Steffi Graf vs Monica Seles 1991 Hamburg 1/13

In grand slam events Seles was hitting every single shot with power and determination and in this match she was just hitting the ball on the court safely not going for her shots, Monica always won by outhitting anyone but she did not do that in this match she was just hitting safe shots with topspin and Graf took advantage of that and was the one that was the aggressive one and Seles was the one always on the run.
