If I remember well, this was her first double bagel in Grand Slam. Grass suited her game perfectly : her underspined backhand was so effective, and her mighty serve and forehand wrecked devastation in opponents game. Furthermore, grass favoured great athletes like Steffi, Martina or Pete Sampras.
I'd never seen her either. Good all round game and movement. I think it's the Prince Woodie she is using; C Bassett used this before going to Dunlop max 200g in 1986. I actually thought it was a Prince Spirit which is the Gold painted aluminium frame, a lovely racket in itself, still use it myself. Cheers for the comment on this

Yes, her first double bagel. In total she did it 5 times, all at Wimbledon except one against Zvereva at Roland Garros.
@@zuichiang5088 There is also one against Simpson Alter at AO 89 and against Mothes at US Open 91.
She dit it 7 times in GS...
@@stef1074 oh yes! i forgot about those! thanks for correcting. This must be another record, i suppose?
Через месяц Штеффи Граф на рекордные недели станет N 1 ❤❤❤
Pretty sure Scheur-Larsen's racket is the same one Carling Bassett used. I never saw her play. Nice upload!
