@idontsignin most players retire at 29 or 30 in tennis.everybody knows this.and graf getting beat soundly on her favorite surface at wimbledon by davenport knew it was time to retire.she wouldnt have won any more slams.plus the william sisters were young and on the move.and graf knew this.she barely beat venus at wimbledon.i think she knew by next year she wouldnt.
Funny how Graff goes from dominating before Seles shows up, then goes 1-3 against Seles in Slam finals, then starts to dominate again after Seles is gone. Although theres no doubt in my mind she would have matched or beaten Graf's slam total, total numbers arent even the true measure of greatness. I saw a prime Seles destroy a prime Graf 3 out of 4 times. I know Seles was better. Good Game
LOL Yah right. Keep riding Graff's dick. First of all i saw an over the hill, post stabbed Seles give a prime Serena a challenge. Seles was extremely powerful and extremely quick. Secondly, the Williams didnt even start to dominate till the end of 2000..8 years after Seles got stabbed, leaving time for about 30 more grand slams before the Williams even show up, not to mention she already had 8 in less than years .
Hingis' forehand was better at that point than in later stages of her career. It's amazing to see how well she controlled the rallies in that game and it took Graf's best game to beat her that day.
I know. Hingis doesn't get the credit the she deserved. She's done a great job in maximizing her game despite being one of the smaller players on tour.
ur defnitely right about power, her serves seemed like 40-60mph(first serve), but to win a game against graf without even needing to overpower her is amazing indeed.
many people dont realise the key to tennis isnt power its the volley look at edberg he beat men who were much stronger than him like courier becker and lendl,and he also beat men who were much faster than him like chang,the volley takes away speed and power,problem is nobody does it anymore,jana novotna beat venus williams at wimb using the volley and jana was close to retirement to when she did it.
yes but the serve is power and female players are not suppose to hit the ball as hard as the men and they don't but serena williams serves just as fast as the men she is a steroid freak and should not play with skinny white girls
she isnt a steroid freak if u had any brains you would know most black women are very big they have like size 10 feet compared to most white women who wear like size 7 thats just one of many differences due to whites taking the biggest black man and breeding him with the biggest black woman to make stronger slaves that breeding can be seen today in black people,thats why usa blacks are so big compared to blacks from other countries.
So you agree they are bigger Well Serena looks like a steroid freek on the cover of sports Illustrated dam she is was bigger then men She is a freak maybe hermaphodite ith 3x testosterone of a normal women

Martina was a great player, but she was such a bitch... Steffi is the greatest woman in tennis and amazing person.

No offence. But honestly I think Graf is one of the best players with THE worst swing form. Youngsters, don't follow her style.

Hingis is much more talented than so-called tennis queen Graf. Graf is just a power hitter plus a extremely good runner.

WOW, Hingis was so young. What a talent. My all time fav player. Miss her so very much. Martina, please come back when your ban expires.
