@@alexsdb9712 I once had the opportunity to play with an old Dunlop Max 200G my tennis trainer brought with him some years ago. What a small sweet spot that stick had!! That Steffi could generate such pace with it, especially with her famous forehand is a miracle. I was glad when I could return to my modern racket after 15 minutes. Night and day.

Beginning of the Graf era in tennis. From 1997-96 she won 94 WTA titles including 21 of her 22 slams. Most dominate most run by any tennis player of either gender in tennis history. She is simply the GOAT.

@tobiasisback4605 Жыл бұрын

Nonsense. The most dominant player of either gender in the open era was Navratilova. 1982-86 was the most dominant 5 year unbroken spell by any player. Record season winning percentages, record number of titles, record number of slams, record number of consecutive slams and record winning streaks. Graf's 1987-96 “reign” was interrupted by Seles who deposed her from #1 and led Graf 3-1 in slam finals until the stabbing. How can Graf be the best ever when she wasn’t even the best in her own era? 93-96 Graf mopped up against inferior competition - not a single all-time great in the field. The #2 in 1986 (Evert) was better than the #2 in 1996, better than anyone Graf had to face for 4-5 years. Just as Court's slam tally is inflated by inferior competition at AO, so is Graf's from 1993-96. Neither is GOAT for that reason. Navratilova was objectively more dominant 1982-86 than Graf was in any comparable period, despite having to face another all-time great, Evert, all through their overlapping primes.

@@tobiasisback4605 wrong. here, read this: it took 12 years for Graf to win her 22 grand slam titles (her first at Roland Garros in 1987, her last at the same grand slam in 1999). That is 1.83 slams per year. Serena Williams took 18 years to win her 23 grand slam titles. that is 1.2 slams per year. in percentage terms, Graf is the GOAT. and if we go by length of career, Graf was an active WTA player for 17 years, Williams for 27 years. TEN MORE YEARS to win just one more slam than Graf. do the math. as for Seles, just stick to the facts. even when she was supposed to be at her dominant best, SHE NEVER WON WIMBLEDON. she took time out for more than two years. by the time she came back, the game had left her behind. blame it on her decision to stay away from the game that long. and her psychological problems, eating disorders, weight gain, etc. she could have done a Kvitova who came out swinging after she received even MORE DEATH-threatening and MULTIPLE STAB WOUNDS.

Graf's career and records were aided by Monica Seles being sidelined for 2.5 years after getting stabbed. She would have never ended up with as many slams if Seles was never stabbed. Martina Navratilova holds the most impressive records in tennis.

@@guyinsf aided? that is simply PURE SPECULATION on your part. and to resort to speculation is rather CHEAP. anybody can do it. so go on and play that movie in your mind. pinning Seles to the VICTIM CARD identity did NOTHING to resurrect her career. and it does nothing for her NOW. it just makes her look even more ridiculous. and that would be your fault.

@@anthonydecastro6938 Not speculation at all. It was pretty clear that Seles was number 1 at the time and cutting into Graf's winning. Just ask the Graf fan who stabbed Monica, that's was his exact plan and it worked. Only a Graf fanatic would deny this reality.

Excellent comments. Graf had the toughest competition and with 22 titles by the age of 29 no one should be disputing that Graf is the supreme champion.

@@guyinsfNavratilova was 4-8 win/loss against 16/18-year-old Tracy Austin. Austin struggled with injuries from then on, had to leave the tour in 1983. Without that Martina would have won 12 slams, maximum! Comparable to Serena who profited from Henin having to leave the tour in 2008 due to burnout. Juju had dominated Serena in 2003-07 with 5-2 H2H (4-1 in slams, on every surface). Austin and Henin were gone for good whereas Seles returned after 2 years and played 8 more.

Schneidest Du das selbst? Oder gibt's dafür ne Automatik? Einerseits ist der Schnitt cool für den schnellen Überblick. Andererseits geht auch einiges an Atmo und Emotion (und z.B. Erste Aufschläge!) verloren.

All kinds of psychological undercurrents with Navratilova here. She hadn't won a tournament all 1987 (and wouldn't until Wimbledon). She said some time later that with hindsight, she'd been burned out from 1987 - mid 1989 and was subconsciously trying to play as few tournaments as possible. Certainly, 1987 is when the choking started to come back into Martina's game. She'd been notorious for it in her earlier years, but seemed to have cured it during those hyper dominant years in the mid 80s. She served for the match here, but started serving double faults - always a sign of intense nerves with Martina. She would also go on to have some famous losses from a winning position in the rest of 1987, 1988 and 1989: *A couple of weeks after this, she lost in straight sets to Sukova at Eastbourne after losing a 5-0 lead in the first set. *She lost to Steffi at Wimbledon 1988 after being up a set and a break. *Lost to Sukova again from a set and twice up a break in the second set, at the tour finals in 1988 *Had yet another loss to Sukova at the 1989 Australian Open after twice serving for the match *Lost the 1989 US Open final to Steffi after again being up a set and a break *Very nearly lost to Monica Seles at the 1989 tour finals after being up 6-3, 5-1. Martina scraped through that one 6-3, 5-7, 7-5.
