Martina's first tournament with the now legendary Yonex RD-7 racquet. It seems to have given her a new lease of life, with this win and her win over Monica at the Paris indoors.

thank you,,, incredible tennis, that last running forehand, breathtaking from Graf, we miss her every day, what a privilege to watch someone move so gracefully and with such speed, now Swiatek looks like shes playing baseball, and moves like a sack of spuds

The last two points! 🤯 🔥

Steffi had to face Navratilova's brilliance, upsetting her.

37 year old Navratilova too good for prime 24 year old Graf.

What was it with this tournament that there were always so many bad calls?

Steffi para siempre mi favorita!

Commentator such a jerk towards Steffi horrible. Loved watching Steffi come from behind as Lisa's game started to fall apart. Steffi picked up her serve and cut down in her errors 😊😊😊

Seles pure love

Steffi was simply lethal that day.I can't believe there's ever been a better display of shot-making,absolutely awesome.

Zvereva was the doubles specialist here and she was the weakest player!

This tournament was quite popular despite it being an exhibition tournament.

does anybody know why Steffi high-fived a spectator on 16:36? was it because he yelled something like "ace her down the T" or something?

Pierce was very flat here. She was one of those players that was always either running very hot or very cold.

Probably the best Match Lisa ever had. And it was close. 🎉

If martina isn't a champion then nobody is shes great player then consistent

99 was one of those tough years like 96-97 for monica where her movement was just not there yet...in 2001-2003 she moved better and had better results... | always felt if she played 98defnece like she did before hamburg it would have been enough against Lindsay and martina Hingis to rack up more wins... you can really see it in this match and in 99 overall the difference to how she moved as a teenager but still great highkights of two legends of the sport and two of the nicest people in tennis

Steffi at her best !

I think a lot of the current Chinese players copied after Date's style of play, but with little success.

Thanks for this superb match!

Штеффи - абсолютный атлет в женском теннисе ❤❤❤

9:45 "Sh-t!"

Kim at this point shows she will be the next champion 🏆🏆🏆 power and grace for both players. Both are prima ballerinas with formidable power and grace❤❤❤❤

Man I Miss Monica.

22:38 point of the match! Natasha’s reaction after hitting the perfect lob was hilarious 😂

Never seen (or heard about this match, maybe because I was living in Indonesia at the time). Brilliant rallies and athleticism, particularly from Novotna

As a South African and the bigfest Graf fan, i hated when these two layed each other. Steffi for some reason struggled again Coetzer because Amanda was so quick and ran down so many balls. Coetzer later started working with Seles' old coach, became alittle more aggressive and got into the best shape of her life in 1997. Hence the 3 wins over Steffi and her world ranking peaking at number 3.

Graf played really well but Martina was not moving well that day. She had lower back pain that day and you can see how gingerly she is running to the ball and putting her hand on her back.

So steady is Steffi. You can count on one hand female players with bad days at the office. 1. Evert 2. Graf 3. Seles 4. Navratilova 96 was a very good year for Steffi as she won the 3 GS in which she took part. And she was knee injured with a dad in jail. That is what I call resilience... 97 would be an other story but her knee injury went worse and worse. Sad because she was the only one in the circuit to challenge Hingis.

Marvelous! 🥰

Tough match. Nice rallies

Monicas main problem was her two handed backhand. When the ball arrived close to the right side line, she was late on many of them, and the opponents had an easy time.

Historic moment ❤

What a match! Wow! 🤩

10:06 😍😍

Wonderful crisp video. Thanks!

so many winners 😍

this match was a treat. nobody plays like this anymore. 2 legends of the game. they really understood their games and each others’. the respect they had towards each others. martina’s “thats too good” could get annoying tho.

this was 1 of the greatest performances i have ever seen, she moves so well, outstanding performance from Graf

This was an exhibition match, right?

Congratulations to Rafaela for this tough fight. Honestly you deserved a set. It was a real joy to watch this match. Top! But Steffi had over and over again a word more to add. As far as I know both Ladies were friends?!

Why did Amanda start getting wins over Steffi in 1997 , strange when you look at this match.

How fun

Gracias por el vídeo.Gracias a Steffi Graf por su excelente carrera tenística.❤❤❤

Wow. Thanks for posting. Really high quality match. Graf was a class above but Reggi was fighting for her life.

Amanda so overrated and boring..to me at least

Reggie is very Italian! Loved her spirit.

Steffi’s backhand stroke started to change here in aussie open 90 after her skiing thumb injury i think. She started hitting her backhand very close to her body, the stroke was not as deep or knifing as it was, she also almost stopped hitting top spin backhand altogether during baseline rally… Steffi didnt fix her backhand for a couple season and let it became somewhat of a punching bag for a few of top players. Its very apparent here in this match of that sliced backhand side just sat up instead of penetrating deep

11:21 FLAWLESS!

Reggi was born 25 years too early with her selective grunting.
