, women's tennis was just horrible.
o my.... you have no idea how magnificent Evert was. When you were up 6.0 and 5.0 you were never sure you were winning. And you have nog idea... How sad.
@@normadesmond6017 Sad are people who still cling to pre-athletic tennis after all these years.
If you didn't see excellent tennis then you don't know tennis !
Chris Evert, u do realize Monica let u win..right.
For what purpose? Because she was retiring? Either way the match before this was a tough 3 setter that could have gone either way
@@xidiamond6851 yes because evert was retiring. Evert is American and this is the US Open and Seles a foreigner was smart enough or her dad at least to know not to beat Evert at the open, her last tournament. You can tell Seles was holding back, like a lot. Seles could easily have overpowered Evert and won easily. It's unfortunate Seles has so much class and respect for evert and evert over all treated Seles like crap. Even as a commentator evert never spoke highly of Seles. Good example just watch the Wimbledon 92 semis between Seles and Navratilova
That is the most idiotic comment I've ever read. Seles had absolutely no chance here. Evert just played too good. She don't gave her the possibility to "overpower" her at all. Everyone who knows a bit about tennis can see this easily.
Bullshit
Idiotic comment.
Chris had the most boring game ..... very Borg like. You can see Graf copied her serve form though
vivahernando1
Graf copied Evert’s serve form? How so? I don’t really see the similarity. Graf’s serving style seemed more unique to me.
Graf's serve was absolutely nothing like Evert's....
I agree , Graf had a super high ball toss, had to wait for the ball to come back down and then jumped into the air to hit it. Nothing like Evert.
Graf copied Evert's serve form? That's one of the dumbest comments I've ever seen. Their serves are absolutely nothing alike.
evert's game was ANYTHING but boring...
