wow, I just watched 90 and 99 and its amazing to compare. Seles wasnt so fast anymore in 99 and Steffi hit her forehand harder and made sure that she didnt play to much short backhand slices.

Amazing Seles,

the Germans had to stabb her to end her carrier and see their Graff start winning Grand Slams again

Hingis was on her way to beat all records when she won 3 slams at age 16, dickhead ...

Well, Hingis would have won more than 25 slams if in 1999, well, er ..., ehm ... something had happened.

Even in 1991/92 (which were Graf's worst years in the 1987-1996 period) Steffi won most of her matches against Seles (3 of 4).

So what the hell do you mean with "Steffi could not stay with her"?

Even average Graf was better than peak Seles - Steffi had a better winning percentage in 1987-96 than Seles in 1991/92. That says it all.

Monica was clearly the player to beat from 90 to 93 with this kinda play and was not even at her peak in spring 93....Seles also came back from tragedy from the stabbing and losing her coach/father and even with all this and her weight gain she still was a top contender beating the new power players and most importantly competing at a game she loved...Not a Graf hater in fact she is a great champion but Seles had a better game and Steffi could not stay with her if all things were equal as they

[Lazar19771]

I fell so sorry for Monica. If she wount get stabbed i think she had won at least one time all 4 Grand Slams in a year...at least! She was even so young and had so much to learn on her game as she was stabbed.

A great champ ....the biggest in my eyes.

Everybody knows that the Seles stabbing is the reason why Graf ended up with 11 slams after the Seles stabbing, Graf fans cannot admit that the Seles stabbing was the major contributor to Graf's success, how can anyone deny that Seles was the better player and was on her way to beat all the records, already 8 slams at barely 19 years old and the 2 or 3 time defending champion of 3 slams out of 4 when a Graf fan decided that Monica was too good and had to be taken out of the picture

[juanlu2611]

You know, you can all argue about Graf losing because of her problems and injuries, but VOILA!, her problems and injuries stopped at the same time Seles was stabbed. Coincidence? If you want a clearer example of this just look at the Slams results that year. Seles wins teh AO in 93, beating what I guess you would call a problem ridden Graf. Seles is stabbed and surprise, surprise: who wins the other 3 slams that year?

....and Graf treated us with a bonus quality, and that was how she held off three eras of players. Don't forget her personal problems as well as her many injuries.
