Nö, das war die Sabatini, gegen die habe ich damals an einem Punkt sieben von acht Spielen verloren.

Die Seles habe ich meistens besiegt, sogar als sie #1 war.

Steffi

@Hoffenheim08 Liebe Steffi! Du warst eine wundervolle Tennisspielerin. Schade nur, dass sich dein Vater mit seinem oft grenzwertigen Benehmen und eher zwielichtigen Nebengeschäften Dich und Deine ganze Familie immer in Miskredit gebracht hat und Dir mit Sicherheit die Ruhe genommen hat Dich auf Tennis immer und voll zu konzentrieren. Aber, man kann sich die eigenen Eltern nicht aussuchen. Seien wir doch ehrlich, Seles ist zu der Zeit so was wie ein Angstgegnerin gewesen für Dich, oder?

@assindiastignani

You make no sense when you suggest that Seles had my number.

@Hoffenheim08 I'm sorry, but you make no sense whatsoever. Still, I have to ask: Are you Steffi Graf?

@assindiastignani

Seles never ever beat Steffi on a fast court.

So Steffi's USO and Wimbledon titles are secure.

But every title Seles ever won is a bit suspect and open to the question: Could she have won if Steffi Graf's family hadn't been blackmailed?

[assindiastignani]

@selesfan30 Seles certainly seemed to have Graf's number at this point in time. It would have been so interesting to see if she could have come up with game plan to beat Seles. But then, came the crazy German fan of Steffi's, stabbed Monica and she was never the same. For me, every big title Steffi won after that is a bit suspect and open to the question: Could she have won if Monica Seles were still playing?

Well Graf beat Venus Williams in Graf's last Wimbledon in 1999, and and in 1999 French Graf beat all the power players including Davenport. Graf retired because of her age and injury. I don't recall Seles ever using the stabbing as an excuse, actually Seles said the stabbing and time away made her more mature of a person and that she realized life was more than tennis. Graf and Seles are two all time greats who won about everything and beat everyone.

@Nicklas4500 Martina's 4-1 record vs Graf at the U.S Open just proves what an overrated loser Graf is. Losing 4 out of 5 matches to someone who was aged 28-34 at the U.S Open and nearly losing the other. What a disgrace for a 22 slam winner. Graf and Seles are the two most overrated players of all time. Just look how bad both did when the power hitters like Davenport and Williams came. Graf retired like a coward and Seles got her ass kicked for years and used the stabbing as a pity excuse.

@JimAsian1 Good point. Martina had a 4-1 winning record against Steffi at the USO. Steffi can't have been ill or injured for all those matches.
