Sukovs is one of the few that could intimidate Martina with her height, reach and power. Helena struggled more with baseline’s like Evert and Graf who would outmanoeuvre her.

A match back from a time when tennis was enjoyable to watch. No grunting and groaning on every ball, even drop shots like players of today

2008

Nice one Dave

Monica Seles would have beaten both of them, getting out of bed in her pajamas.

Martina said some years later that with hindsight, she'd been burned out from the end of 1986 - mid 1989 when she started working with Billie Jean King. Certainly, 1989 was an odd year for her and she took some long periods off the tour. After playing Tokyo at the start of February, she didn't play again for another 8 weeks, losing to Zvereva at Hilton Head on her return. She then lost to Sabatini the following week at Amelia Island, and took another 8 week break, only returning when the grass court season started in Birmingham. She took another 4 week break after Wimbledon. After the US Open she played the Fed Cup at the start of October then 3 weeks off before playing in New England and then finally the tour finals. All in all, she played 13 tour events, plus the Fed cup finals in October. Her schedule in 1990 was even more restrictive, playing only 11 events and cutting her season short to have knee surgery.

Lyrics Oh When i was young, i would see things on my T.V But did i know just when id grow, id know not just what i would be. And now as I migrate, sure grass is green for all i can see, and all I've learned..is I'm free. And when i was old, i wasn't sure just where I'd been, I'd sit, think for a while, then come a smile with my cup of tea. And then i would ruminate, think of the girls that loved my scenes, remembering how i was loved..on my T.V.

Martinaaaaa the new Star 🌟

Sukova only beat Navratilova 6 times out of 32 matches but 3 times were at Grand Slams Not many players can say that other than Graf, Evert, Mandlikova

Hingis was just acting, seemed she's playing with Kremer just to boost her confidence...

I was 13, in the stadium, still remember this day quite pristinely. King of Spain came during the match, and David Robinson was sitting at the opposite side of the stadium.

Never realised Arantxa was just 24 here. It was basically the end of her prime but seemed like she’d been around for ages! And after winning the French at 26 in 1998 she was pretty much done.

By 94, even as early as 93, how she performed makes sense and connects with what Sabatini stated in interviews after she retired - that she was spent: mentally, physically and tired of all the excess attention and expectation of the press and people in Argentina. She started questioning her passion for the game, by this point, and sought out help. Plus she started really developing more interest in things outside of the game such as her known business savvy.

Un año regular y malo para Sabatini hasta mitad de año que gano el 2do Master

Martina talked on Twitter recently about why she stopped playing the Australian Open after this. She mentioned how, like a lot of other players, she hated the Rebound Ace surface and thought it was dangerous - she mentioned how she burnt her knee once while getting down for a low volley (the surface was rubberised and got very hot and started to melt in hot weather). She also mentioned how before they switched from grass, the Australian Open officials asked the players which surface they wanted - apparently the players didn't want Rebound Ace but were ignored. Martina also said that scheduling became a real problem for her. She said there was too little time for her to recover from the last season and be ready for Australia in January.

Sukova le ganó dos veces a Navratilova en el AO, en el 84 y 89

By this time , Martina had already made the quarters of the AO that year and won Wimbledon doubles , played the Olympics, and had a win over Steffi! She was also 16th seed here. At such a young age.

Watching this again, it's striking how different this match was to their 1991 matches on green clay. In those matches, Gaby was moving well and playing really assertively, often making sneak attacks to the net. In this match, she is playing like she just got out of bed about ten minutes before the match. She doesn't really seem to know where she is.

All 4 ladies, 1 handed backhand, All 4 ladies, serve/volley....bring this technique back to ladies tennis....

En este partido Gaby fue una decepción absoluta

Unbelievable to see a 15 year old girl play such good tennis at a Grand Slam!

Sabatini owned her for years . I think what changed was Sanchez hitting that flat backhand more and Sabatini less likely to hit out on the backhand.

Talk about paint dry , they just loop the ball to each other. Sabatini should have attacked and hit her off the court. Sanchez was still not quite the real deal by this stage.

Hingis loves show her as s

Love a girl friend just like martina back those great days

チェコ出身🇨🇿の偉大な２人👍✨✨🤗 🎾😃☀️

I wonder if Martina regrets not playing the 1990 Australian Open. It had a very weak field (Monica and Arantxa not there, with lots of the other players losing early) and Steffi was not in good form at all.

I couldn’t remember the outcome of this match so i was rooting for Martina the whole time. She was a great champion and so fun to watch. She was plenty gracious in defeat. Obviously disappointed in herself for some missed opportunities. She didn’t play her best and barely lost. Just wasn’t her day. She’s not only a great champion but a strong role model who loved an amazingly brave life. She’s a hero!

15 yo anke VS 14 yo jennifer... best teenager at that time beside monica, maggie & mary 😘😘😘

is there a hq version available for send?

When Jen was confident she had the ability to beat anyone on tour. This would prove to be her biggest event and win prior to her triumph in Australia practically a decade later. She must have felt so much pressure as a mere 16 year old.

Gran Final de Arantxa ❤

Very good training video by Gabriella Sabitini. A real pro. Nice work😮🥰

From 87 onwards Martina had lost her aura the players started to beat her more and more and only won one more GS

Martina choked on 2nd serves ag Matchpoint...

Loved watching Navratilova LOSE!

Steffi looks so sexy without wearing revealing clothes❤

Just curious. Do you also have ASV vs. Hack in the same tournament?

Great player but i found it odd when she said not to use too much topspin , that is what she did and it did slow down her shots and sat in the middle of the court at times .

at 16:00, i don't remember such effect on the ball ever

Mais vídeos de Hingis, por favor.

One of the worst matches I've ever seen ASV play.

Las Gradas estaban todas con Lindsay 😜

Tennis war ein Genuss in unser Zeit !! Stellt Tennis nicht so da als wäre es Übel Dübel!! Bewegung Effekte sind stark zu sehen!! Aufnahmen übel!! Tollen Tag noch !! 🙃🙃🤭❤️

Such an elegant game Gaby had. Those long beautiful strokes were gorgeous to watch.

Hi, I'm sorry if I'm bothering you, very please you have next beautiful tennis matches at your disposal, I'll be very happy for everything that will be possible to see and a big thank you goes to you in advance. Please don't you also have some famous matches of Jana Novotna or even her famous journey through Wimbledon 1998. Thank you very much for your reply Best regards Dominik :)

Thank you so much for this match and your other recent posts! 💚

That second serve from Hingis at the 16:00 mark is maybe the worst serve I’ve ever seen her hit 😳
