Steffi was so amazing. The greatest player of all time. My favorite player of all time and idol
Graf footwork is amazing
I love Kimiko Date! Compared to many other players, you were kind of petit, but so powerful, and have been able to beat them!
And you've played tennis professionally until the age of 46. What an amazing player!
Steffi was so much fun to watch --- that body, the forehand, the footwork, the shotmaking.
She is an amazing athlete ..........She worked hard kept her self in amazing shape even thru injuries one just has to admire her love and passion for her sport .
yeah... and you forgot about handshakes aftrr defeats.... so "classy"...
@@theovanroost7825 If they were to make a poll about the classiest of all the all-time greats - who would win that?
Exactly, Steffi Graf in a landslide.
When she retired almost all newspaper/magazine articles mentioned her class.
I doubt that was the case when your faves retired…. 😂
I don't think so... her "generosity" and "class" are overrated. She was cold bitch. @@carrerau7138
@@theovanroost7825 I don't think there ever was a top female player who was more warm-hearted than Steffi Graf. Only Kim Clijsters and Gaby Sabatini came close.
This is truly a golden era
What a class of players
No screaming no double hand
Truly tennis those days was a gentleman's game
How GORGEOUS Steffi was (and still is !)
@@Vipa567 how old are you, to make such a childish comment ?
It seems that comment was deleted, I said she had a big nose. I don't think it's anymore childish than writing someone is GORGEOUS in all caps is.
@@Vipa567 writing someone is gorgeous is loving and positive. Criticizing the figure of a person is negative and evil.
@@McClernand4 Regardless, if criticizing someone's face is considered childish then is praising someone's face.
@@Vipa567 are you not a Seles fan ?....
Thank you oztennis for these fine videos. I'm Kimiko's fan. It's great that new generations can enjoy these great players.
Steffi was genius. She was so fast on court that was unimaginable.kimiko earned points from faults steffi made.
Massive perfectionist that Steffi was, she described this match as "only a medium performance"
I don’t believe that. On German TV she called her match “almost perfect“.
@@carrerau7138What you believe is irrelevant. Reality is what counts. She may have described the final against Arantxa as almost perfect, but most certainly not this match. She was quoted in the LA times as saying after this match "I think it was a match we both didn’t have a lot of rhythm".
@@th8257 I confused it with the final; this is the Date semi final. And there Steffi was of course right with the description "medium".
この時のベスト4がグラフ、サバティーニ、サンチェスと伊達って
これだけで凄い事ですよ
正しいです。

Thank you for these great matches. I have some Steffi matches you might like from the Australian Open on my channel.
Thanks for the message, you have some great matches there! I have some other matches too but will try to make sure anything I put up isn't already uploaded
Cool! Look forward to them.

Steffi = beauty in person.
you made my day! so funny :D
Graf es preciosa en persona y en tv
@@theovanroost7825 are you a "Seleslamist" ???
@@theovanroost7825 and you know which difference there is between you and a shit bucket ? - Just the bucket...
@@McClernand4Perfect analysis!
If you guys want to see something amazing, watch "Sabine Lisicki vs Kimiko Date-Krumm Stanford 2015 Highlights". I've never seen an underdog victory like that in my life.
Did Sabine win that one???
@@carrerau7138 I won't spoil it, you have to watch it :)
Ay Steffi esa pollerita mi amoooor!!!
kimiko hit it so FLAT
Kimiko's forehand motion reminds me of Pam Shriver's except Pam's forehand is a slice.
Hi Stu,
Kimiko always had an 'awkward' looking technique on her forehand because she was naturally born left handed and 'encouraged' to play right-handed in Japan due to 'Cultural' considerations which perhaps impacted her natural talent and potential success, in the sport.
In 2022, let's hope that particular mentality has changed, in the the land of the rising Sun...
伊達さんのテニスやっぱりすげー。。30:00とか。
Damn, she was top 5 in the world but still her family wasn't proud of her? That's fucked up.
yes yes...always special to see Steffi graf on the court, what a wonderful athlete,, so confused with women tennis now days, last time i saw a beauty in tennis is in Kim Clijsters and Justine Henin, so sad they retired too fast so today we see tennis with : full of screaming, drama, steroid,big racquet, elevationf 2 handed backand with more power and totally boring,and of course, less talent.
DATE yang (^o^)🎶
37:33 ２ndサービスに対する伊達のリターンの位置がかなり攻め過ぎ！！ すご。。。
🥵 🎾 I'm cold 🥶
焦って打ち急いだり、スライスが思った以上に滑ってきて食い込まれたりして伊達のミスが多い。力負けしないようにしっかり打っていってるから余計にそう感じる。ベスト4までの連戦疲れもあってか、膝が充分に使えなかったのが痛い。甘いコースに打つと途端に強打がくるのを警戒してるんだろうが、体力さえあればじっくり打ち合って勝利の糸筋が見えたんじゃなかろうか。しかし、それだけ追い込まれるほどグラフが別格だったんだろうな。
グラフと初のGS準決勝の雰囲気に対応するのは大変だったと思う。
Backhand half volley winner from the back by Steffi at 24:48!
The stupid suspicious tradition cost an possibly great player's what could've achieved...
She was left handed but stupid Japanese tradition believed it's bad luck to use their left hand(for f**k know what reasons) so force her to play with right hand.
She is amazing player, God knows what she could've achieved if they just let her be.
She is Asia first world top four player, and now over 45 still kicking!!
96 Wimbledon SF, I believed if they let the match carry on, she would've won against Graf!!
Love you DA'TE!!
@Illya Kuryakin Its foolish because it has No value at all.
Well, I can't find that match: what happened that "they" didn't let the match play out?
@@markuse3472 rain delay...
like Rafael Nadal - a natural righty turned lefty just for tennis! ;-)
I guess we'll never know. There have been a few players like that. Maria sharapova for example is naturally left handed but plays right handed, because a coach advised her she could use her strong right hand to get a better two handed backhand. So, it may possibly be that it worked out better for Date.

Such a dark couple of years on the tour without Monica
saying that, you insult Jana Novotna, who played an amazing final against Steffi in 1993 (uncomparably better than Monica in 1992). You also insult Arantxa, who won both GS in 1994 (the FO and the USO) and played a great final against Steffi by the 95 Wim final. You insult Conchita Martinez, who achieved an amazing victory at Wimbnledon in 1994, defeating Navratilova. And you insult Mary Pierce, who completed a great 94 AO.
@@McClernand4 I know they were all great but apart from Wimbledon, I believe Seles would have won most of the slams which you mentioned.
@@paulluk7515 Well, it's your right to think so. I respect your opinion. Especially if you express it so politely.
@@paulluk7515How would Seles have beaten Steffi at the USO?
Would Steffi have made 66 unforced errors again in a FO final?
@@McClernand4I don‘t respect idiotic opinions.
Too many UEs in this boring match!
Steffi herself said she was unhappy with this match afterwards. She described it as a "medium performance"
So what the ..... are you doing here? Go away then.

Q
I consider Serena Williams the GOAT. But Steffi does have one stat that is quite impressive. She's won each grand slam at least 4 times. That's crazy. (but who knows - if Monica had not been stabbed everything would have been different)
@@wendellroden7037 Graf has 4 singles career slams, with one being golden. Not a small accomplishment. Serena has 3 singles career slams, with one being golden... plus 2 golden career slams in doubles. She is the only man or woman in the history of the game to have that distinction. I doubt very much that record will ever be broken.
@@wendellroden7037 Actually, Djokovic is the GOAT LOL
DJOKOVIC is the GOAT
If Seles was there she would get the title. Lucky Graf! You should thank to HIM very much and the court of Germany
Seles was lucky that she didn't show up at the AO 94, you silly clown. Steffi would have demolished her.
You want evidence?
In early 93 Steffi had these major results:
AO semis: 75 64 win against Sanchez (13-9 games)
AO final: 64 36 26 loss to Seles (11-16 games)
Tokyo final (one week later): 64 36 36 loss to Navratilova (12-16 games)
But in early 94 Steffi had these:
AO final: 60 62 win against Sanchez (12-2 games)
Tokyo final: 62 64 win against Navratilova (12-6 games)
Even my 4-ear-old daughter could conclude how a Seles rematch at the AO 94 would have looked like. An easy win for Steffi - 63 64 for instance (12-7 games).
You maroon know that of course.
But still want to troll other tennis fans with your hate.
Despicable.
Lucky is not the last word. 1988 says it all..
@@rakeshsaha566 yeah it was 1990 since graf won the aussie open, four years wow , why was that? Monica seles who either beat graf or took out the players that beat graf ... same with the french open and us open.. graf won those slams for the first time in four years as well since seles was out.. the evidence is clear :()
nobody cares little serbian nazi
