Those two games at 4-3 and 4-4 in the second set really were the match. Interesting that the commentators were expecting Martina to start getting nervous and she did.
Sports Illustrated reported Martina's post match comments: "In a graceless postmatch interview, she said that she herself had not played well and that Graf "swings for the fences...was lucky...hit so many unbelievable lines...hit a ball going to the rafters until it swirled in."
I am a huge fan of Steffi she is my idol. I am not a fan of Martina’s ground strokes or commentating, but she had great sportsmanship. Gracious winner as loser. She applauded and gave credit to her opponent. Great attitude!
This match shows the mental decline Steffi had between this match and their semi final in 1991. Here, once Steffi had come back to win that second set, she knew she had to put her foot on the accelerator. In 1991 Steffi went away mentally after squeaking through the second.
Steffi Graf, what a player, what a woman such an athlete 👍
Aside from this being a brilliant match with Steffi winning, it was always great to hear Martina acknowledge a great shot from her opponents.
Happy 50th birthday, 14-VI-2019 to Steffi Graf. GOAT, looks like she could still be playing the tour.

Steffi is GOAT , her rivalry with Martina/ Seles were best in female tennis history
Graf the best ever

Estupenda campeona Steffi Graf ,que maravilla
Graf best ever, Awesome !!!!!
1989 was Steffi's peak imo.
Martina gave this one away. She lost concentration in that second set and Graf's shark-like determination kicked in.
Steffi vs Martina always a interesting & gud match
❤❤❤Steffi the Goat❤❤❤
Steffi and Martina, two Queens of the tennis.

Steffi is the best of all time. Love and miss her
Graf played something much quicker and harder then than she did in her later years.
A word for Mary Carillo, who is an excellent commentator.
me too at Jose :)
