Incredible how quick both are around the court and how precise their shots are. This is nowhere to be seen in today's tennis most of the time...

[meneerkonijn74]

we were robbed from a great, great rivalry.

Here u see a diminished Seles not going for her shots almost beat a good game played by Graf always thought when these two played the outcome lied with Monica a very good Graf could beat a B performance from Seles.

@italo36

Seles was not blasting everyone of the court for 2 straight years. She had losses to all top-5 players.

She was far less dominant than Navratilova or Graf in their best years.

@meneerkonijn74

you got that right

Even Graf's court coverage was not enough to rival Monica's powerful shots when Monica was dominating the game and on top of the world in 1993 when she was blasting everyone off the court for 2 straight years of total dominance until that awful stabbing.

Seles's win against Graf in the 1993 australian open final was setting up a great rivalry (Monica leading slam finals 3-1 and Graf trying to catch up to Monica which made their rivalry interesting)

I think from Clijsters too but not as powerfully as those others I mentioned at their peak.

@juju1305 you saw it from Serena, Venus, Henin at points earlier in the decade (although hardly ever all 3 at once). Today really from nobody except Serena on a good day.

How lovely to see a match with so many winners. Not like the error strewn messes we see nowadays!
