As much as other factors, Graf knew that the days when she could hang out in the backhand wing all day and hit inside out forehands on everything were coming to an end. With Lindsay, Serena/ Venus, Kim C., and other players coming along who would not let her get away with that strategy anymore, it was time to retire. It would have only got harder as the other players got better.
She won the French Open a few weeks prior. There was no way Lindsay would have lost this match. Her serve was rock solid she forced Graf to hit a lot of forehand errors.
Thank you so much for this. I've always wanted to see the BBC version
Me too
THANK YOU SO MUCH
I love this telecast better than NBC’s. Martina’s commentary was short and sweet.

Yup! Especially the new breed of power players have excellent double backhand down the line shots.
Such a shame Graf didn't win this match!

Martina in the commentary booth. Excellent
Serena said ' no one hits the ball harder that Lindsey'.
Thanks for uploading the full match :)
Steffi had it here on way till the big hitter ( Davenport, Serena, etc) came in.
