Steffi Graf's winners during her match vs Gabriela Sabatini at W92 semis. They played many wonderful, exciting matches throughout their career. In fact Sabatini is the player who beat Steffi the most times (29-11 for Steffi in the H2H). Steffi was so alert in this one, though, dictating play right from the start.

    Nice to see Graf and Sukova being friendly with each other at the end of this match....I always got the impression they didn't seem to like each other....but maybe I was wrong. Actually, I remember after the 1991 final of the same tournament Steffi was joking around with Monica. Of course Steffi winning that match was probably a big factor in her post-match demeanor....

    I’ve read that just before this match started one thing that irritated Zina is that Steffi practiced her return of serve off of Zinas arctic earth serves. That is considered rude . It disrupts the player from serving more serves in that small window f time. Players Ike that their first few serves without fu overtook warm up the arm and shoulder. Having bet wait that extra few seconds t returned all can disrupt that warm up. Zina took her time I removing her jacket . Steffi will rush you and Zina was advised to move at her pace when serving , The rule of tennis is for the receiver to move at the pace of the server.

    Graf is not the GOAT. In fact, it’s shocking how few records in the WTA world record book that she actually holds. Graf has the golden grand slam and most weeks at number one, but that’s about it. She has a shocking amount of losing head-to-head records at 9. Evert, by comparison has a losing record against 3 players, which includes her amateur years. Graf has a winning record against 3 of the all-time top 10 players. Evert holds the record with winning H2Hs against 4 of the all-time top ten. Graf does not have the most titles at the Austrian, French, Wimbledon, or the US Open. Those records belong to Williams, Evert, and Navratilova. She does not have the most GS titles on the various surfaces.. hardcourts, clay, or grass. Those records again belong to Williams, Evert, and Navratilova. She does not have the highest career winning percentage on hard, clay, grass, or carpet. Those records belong to Evert, Evert, Navratilova, and Navratilova. She’s not the best at any grand slam or on any surface. She doesn’t have the highest winning percentage all time or at the grand slams...those records belong to Court. So how again is she the GOAT? She isn’t. It’s pretty simple.

    One of Steffi's best matches against Gabriela. I remember it very well. From the very first moments when I saw her hitting her forehand and hitting top spin backhands, I thought she was having a great day. If Steffi had been able to develop an even stronger serve and use her top spin backhand more often down the line, very few players would have beaten her.

    • @emmanuelcannou2433
      @emmanuelcannou2433 3 года назад

      @Max E Oh I think Steffi had one of the best serves of her generation. Monica between the end of '92 and '93 had developed a very accurate and powerful serve that was really strong between '98 and 2000. Jennifer Capriati between 92 and 93 had a very good serve. I was comparing Steffi's serve with Lindsay's or the Williams sisters. In 98, 99, they had a power and precision that I never saw before.

    • @fong03
      @fong03 2 года назад

      Very few players did beat her. Steffi's serve was one of the best on tour. Her serve was never a weak point. Comparing her serve to players that came after her or right when she retired isn't really fruitful. Let's also not forget that Graf had wins against all of the players you listed in '99 just before she retired. As for her backhand, I will agree only to an extent. People often incorrectly cite it as a weakness or overstate the importance of a need for using the topspin backhand more. In this generation, yes she would need to come over it more, especially on the return. The occasional topspin backhand DTL would be useful to keep her opponents off balance, but do not underestimate the strength of her slice. As Navratilova said, Graf's biggest strength on grass was her slice. Seles also said that it was a strength.

    I think the weather conditions made a difference in this match. Here, the court is dry and firm and playing more like a fast hardcourt. In their semi final in 1990, it was cold and damp, allowing Zina to keep the ball low and take all the pace off in the slow conditions. Steffi was vulnerable to attacking players sometimes on cold, damp grass. She lost to McNeil in exactly those conditions in 1994 too.
