You may have watched this match countless times, but it never gets old. Two all-time best players in history in their second meeting. Steffi and Monica 💖 Enjoy!
Same goes for virtually any great player of the past. Laver 1969, McEnroe 1984, Becker 1989, Navratilova 1984, Hingis 1997. They'd all wipe the floor with the current crop of baseline robots.
To think that Monica only won 4 games against Steffi on grass.... I'm sure that the 1989 Steffi would trample all over the current top 10❤ my queen Steffi ❤️
She lost her focus during that Wimbledon final because her mind was preoccupied with trying to not grunt. It would have been much more interesting without the grunting controversy as her game was clearly off the mark. Monica says that she regrets not being herself on that that day in an effort to please everyone else instead.
If Monica had not been stabbed, I don’t think she would have overtaken Steffi in GS titles because Steffi would always have the advantage on fast surfaces like Wimbledon and the US Open.
Nah. Steffi wasnt that great in the Us Open, defeated by the likes of Sánchez Vicario and Sabatini. Post stabbing ,out of shape Seles bageled her and Graf could only won 95's USO final with the help of the chair judge. Pre stabbing Seles would owned Graf there also, with Graf winning Wimbledon.
100% fact. Steffi Graf would have won Wimbledon and US Open over Seles without the stabbing. Pre stabbing Seles never ever beat Graf on faster courts. Having said that, I do think Seles would have won FO’93 and FO ‘94 without the stabbing. Pre stabbing Seles only beat Graf on clay 3 times and on slow hard court once. Graf was leading their head to head 6-4 even before the stabbing.
@@meneerkonijn74 What is maybe even more stunning is that Steffi lost only 45 matches in the 1987-96 decade. Just 4.5 matches per year on average! Seles lost 5 matches in her peak year 1992.
Quizás en el US Open 1993 : 6-1 6-0 a Mary Pierce. O en Roland Garros 1994 : 6-0 6-1 a Irina Spirlea. O en Wimbledon 1995 : 6-0 6-1 a Inés Gorrochategui. | Esteban.
Without disrespecting Iga or any other top 10 players of today, put that Graf in Wimbledon 2024, she gonna win the title.

@@fundhund62 nope they are not. They need to adjust their game by huge margin.
No she's not. The woman today hit with power off both wings. Her weak backhand would be exposed by all of them.
Steffi was unbelievable in 1989 this performance was absolutely amazing in its efficiency both mentally snd physically.. perfect tennis 🎾 👌🏻

What a thrashing.
Astonishing, in 1992 it was even clearer in WB
No way just no way for monica in grass
3 years later and at her peak Seles could only improve on this result by 2 games

@@Ricky-mo6mvshe will always a mediocre on grass court
@@manforU100 Yes, it will always go down as being her least successful surface. I still think 1992 was a tremendous effort though.
@@Ricky-mo6mvshe was also facing death threats because of the yugoeslavian war.
Steffi demolition job

I always wonder what the result would have been had they met in the 1990 semi final, was so looking forward to that one.🙄
6-1, 6-1 Graf. Monica was no match for Steffi on Wimbledon grass.
Even after the 2 loses in Berlin and Paris? I do think Steffi would have won though.
Still Steffi would be huge favourite over Monica on grass.
@@ianreed1137 . En Wimbledon 1992, Graf venció a Seles 6-2 6-1.
Graf wins 6-3, 6-2.
And Gabriella Sabatini..
Graf was almost unbeatable in 1988 to 1992
91-92 were Monica’s year
she lost a total of 7 matches in 3 years (87-89) just insane (233 matches played)
@@meneerkonijn74 What is maybe even more stunning is that Steffi lost only 45 matches in the 1987-96 decade.
Just 4.5 matches per year on average!
Seles lost 5 matches in her peak year 1992.
@@meneerkonijn74there is a small mistake in your stats. From 1987-89 she played 240 matches & won 233. Just insane.
Let’s not forget Monica was only 15 years old here and it was her first year on the tour. It’s not like she was expected to win regardless.
Facts only facts : Seles was simply destroyed by Graf each time they played on grass : 6.0 6.1 in 1989 and 6.2 6.1 in 1992.
It was Monica's second year on the tour.
almost 16 years old
Hingis as a 14 & 15 old done better against Graf in Wimbledon. So stop those excuse.
@@rajusaha855 Hingis was a better player than Seles, simple as that.
Has Steffi ever given a more dialled performance in the last 16 of a Slam? Definitely a statement win. Seles wasn’t even bad.
