the commentators are so pro hingis. yes michael chang did it too but he had physical problems. hingis did the under-hand-serve cos she was losing, she was angry and she wanted graf to look stupid on the court.
funny that people judge the french crowd. people have to see that hingis behavior was terrible, childish, arrogant and not very sporty. don t mess with steffi graf and the french crowd cos you really have to take the reaction. she is the most loved player ever around the world and you can hear that. love the steffi steffi yelling
@MisterMusic74 I think it's a mix of things. Hingis got a lot of bad press in France before the match because of the homophobic comments against Mauresmo earlier that year. So basically, the crowd was expecting to take it out on her at the first occasion. It does not have anything to do with Graf, the years before, the crowd was supporting Hingis in Paris (especially 97). But Graf took full advantage of it to win.
I miss the part after the match when hingis is leaving the court crying and the crowd is boohing ;-)

I wish we have a rivalry like this nowdays.... Too bad WTA tennis lacks of this kind of quality.
