At 3:52, Steffi shows off her best serve. The serve outwide to the AD court. The serve a twist or kick serve. Hard to tell which one. Both serves have a topspin component. From the front, you can see how square Steffi is on the finish, with the racquet pausing at the end on the right side.
At 3:17, Steffi demonstrates why her slice backhand was not a defensive shot. Yes, one can pass with a slice backhand, provided one is as aggressive on the shot as Steffi is. What an angle and what bite on the shot.

Martina looks exactly like David Bowie. Ever noticed that?

this was the time when steffi is so focused and driven
notice how she's goin for every shot whether she's up or down in a game
notice how she's attackin even martina's first serve
it was the pre-media-tabloid-hullabaloo(was it spring 1990 that scandal about her father came out? ) that purposely disrupted her concentration
she was never ever the same
im glad she recovered a bit in the mid 90's
booooo, that was the distractors can best do?
fuckin lame!
