It won't be an exaggeration to say Martina was well and truly blown away in the final by a marauding Steffi Graf. I'm actually surprised she won a game against such a ruthless display of power and athleticism.
This match was the change of guard in women's tennis at that time; Martina yielding to her younger & stronger opponent. Right here are the best two female tennis players of all time
You could really tell after the rain delay something was up with Martina physically. Her service motion had slowed down and her hip action and knee bend decreased quite a bit. By 1-4 down she seemed to realize she couldn't win this. Should have at least won 2 games in the 3rd set though, terrible disappointment to double fault back-to-back after being up 40-15. Steffi was amazing though - what confidence!
Graf is the best of all time most of Martinas wins came when Graf was very young just coming up in 1985 86 etc.

Does anyone have the semi final match between Chris and Martina? I heard it was a great match. And yes Chris should have won that match.

@luisrod68 Why should Chris have won that match? Martina had four match points, Chris none.

Martina ------- Only male player in female tennis. He was not equal with Beautiful Steffi in every aspect neither in Tennis nor in Beauty.

amazing play from steffi.
I've always wondered how people play with a ball in their hand like she did. Isn't it awkward?

But Martina wasn't over. She kept up her incredible rivalry with Steffi Graf and I think they both ended their rivalry with 9 to 9
That equal record shows how incredible both Tennis Players are

Dick Enberg's comments are the most annoying around. Just when I thought we'd be rid of him forever, he joined ESPN's and CBS's commentary teams.

Steffi hits a lot of backhand topspin in this match, most of the time when Martina approach the net.
