There was so much attention on Steffi for this match. It was her first after the 6-0, 6-2 loss to Arantxa at the French Open and everyone was wandering just what state Steffi's game would be in.
She was actually right handed. She told the story of how when she was first learning tennis as a child, her coach divided the group into right handers and left handers. She didn't want to be separated from her friend who was a left handed, so learned to play that way. One of several players over the years like that.

Beautiful footwork and speed
Steffi’s early round practice matches.
Appelmans put up a good fight despite the scoreline. She also had a very good career reaching #16 in the world with a win over Steffi in the late 90s.
@stacked7476 Rusty or not, it was a win.
@stacked7476 LOL far cry from #16 in the world with wins over several grand slam champions. You seem rather defensive. It ain't that deep.
