- Steffi Graf, Composure & Humor under Pressure. As champions go, Steffi was perhaps one of the most graceful and honorable under pressure. She seldom challenged calls. If she did, her complaints went no further than asking the umpire, Are you sure? Then, she would stare, nod, take a towel, and resume play. One broadcaster once opined that her reluctance to question calls and her ability to accept bad calls were the signs of a very a strict upbringing. Perhaps, he was right. We'll never know. Whatever the case, it is a testament to her brilliant character that she never let a bad call get in the way of winning or losing gracefully. WTA Championships 1998

How Steffi moves around the court is just classic.
She's an amazing player with such grace.
They were both amazing players and both WONDERFUL people. They were both incredibly graceful winners and losers. Miss them both. The immovable object vs. the irresistible force.
That's why these two are still the toughest titans to walk on a court. They didn't let themselves lose focus on a bad call. They'd suck it up and get on to crushing their opponent on the next point. Both were SO amazing!!
Ahhhh! this is when i used to watch tennis.....
Steffi was the finest wine of women tennis.
Monica Seles - one of the early screamers.
Graff had one of the most vicious forehands in tennis.
in wta she had the best forehand in history
So i got my name from her 😝
Great Steffi Graf , the best of all times .
silviaartepasion I totally agree.
+Gino D ye serena can literally fuck off
I think a lot of Steffi's reluctance to make a big deal about line calls came from her impatience just to get on with the next point.
STEFFI MOVES LIKE FEDERER just EleganT
retour sur une époque de la wta ou les gradins étaient remplis ! sans doute le plus beau duel du tennis féminin
steffi graf= classy player
Love Steffi
THE GREATEST
Just imagine how good Monica would have been if she was truly fit. Would dominate against everyone IMO.
Steffi really had great maners.
Was this before or after Monica got stabbed? I know she made one come back but then went into a bad depression. I love Steffi though.
ah ah. she invented something.
Why the WTA make the awful decision of stop holding their year end championship at Madison Square Garden? They followed the money trail to the Middle East and left the biggest spotlight possible for the women tour.
Seles movement was just terrible. She wasn't fit enough to challenge Steffi. She could do wonders when she reached the ball with time, but her poor movement didn't allow her time to get into position and hit those awesome groundies.
did steffi win the match eventually?
yes😃
the difference between graf and serena williams is CLASS!!!!!! graf apparently embodies it, whereas, williams certainly doesnt have it
@Ineddiblehulk I don't miss Seles at all. Her screaming was intolerable.
@abercro800 and also, Graf is female.
bud collins go out for a break or get some new pants, let ginny do the talking
Post stabbing head to head record:
Graf 4 Seles 1
Sad
Serena? I cannot think of a less worthy Champion ever in women's tennis, and I watched female-tennis live since Wimbledon 82! Sorry, but I guess anyone who wins something automatically has fans creaping around. I am sure 13 years after her departure noone will talk about Williams any more, the complete opposite to Stefanie Graf.
