Still have vivid memories of that match. The level of play was insane between these two legends ❤
This was when Steffi passed on the GOAT torch to Serena
Nah, Graf still owns it.
@@gedfo Graf doesn't own jack shit. Seles couldn't be the player she was supposed to be, but she is the reason why Graf will never be the GOAT. You don't lose 3 out of 4 Grand Slam finals to the same player when you're both in your primes if you're the greatest. You don't let that same player win 7 Grand Slams (only 1 where you didn't play) in a span of just over 2 years (8 including Seles' first GS in 1990) if you're the greatest. Bullshit. You obsessed, likely geriatric Parche wannabes can make all the videos you want. Nothing will ever change that.
@@gedfo Graf never owned it.
Love Steffi's ball striking 🤩
These 2 all time greats are incredible. Even though am a Serena fan, i really admire Steffi Graf as well. I feel these 2 along with Martina and Chris are all worthy to bear the GOAT title Even though i feel the GOAT concept is flawed because it's difficult comparing players from different eras. And for those who claim Serena has no variety i doubt if they've watched this and some of her other matches at the 1999 us open when she had just limited experience on tour.
Graf would have easily won the match if she was playing her old rivals like Arentha Sanchez Vacario & Novotna. She couldn't out hit Serena and Serena had the serve. Steffi never played players of that calibre and thats why she won so many grand slams and titles.
Her only rival got stabbed 😂 But still she is a great champion to as great as her titles would say
Yup. Same when she faced Venus 2 weeks later in Miami. Venus picked her game apart in straight sets.
Graf was 3-1 against Venus in 1999 but go on…
@@gedfo it’s two all, sadly she swiftly retired before she could confront the real Williams
@@gedfo Wrong. She lost to her twice in a row (Hannover and Miami). She lost in 3 straight tournaments to a Williams sister. She knew what was coming and peaced out. At least Seles (who has nowhere near the player she was before the stabbing, the only way Graf started winning slams consistently again in the worst, weakest time in women's tennis history) stayed and faced the next generation (the toughest, best era in women's tennis history).
Iga swiatek game looks like Steffi a little
Do you think Iga can win 20+ grands slams? I doubt it
@@marfu1119 she can if the top 20 suddenly retires 😀
Hahahahaha
