That Golden Slam that’s why she is the best, no question
But calendar golden slam is really SO OVERRATED !
Tennis was not a medal sports at the Olympics during Margaret Court, Navratilova and Evert's dominant time periods so why should the Olympics be taken into account for any sort of "achievements" ?
88feji you are out of your mind. Overrated? Yes that’s why all experts make such a huge deal about it! You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. You are a Steffi troll and a hater
@@Munkyjoe1 It's not overrated but it's not fair either,players before 1988 could not achieve this,tennis is just not usual olympic sport like athletics,who knows,maybe one day tennis is not going to be olympic sport anymore.
@@88feji Well, she also has 22 Grand Slams, the most weeks at No. 1 of any player, etc.
@@88feji How can it be overrated,you have to win all four slams plus the Olympic gold.
Forget numbers of titles, this woman is the only person male or female to ever win a Calendar Golden Slam she owns it all by herself and in my eyes she is the greatest tennis player of all time because a Golden Calendar Slam is the most difficult thing to achieve in one year Congratulations Steffi Graf
@Children of Light: In addition, Graf is the only player (men or women) to win the "Super Slam" (4 Majors, WTA-/ATP Championship, Olympic Gold Medal) within one year (from WTA Championship 1987 to the Olympic Games 1998) - about 10 months an 1 week.
Only three other players achieved a Career Super Slam - S. Williams and Andre Agassi...
There's some arbitrariness to what statistics the media chooses to amplify over other statistics. Martina Navratilova won 6 consecutive slams without skipping any, and she basically never gets credit for that other than on these statistic compilations on Wikipedia and various places. Graf's achievement was actually greater than the 88 golden slam, because her slam win streak extended to 5 in 1989. So she should actually be given credit for a greater achievement than what she actually accomplished. And so should Martina. 0:23
Only cus Monica got stabbed thanks to his crazy fans of her otherwise it would be different story but not we we never know cus history change the entire career of Monica seles
@@carterwilson4605 all great points. I think you should start a wilsonopedia
Steffi Graf was such an immensely talented and classy player. Even though she retired at ONLY at 30 years of age, dealt with injuries (ankle injury, knee surgery and many more), personal problems dealing with her dad Peter Graf's income tax evasion, alcoholism, extramarital affair and generally high unforced errors in her games all throughout her career, she still managed to claim 22 grand slam titles, a golden slam and gold at Seoul Olympics. I still believe Steffi Graf is the GOAT in women's tennis. Women's tennis has never been the same after she retired.
That forehand 😱👊🏻
And that footwork

A truly monumental day in tennis history in which the greatest female athlete of all time reached the pinnacle of this wonderful sport by winning the Calendar Slam (she would later go on to win the Seoul Olympics as well, making the Golden Calendar Slam), something that will never be achieved in tennis ever again. Many have tried and failed (Borg, Navratilova, Williams) and others will crack under the immense pressure like Djokovic at the upcoming US Open. Not Steffi though, she was truly one of a kind and in a class of her own.
- Only player in history to win the Golden Slam
- Only player in history to win each Slam 4 times
- Only player in history to win 6 Slams on all surfaces
- Only player in history with 377 weeks at #1
- Only player in history with 8 Year-End #1
- Only player in history to win at least 3 Slams in a season FIVE times
- Only player in history to win the Channel Slam 4 times (RG+Wimbledon)
- Won 21 Slams before the age of 27 and 22 by the time she was 30
- Won 22/54 Slams she ever played
- Won 48% of tournaments she ever played
You totally called it. I think the pressure is getting to Nole.
Diede De Groot has won the Golden Slam, as far as I know she is a woman 😁😎
Serena is the GOAT
- best service technique, pressure serving, aces and unreturned serves the game has ever seen
- raised by a father who had no professional experience or even casual experience with the sport
- overcame racist structure of naysayers, elitists and wealthy sexists who tried to keep her family out entirely
- targeted 5-10x the average player for discriminatory drug testing (never once tested positive)
- has won all 4 grand Slams in a row twice (only Laver and Graf have also done)
- has won all 4 grand slams in a row in BOTH singles and doubles
- 14-0 in Grand Slam ladies doubles finals (Graf totally neglects this essential part of our sport!)
- most titles won at Indian Wells, Miami, the two biggest titles by far outside the Slams
- went undefeated on clay in 2013, racking up 1 hartru and 4 red clay titles (not even Evert or Nadal has won this many clay titles in one year while going undefeated)
- actually had to play her SF at the USO the year she went for calendar Slam (Graf got a freebie at the hardest stage of the CYGS pursuit; a walkover from Evert before the match started, reducing Graf’s “Slam” to only 27, not 28, matches played and won)
- defeated the 22-time GS champion Graf in a MASSIVE tournament, the championship match, as an inexperienced teenager in 1999
- surpassed Graf’s record of 22 slams while PREGNANT
- overcame more injuries, life threatening surgeries, emergencies and personal tragedies than any other player
- despite all this, the greatest dominance across 3 decades of any player male or female
- career longevity truly unmatched, emerging with winning H2H records against legends from 4 decades
- more majors won while match points down than any player in memory
- advanced/innovated/forever changed women’s game to unforetold levels in power, foot speed, return aggression, serving variety, equal prize money, international presence and business success
- did not have the supreme benefit of having her #1 kryponite rival being stabbed in the back by her own fan at the pinnacle of her young career
- considered the greatest player of all time unanimously by Evert, Navratilova, King, McEnroe, and many others
Only player who’s main rival was stabbed

Seles was better if it wasn’t bc one of the graf crazy fan stabbed seles in the back and seles beat graf In every match
Just Watch the quality of her shots, in 1988 such shots were unseen! What a legend and definitely the greatest female tennis player of all times.
Queen Graf!!
greatest of all time!

Steffi is the GOAT of women's tennis 🎾🏆
Yeah. Its between Margaret, Navratilova or Graff...but definitely not that Gorilla.
The best tennis player...The Greatest we could say :)
Serena and Seles you meant
@@yussepig6629 They both are the Greatest too 😊❤️
Steffi - huge shots especially that famous forehand, but very sharp, crisp clean shots with EASE. And credit to both Graf and Sabatini here, excellent quality of play, nice hitting and styles and tactics we rarely see these days. Nice match and rivalry between these two. Two great champions here, and of course, the greatest women's tennis player and champion of all time, Steffi Graf. Happy Birthday
My idol ..i always read a news about her, back then.
...and history was made :) GOAT.
Steffi also won the Olympic Gold in 1984 in Los Angeles but tennis was a demonstration sport at that time
By the way: Graf won also the Olympic tennis championship of 1984 in Los Angeles at age 15. Because it was a demonstration and not official, she got no Gold medal.
At LA Games Graf was the youngest of the players... and won the exhibition nevertheless.
Glad You Mentioned That. I Knew Steffi Won The Gold In 1984 LA. Games! Enough Though It Was An Exception! No One Ever Mentions That! Steffi Is Simply The Best!
She got a hearty handshake, its the thought that counts. I dont wanna hear about tennis being a demonstration, at least they got in. Bowling still hasnt.
Maravillosa, Steffi Graf ,única y buena gente . Increíble fuera y dentro de la pista.
Steffi the greatest female player of all times, no doubt about it!
Just 1 of many reasons that Steffi is the GOAT by a country mile
22 Slams against 23 Slams a major reason why Graf is not the GOAT by continent mile.
@@magnetmac1 I prefer one Golden Slam against zero Grand/Golden Slams over 23 slams against 22.
@@carrerau7138
I once read a Graf fan's preference.
The fan posted that he prefers Graf's Golden Slam to anyone who wins 6 Slams in a row.
I guess the point is that I have read odder preferences than what you posted. Fortunately these preferences (yours too) is not a part of criteria to determine GOAT status in tennis.
@@magnetmac1 Then why does Steffi win almost all GOAT polls, even in the USA?
@@carrerau7138
Graf visited Seles in her hospital room after the stabbing.
This is what Graf said, quote -
"She is in very bad shape. The wound itself is not the problem, but what is going on in her head at the moment.
It hurts me that it happened in Germany, (by) a German guy and guy who is apparently a fan of mine," on quote.
The University Clinic in Hamburg, Germany.
Hospital hospital statement, quote -
"the patient's PSYCHOLOGICAL CONDITION has suffered because of the malicious nature of the attack and the fact that it could have been much worse.
Seles will remain in the clinic for further observation for the time being," on quote.
Women's tennis was a much quieter game back then!
It's so nice watching women's tennis without all the grunting
And screaming.
Yeh they don’t grunt they scream like in a horror film
Williams Sisters: God send us to play Tennis
Steffi Graf: I did not remember sending you two.
Tennis is a game of power these days. It once was a game of craft
Women's tennis today is a game of racquet and string produced power without nuanced technique. This is why very few can keep up a string of victories. They can only win when "on".
Zverev made the comeback of his life against Djokovic... Now we will probably never get even close to watching something similar as Graf in 1988. Maybe a random tennis player in the 2060s will have a shot...
As a fan of Novak, last match hurts so much... he was so close to that historical moment...
@@mllepuff i've always wondered how the outcome would be if hadn't played mixed doubles and solely focused on the singles
Olympic gold medal is bigger and prestigious medal than atp finals title
But not more than Grandslam titles in Tennis sport.
Rafael Nadal,Andre Agassi,Andy Murray,Steffi Graff and Serena Williams are the proves in open era
Playing for nation and winning Olympic gold medal for country is bigger achievement than atp finals title also though it doesn't have atp ranking points etc
Grandslams>Olympic gold 🏅>Atp finals titles>atp masters titles in open era for athletes and pro tennis players
Atp finals is hard and tough but my family never heard about atp finals titles like Grandslams and Olympics also in their life
Winning Olympic gold medal for country is important and bigger than Winning atp finals title actually.
Only 8 players will Play atp finals which is held every year but Olympics held every 4 years that's why it is hard
If it is not important Djokovic would not play Olympics 2008,2012,2016,
2020/2021 or feel sad like that actually.
Atp finals title is one of the biggest and prestigious title in open era also
It would be great if Rafael Nadal wins it but he is mostly tired and fatigue during atp finals most of the time.
If atp finals is best of 5 set then I will put it above Olympic gold medal also
But it is not so I will put below that
Big players like Rafael Nadal,Andre Agassi,Steffi Graff,Serena Williams and Andy Murray in open era did it.
So it is not wrong to put above atp finals titles.
Steffi is the greatest that ever played...loved gaby too
That's not a forehand, that's a howitzer cannon.
Go ahead hit to my forehand, I DARE YOU!
Steffi Graf, the one and only Golden Slam winner. GOAT.
So only few single players have won the career golden slam. We know it's really hard ro achieve. This calendar year golden slam is just exceptional. 30+ years and noone else has achieved it. This one record really sets Steffi apart.
Also, what most missed is that this Seoul win also made her the only player who's done the non-calendar year super slam.
Out of the three players that have reached career super slam, two married each other. LOL
the best by far
2 gorgeous ladies ....
And an awesome game ....
She is the greatest tennis 🎾 player of all time by a country mile 🇩🇪🏆 you can’t deny it
Roger Federer eat your heart out because Stefi is the true master of tennis 🎾
why tho - she would lose to fedderer?
@Nepoleon Khwairakpam that’s ur opinion, u can’t prove that.
@Nepoleon Khwairakpam i didn’t say federer was better than djokovic or nadal?
@Nepoleon Khwairakpam When did I say they weren’t?
Steffi Graf : the GREATEST EVER, no matter the number of GS (knowing she stopped her career at just 30, while Serena is still playing at 36)
Graf would've never won 22 slams had seles not been stabbed.Seles started beating graf regularly.
What? Who won 3 of 4 Slam Finals H2H pre-stabbing? stefi? LOL
In '91 - early '93 the best wta athlete was Monica, one and only, #1 WTA, and Seles won 3 of 4 most important matches H2H pre-stabbing against stefi. Or do you mean that final in Roland Garros it's equivalent to final in Hamburg?
Final in san antonio it's equivalent to final in Australian Open? Super Mega LOL :-D :-D :-D
But stefi was indisputed N#2 , not bad! Please, no cherry-picking thanks a lot!
Best regards and go in peace ;-) :-D :-P
Graf would never have won as many with today's crop of players. Hingis, Henin, Navratilova, were all far and away better players than Graf.
Because no one was near it. Steffi was considered to be the GOAT because she won the most slams and dominated the field the most. Serena's been more dominant then Steffi, with harder competition and no competitors that were dominating her and simply got injured before their prime. And to think that Serena's probably taken the most injury time off of any top 10 tennis player ever.
GOAT
A lot of people wete expecting steffi to have a let down at the Olympics. After winning the grand slam at the US Open, she talked about how exhausted she was mentally and just wanted to sleep in her hotel room. As it was, she was only in trouble once at the olympics when she was a break down in the final set against Savchenko. The "let down" would happen a couple of months later when she lost at the WTA tour finals to Pam Shriver.
That was not a “let down“ in the Shriver match.
Steffi was ill and had fever, simple as that. Should not have played.
She's a legend❤❤❤
The greatest woman to ever play the game no doubt 💯
Seles better. Serena way better
@@yussepig6629 H2H Graf vs. Seles 10:5; Seles never won Wimbledon - was destroyed even in her best year in 1992 by Graf! Williams has only 1 GS more, but remember: the numer of Majors is not a strong criterion to be No 1 at all, because there are players who have won several Majors, but never were No 1 (Mandlikova - 4 x Majors, but "only" No. 3) - and on the other hand there are players who were No 1 without a Major title (Jankovic: only one (!!) final in a Major/USO 2008).
The strongest criterion is without any doubt the duration at the top of the ranking list because it includes Majors as well as other important tournaments. And Williams only won 73 titles over 20 years (the 73rd title at the age of 38) - ridiculous with respect of GOAT or not GOAT. Chris Evert - title No. 73 USO at the age of 22 (!); Steffi Graf - 73rd title FO 1993 at the age of 24 years; Navratilova title No. 73 at the age of 27.
Seles, Williams, and many others were better tennis players than Graf.
@@lilydog1000... and many others... Ok, stupid boy.👎
Not only it's so hard to achieve, there are also only two quest for golden slam ever happening. One accomplished, one failed.
Should have entered the olympics 100m dash
Steffi Graf shall remain the only person on this planet to have a Golden Slam……😁
Expected. Steffi is in a league of her own and the undisputed GOAT.
Dimitry, yes I agree and I have no animus towards Novak Djokovic I get no pleasure in his disappointment, it’s just the Millennials have taken almost every single WTA and ATP honor there is except Steffi’s Golden Slam. I want Generation X to keep that one.
And only one to get main rival stabbed
Who else already misses The Olympics?
I loved it the way it was....
Lmao how different is it now? Why do people covet everything in the past as if everythingggg was better back then
Daniel Fagboyegun from the looks of it, it was. And I'm only 14. The points were very well played and it didn't get boring.
Lol thats true i guess. Super interesting points. You get that occasionally though. I'm sure its more often than not if you watch tennis alot
True Allie.. It didn't get boring..Thank you for the comment..
Not everything was better in the past, but a lot....
Legend!
A friend and I on the tennis team back in HS used to joke that Sabatini was on the take. She had so many 2nd finishes and hardly any wins. So we hoped she made some extra money on the side for these runner-up finishes.

💎 of Tennis...... ❤
I think Steffi had the best slice backhand ever in tennis . Rosewall very close with her .
Indeed. It was deadly.
Federer? I think 90% agree Federer has the best slice, but Graf is definently 2nd.
To be fair tennis wasn’t in the olympics till Stef era
It was also an olympic sports from 1896-1924
I wanted to see all five slam/Olympic highlights.
Lol the women then played so much better than today
true
Matthias W crazy when you consider that mens tennis has improved quite a bit. Ive started to watch some of the matches between graf and seles lately and i am amazed how high the level is. Also when one takes into account the improvements in raquet technology.
I don't see what you guys are thinking. The women now either hit twice as hard or are twice as fast as the 90's women.
Twice as hard or fast? First of all, no. Secondly, what is the difference between hard and fast? How does one measure hard?
Hey, you look so familiar.
Still the GOAT.
and with a much smaller racket then they use today... a remarkable athlete!!
Graf what a player.she obviously is the best ever but she had such style.charisma.class.what we have today is one dimensional grunting pigs
Sabatini serve was a huge weakness she was a chronic underachiever.
Do you have the match of Andre Agassi Vs Leander Paes (Atlanta Olympics 1996) ?
Sorry, we don't have that one yet. We'll let you know once we do. :)
Great. Thanks for the reply ! :)
Andre Rihu

She retired early.... Otherwise she would have easily breaked the record of Margaret court of 24 GS in singles
So back then there were no agonizing screams and load noises from women tennis?!
Not on an hourly basis.
when women didn't have to grunt...
Grunt and scream.
Yup....
Steffi would easily beat Serena if she was still playing, such a pity Williams hasn't had any decent competition since Kim Clysters & Henin retired.
bellabana yeah, her only challenge has been her own age... Sharapova, Azarenka, and the others just aren't consistent top players
bellabana You keep saying that Graf would have beaten Serena, yet you're too stupid to do you research and realize that Serena beat Graf in their last encounter...when she was a teenager.
Illya Kuryakin And? That was Steffi's peak. Serena didn't even peak until her early twenties (and then again in her thirties LOL).
Steffi was a great athlete, nothing more. Her windmill forehand was ugly, her backhand a constant slice. She won far more than she warranted because of a gap of great players in her time. Halap would destroy her.
Lets not forget Agassi was a huge factor in favor of Graf's retirement. Steffi dedicated herself to Andre and he won 4 or 5 more Slams with Steffi by his side before his career was over too.
At this time, Woman Tennis was nearly as Good as Man Tennis 🎾
Did anyone notice, that Graf and Agassi both have won a Golden Slam? Graf a calendar, Agassi a career GoS! Great couple!
@Max E lol remember when a fan asked "will you marry me?" she answered "how much money do you have?"... with 8 grand slams and olympic gold Andre had obviously enough money and won the match.
@Max E yup.
And there are only three players who won the "Super Slam" - Graf, Agassi and S. W. Graf won the S.S. within about 10 months from November 1987 (WTA Champiuonships) up to September 1988 (Olympic Games Seoul 1988)... Agassi and S.W. needed some years.
In 1988, these were the two sexiest girls in the world. Gabby is still a perfect 10 today at age 47...
So is Steffi, even today in 2022.

Been 32 years since the last grand slam. We're about due for another one. Golden Slam? Maybe once in a life time event.
2 Mark my words djokovic Will get golden grand slam this year

@@Mitke420 he lost to another german
In addition Graf won the "Super Slam" (WTA Ch.-sh., 4 Majors, Olympic Games) within 10 monzths 1987/88. Only two other players won a Super Slam - within several years: Andre Agassi and S.W.
How strange of you to just FORGET mentioning Djokovic who at that time, has connected 4 grand slams.
Djokovic never won the prestigious Calendar Grand Slam. Only 5 players have achieved this:
1938- Don Budge
1953- Maureen Connolly
1962 and 1969- Rod Laver
1970- Margaret Court
1988- Steffi Graf
Steffi is the only one who won the Golden Calendar Slam (all 4 majors in the same year and the Olympic gold medal).
It’s way more difficult to win all 4 Slams in the same calendar year than to win four in a row in any other manner.
Besides, this is an Olympic channel and Steffi completed her Golden Slam at the 1988 Seoul Olympics in September. Djokovic has achieved no such thing so why should an Olympics channel give him a video??? Stop playing the victim.
