PertSnergleman's Review:
-------------------------------------------
Seles, a sweet but a merciless 16 year old, paralyzed Graf with a barrage of winners launched from both sides. Her uncanny ability to take the ball on the rise and her utter fearlessness about connecting with the sidelines allowed Seles to undermine Graf's superior serve and snub her renowned forehand bullets.
Most important, Seles's remarkable refusal to become dismayed when Graf fought her way back from a 3-0 first set deficit to hold 4 set points at 6 points to 2 in the tie breaker proved that the teen-ager had the mettle to match her appetite for this clay-court title.
''It's incredible because this is where it all started for me last year, getting into the semis,'' said Seles, who was beaten then by Graf in three sets. ''But at the age of 15, I couldn't beat her mentally, and physically I wasn't as strong. But today in the final, my strategy was to just play as well as I could, no tactics; just think about it like I was in a match on my home court, and not be afraid of her.''
It was the 32d consecutive singles-match victory for Seles, who last month in Berlin ended a Graf winning streak at 66 matches.
''So far I've only lost two matches against her, so she's not a nightmare yet, and I hope she doesn't become one,'' said Graf, who accepted her defeat with a passivity that verged on resignation.
This was the first time in four years that Graf had lost two tournaments in a row, an unsettling trend for a champion accustomed to collecting trophies. Graf accepted her runner-up platter, wiped away a tear and stepped forward to make her concession speech, just as it began to rain.
Graf said the reasons for her confidence problem were multiple. ''It's everything together,'' she said.
''Today when I was close, I didn't play the right shots, and that's usually something that's very strong about me,'' said Graf, who squandered her fourth and final set point of the first-set tie breaker by double-faulting to 6-6, her only double-fault of the match.
''I just don't feel 100 percent sure of my shots,'' said Graf, for whom conviction in playmaking has always been a trademark.
''If I would have won the first set, I would have won the match, but I didn't,'' said Graf, who squandered two break points with Seles serving at 4-all in the second set. ''She took the risks, had the freshness, and she played with aggressiveness.''
In the end, the match without a doubt belonged to the Yugoslav teen-ager, who broke away from the Bollettieri Tennis Academy in Florida this winter and is now trained solely by her father, Karolj, a former cartoonist, who applied sports science and physics principles to his daughter's training techniques.
Seles had no such difficulties: she knew she simply wanted to hit each ball like an inside-the-park home run.
Although this was her first Grand Slam final, Seles played with a balance of poise and aggression that was markedly absent from her opponent's game.
The ever-effusive Seles said she planned to take advantage of today's accomplishment to talk her parents into letting her apply her $293,000 winner's check toward the car of her dreams, a Lamborghini.
What a way to open your Grand Slam account... Enjoy!

Thank you for uploading this match. I just used to read this in the newspaper in the Philippines during the 90's. 🙏
Such a memorable match!! Great upload, thank you! Spectacular opening games for Monica in making history..
Thank you for this upgraded video version of such a wonderful match. You are an amazing artist and tennis lovers are lucky to have you!!
The first set tie break is insane. I’m not sure anyone else came back from 4 set points down vs Steffi Graf.
Thanks for such a fantastic match at a truly amazing quality level. Love it!
I've seen this match before. This is in good visual quality. Did you put the American broadcast sound with the European broadcast video? Props for that!
Hey, thanks for noticing - you're the first one!!! Well done! :) It took a long time to complete, but I think it cane out OK...
I just watched the whole first set. Wow. Graf held her composure to come back and Seles was down 0-5!!!!! in the TB!!!
Thank you!
You are welcome…
@@PertSnergleman Good day,
thank you very much for such beautiful tennis videos, please don't you also have some famous tennis matches of Jana Novotna or Petr Korda. Thank you very much for your time and I also wish you good health. Best regards Dominik :)
47:01 "Yes!" omg so cute
Love you Seles...thank you for showing the rest of the tour at the time how to do it. Thank you for NEVER fearing her and showing your dominance over her.
❤❤❤
I'm looking for old matches of monica seles between 1989-1993
There are a few matches on RUclips but their quality is very bad.
If you have it, please share it.
Monica Seles was only 16.5 years old(1973 december) when she won the Roland Garros French Open. Graf is 4.5 years older.
Martina Hingis even won 3 slams as a 16-year-old.
@@carrerau7138 Martina Hingis stabbed on the tennis court at age 19? yes no
If your answer is no, our topic is not Hingis.
Dick: graf’s forehand is so unusual
Evert: because she is a great athlete and has great movement
Dick: seles forehand is so unusual
Evert: we’ll she has done it that way all her life. Don’t try it at the club.
1:26:48 awwwwww!
This was the start of Monica dominating Steffi. This continued until early 1993 and then a Steffi fan stabbed Monica and ended her 3 year reign of dominance. In my mind this was the most significant sporting event in the past 50 years. Monica likely would have ended up with 20 or more grand slams without the stabbing.
Seles never dominated Steffi, stop lying.
Steffi would win 3 of the next 5 matches before the stabbing. 2 wins were routs, the 2 losses nail-biters.
@@carrerau7138 You are delusional. Seles convincingly took 1st position in the rating list and beat Graf in all Grand Slam finals on Clay/Hard. By the way, at that time I sympathized with Graf. She was so desperate when deprived of her crown and tried to return everything on its places, but in vain. With Seles in the circuit Graf would continue winning Wimbledons, but would remain #2 behind Seles ( at least for a couple of seasons).
@@vladislavkucher2718 в личных встречах Селеш никогда не доминировала над Граф. Уровень Граф во время подъема Селеш сильно снизился, она много проигрывала и другим теннисисткам. Но с 1992 года началось постепенное возрождение Штеффи под руководством Гюнтхарда.
Do you have any Hingis matches? Would love to watch some!
Was movement always a problem for Seles or it became a problem in later stages?
Only in her second career was her movement a liability. As you can see here, she had excellent footwork and retrieval skills before the stabbing event.
Steffi threw that match away.
A mental basket case after those revelations at the beginning of the nasty Graf Blackmail Scandal.
Steffi herself said that she lost those two matches in Berlin and here at the FO not against Seles but against the German tabloids.
Excuses, excuses. Typical loser.
@@ChicanoPhD That coming from a Selestial nutter is actually funny.
Stop making excuses for Steffi everyone has personal problems. Graf lost to the underdog a 16 year old girl! Monica Seles is still the youngest French Open champion in tennis history.
@@JordanjamesX Tell that to all those Selestial nutters who claim that a minor stab would prevented Seles from winning 20plus slams....
😆
@@ChicanoPhD Excuses up to a certain point. After a rough start Graf steadied the ship. She lost a tie break she should have won (up 5-0 and 6-2) and even in the second set she had more chances (1/5 on BPs, while Seles was 2/2). So, yes, she kinda threw it away. Ironically, I think Seles's 10-8 in the 3rd win in 1992 was way more convincing than this one.
Monica is the queen ❤
If Monica Sales used to stay healthy then Steffi Graf used to get hardly 7/8 Grand slams
Monica was Graf's "Angstgegner" and that frustrated many Germans which led to the stabbing by a Steffi fan maniac.
Monica Forever
what a brat Graf is, challenging every line call that doesn't go her way. Glad she lost!!!
You challenge very few lines calls😅
Bro u comment so much chill 😂
I can't stand Graf.
I heard she doesn’t like you either 😛
This German 'champion' would not become one if not for her crazy, disturbed German 'fan' who stabbed Seles.
If if if move on buddy
Yeaah..precisely👍
