She's, and always will be, my all time favourite ! The only tornament She didn't, in order to 1988 be absolutely perfection, was the year end finals! But I'm sure by then She was drained, not just phisically but above all mentally👏👏👏
@@MoneyMatter-y2b even without the stabbing Graf won the GOLDEN CALENDAR SLAM before the era of Seles. Something NO ONE, male or female, has done ever since in 33 years of trying. No Federer, no Serena. Plus she was already 186 consecutive weeks at No. 1 before Seles came - even Chris and Martina did not achieve that. So Graf was already a legend before Seles got stabbed, even if she had stayed at 11 GS titles. Otherwise, Bille Jean King or Evonne Goolagog would not count as legends either. I am a fan of both, Stefanie and Monica. We will never know what would have happened. I just believe that the other players would have learned to adopt to Seles' game over time, just like the other players learned to adopt Graf's game( took most of them about 5 years). Or Serena's game. Or Federer's game. Or any dominant player's game. To believe that someone will win and win and win and never lose at slams is building castles out of clouds.
@@MoneyMatter-y2b "crap players"? The players to whom she lost were players to whom Seles has lost as well before the stabbing (Sabatini, Capriati, Sanchez, Navratilova)
The commentators make me laugh: "Steffi doesn't have the right game for grass, it's her worst surface, she won't beat Navratilova, she might have a chance to win 3 grand slams this year etc etc"
Betsy Nagelsen and Tony Trabert (the commentators) look really stupid now. They should have known better. Steffi had a better slice backhand than Navratilova. And, on her forehand side, Steffi never had trouble with low-bouncing balls.
I think that the Australian commentators talked about Graf having a very good chance of winning the grand slam that year, after she won the Australian Open title.
How GORGEOUS Steffi was...with her shiny golden hair, her immaculate white dress, adorned with stars and lightnings...she was as beautiful and elegant as impressive on the court.
@Illya Kuryakin without the stabbing Steffi would have ended with less than 15 GS. Gunter parche helped steffi recover or else Steffi would have gone into oblivion long back. Seles would have whooped Steffis ass everytime
OK with the clobbering she gave Zvereva here I'm gonna make highlights of Zvereva's win against Martina LOL. At least there will be something from Zvereva at the 88 french other than the ripping in the final on youtube then.
Steffi was an absolute killer at the time, Mike Tyson on a tennis court. What a time to be alive. This might as well have been me playing against Steffi Graf. Lol
I remember this match vividly. Chrissie was injured or we may well have seen her in a second consecutive grand slam final versus Steffi. Natasha beat Graf at Wimbledon ten years later; that must have been sweet revenge.
Hardly. Steffi was making her comeback after surgery and wasn't going to win Wimbledon in '98. She could have won it the next year but her back went out again. Soon thereafter, she left tennis for Andre.
@@antinotis I disagree. Steffi could have won Wimbledon in ‘98, because she was an unbelievable athlete who won on many occasions despite injuries - she probably could have won it on one leg. And as for the following year, she won Roland Garros and reached the Wimbledon final which was an incredible achievement given her age and the competition. For me she’s the GOAT. And she retired because she’d achieved everything she’d set out to achieve, not just because of a relationship.
Tom Ogden Thanks. I just don’t think Steffi had the confidence in early 1998. When she beat Lindsay in Philadelphia, it turned around. But she is definitely the GOAT.
@@antinotis Nobody’s remembers Philadelphia 😉 Have you seen Steffi’s Wimbledon 1999 QF vs Venus? I’ve never seen a better Wimbledon women’s match (and I’ve seen a lot!) Truly incredible!
I don't no for sure, But I think this was the fastest GS finals win. Also I personally believe it was the fastest ever match played at RG cause on clay any point is 1,5 time longer than on hard court, and twice longer than grass. If somebody knows the exact stats about the shortest final of any GS?+shortest not even final,but match at RG ever(without taking consideration of injury stopped matches). And overall of any clay WTA tour finals, is this the shortest one? Cause I do believe that on hard and grass such fast finals probably were for sure in WTA circuit in modern era. But clay...hmm.... 🤔 It might be one of the shortest for sure.
Championship points and celebrations were definitely much more calm back then lol. The crowd sounds like she just won a first round match and Steffi is basically like "business as usual" :)
I HAVE never lost that badly.......but then again....i've never played steffi either........honestly, i probably would quit tennis if i ever got beaten that badly.......what did z win here.....like 13 points........i would hide
What the hell happened to Navrat and Evert tossed out early on sheesh no respect. Great to see aussie melb girl Nicole Provis beat Sanchez who beat evert and she almost beat Zereva who by the way had great form thrashing players left and right but just choked on a tennis ball in that final. History there.
Steffi has been a true champion with high class and manners. An icon for eternity. This disrespectful individual named Serena Williams will never achieve that, even if she wins her 24. or 25 GS-title at the age of 40.
GeorgeHenryThomas because many people including you say that she had the outburst at the USO because she was losing and had poor sportsmanship but that’s not true. If she really had bad sportsmanship, in Australia she would be blaming her loss on her ankle and not giving Pliskova credit but that’s not what she did. People love to focus on the bad when it comes to Serena but never on the good.
@@ChristiansCourt Looking for bad behavior from Serena isn't hard, whether on or off court. There's not much there aside from the power. A sharp contrast from Venus- who is way classier.
Has to be THE worst final in Grand Slam history! How about posting the full 1985 Wimbledon Women's Final- I've only been able to find videos with the 1st 2 sets.
@@MoneyMatter-y2b Steffi won more FOs, more Wimbledons, more USOs than Seles. And the same number of AOs. So I have no idea what you are blabbering about.
i don't feel bad for her, you can tell she did NOT try AT ALL! Plus in the pre-interview before the match they asked if she thought she could win, she said "no"
It truly hurts me that Steffi Graf’s daughter does not play tennis. Last I heard her son loves baseball and her daughter loves competitive hip-hop dancing 💃. I can live with her son playing baseball but it is a crime and a total waste of genetics for Graf’s daughter to not play tennis. It hurts I’m very serious.
It is better that the children of such prominent und successful parents do not choose the same profession. 24/7 they would be compared with mother or father... It's very difficult to deal with such a burden.
@Gottdie, yea you’re right I’m just a big Steffi Graf fan and with her 🎾 genetics plus Andre’s it would seem their daughter would be a incredible phenomenon. A true blue tennis savant. You’re right though and I’m wrong .
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 13. She 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’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. Here are some of the major Open Era (not amateur) records in women's tennis and the person who holds the record: Most grand slam titles= Williams Most tournament titles= Navratilova Most titles in a single season= Court Most consecutive singles titles= Navratilova Most titles on hard: Williams Most titles on clay: Evert Most titles on grass: Court Most titles on carpet: Navratilova Highest winning percentage on hard courts= Evert Highest winning percentage on clay= Evert Highest winning percentage on grass= Navratilova Highest winning percentage on carpet= Navratilova Most AO titles= Williams Most FO titles= Evert Most Wimbledon titles= Navratilova Most USO titles= tie Evert & Williams Most consecutive GS titles= Navratilova & Court Most Olympic Gold Singles= (No repeat winners) Graf, Capriati, Davenport, V.

Williams is 40 and is still playing... Steffi retired at 29-30... that means that Williams has played 40(!) more Grand Slams in her career yet she has won just 1 of those 40 that she played... Lol...
@@mauroc4741 Like most Graf fans you are either 1) uninformed, 2) a liar, or 3) both. Serena has entered 78 grand slams. Steffi entered 56. That's 22, not 40. And no, she did not win 1 slam from 30-40 years old. She won 10....by far the most in the history of the game for anyone over 30. Go do the research. And Serena did it all without anyone getting stabbed in the process. Amazing accomplishment. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
@@jm7804 Steffi started playing at 13 or something like that... so she entered many Grand Slams when she was basically a kid... anyhow, 22 more Grand Slams is a huge number... And, what a coincidence that Williams won most of her Grand Slams between 30 and 40... just after Henin, Clijsters, Hingis, Davenport, Capriati, Mauresmo retired, ( and Venus who just became a joke and is almost a semiplayer since 2008 or something).
@@mauroc4741 Again, you are uninformed or lying. Can't decide which. Serena has 23 grand slam titles. 10 of which were earned in her 30s. How is 10 most of 23? That's ridiculous. Like most Graf fans you want to shave off her first years because she was too young, and shave off her later years because she was too old, too injured, too over-taken with grief because of her father, too depressed because of her crazy fans. Whatever. LOL. She had a 17 year professional career. No one forced her to drop out of middle school and turn pro. You own your professional record from the time you hit the first ball, to when you hit the last. Without Parche she has 12-15 GS titles. That's it. Even with Parche she only holds a handful of records. Its shocking how few she actually has.
@@jm7804 Lol... im pretty sure you are either from the US or of african background... those are basically the only people in the world who think that a one dimensional roided screamer ball basher like PED-Rena is greater than Steffi.
Steffi always seemed to be in a hurry… I wonder if she felt sorry for Natalia or if she would have shown more mercy ten years later. I'm just glad Zvereva managed to cope with this defeat. Even the greatest players have terrible defeats to cope and it's a hallmark of a great sportsman that they can manage that and find new self-confidence.

33:17 at championship point steffi lightly brushing her hair like oh I might go shopping after this

Pure destruction. When Graf was hitting drive BHs, you knew she was totatlly confident and in charge
Hilarious how she keeps holding one ball in her hand. Also very interesting how much faster and powerful her FH became over the years
Gabriela Sabatini used to do that in her early days too.
That used to be common for players with one handed backhands.

10 Years later, Zvereva defeated Graf and Seles in Wimbledon.
Natasha and Zina Garrison are the only players to beat both Monica and Steffi at the same tournament.
