There is some SO exquisite about watching Graf hit the ball late and with a rush of racquet speed that will never be rivaled in women's tennis. It can't be taught, nor should it be. There's the difference between her and everyone else.
Yeah, I think her backhand became somewhat of a liability in the early 1990s. In the late 80s, her slice background was a shot to behold (so hard and biting). In the early 90s, it became a much softer, shorter, and floatier shot. I was glad to see her make these adjustments in 1995.

I love how the look on Steffi's face after the drop shot is kind of like, "Yeah, go ahead, keep pounding my backhand. It will only get better."
