I always love the camera angle at the WTA year end championships. At madison garden, they place the camera very low almost at the same level of the players. That's how you truly appreciate the angles and the pace of the balls they hit.
Oh, btw, I love to see Steffi play but I am a Monica Seles fan.
So many sports people don't know when to quit but Graf was one of only a handful that knew when to say goodbye. Sure she could have hung around another couple of years and broken Margaret Courts record, maybe even equalled or bettered Chris Everts record at the French or Navs record at Wimbledon but records weren't that important to her and what a fairytale ending for a truely wonderful champion - no gamesmanship, no crap just sheer professionalism to the end.
exactly right!! like heinz (her coach) said, her motivation was playing great tennis, not chasing records / titles. of course she could have stayed on the WTA tour for a while longer, and (for sure) win a couple more slams, but i guess she felt she couldn't produce her best form anymore, so she retired.
Monica Seles could have won 2 Calendar Grand Slams in 1997-1998 when Graf was injured, and tennis was ruled by a petulant puffball-serve Hingis, and then again in 2000-2001 when Graf had retired.
But Monica didn't win a single major, she simply wasn't great enough. She can't forever blame all her missed opportunities on Graf.
Monica was no good without Graf as a gold standard.
Steffii Graf is greatest woman tennis player of all time!
I have more Steffi's videos which I will post in the near future. If anyone have Steffi's matches videos, please post them so we could all enjoy them ... :)
Such a legend. She n Monica Seles r perhaps the most gifted n mentally toughest players of all time. N the way Graf played.....really elegant n stylish.

You are right, sound is not good ... I bought new audio card for my computer ... Steffi vs. Monica in US 1996 has better sound.
