Seles 4 times, Hingis 3 times, Graf 2 times and Pierce 1. Awesome video!!

[@imalwaysright]

So glad Seles was able to win another slam (and make other GS finals) after her 1993 stabbing. Hate that it happened to her. She was on an unstoppable roll: 1990 - Won French Open (beat Graf) 1991 - Won Aus Open 1991 - Won French Open 1991 - (didn't compete Wimbledon) 1991 - Won US Open 1992 - Won Aus Open 1992 - Won French Open (beat Graf) 1992 - Wimbledon final (lost to Graf) 1992 - Won US Open 1993 - Won Aus Open (beat Graf)

[@samprovenzanorptr]

Unreal!

[@brahicmorgan8893]

She was 55-1 in GS before stabbing, starting 1991 Aus Open. No one else did that.

[@techexpress01]

She also lost 2 tournament finals to Graf in 91.

[@aureliengdt5932]

She was phenomenal

[@rs5516]

Omg Seles is so cool

[@tobiasisback4605]

Seles was sweet at the net, you can see she felt for her beaten opponents.

[@gregorymaiuri]

Nice upload! Thank you! The most entertaining match imo is the 98 final, Hingis v Martinez.. Martinez will make you play. It's the most involved match point of the decade. Love wrapping up the 90's with a Hingis hattrick..

[@hpfme]

Seles was unbeatable in AO before she got stabbed. Even won 1 after. Could you imagine if that did not happened to her?

[@aureliengdt5932]

AO 1993 she was very impressive

[@dinh5532]

Didn't hingis make 6 consecutive finals? That must be near the top...

Steffi's 1990s AO run: 1990 - won 1991 - QF 1992 - did not play 1993 - Finale 1994 - won 1995 - did not play 1996 - did not play 1997 - 4th Round 1998 - did not play 1999 - QF

[@lesandres23]

Seles ❤️

[@jiromarc7873]

Seles dominated for consecutive years. OMG she was that good. Everyone knows what happened next.. i love her so much.

[@LDVTennis]

Interesting to note how the competition at the AO and Wimbledon diverged after the 80's. In the 80's, the same players were winning both tournaments (most of the time). With the change of surface (i.e., rebound ace), that stopped.

[@FlabbyTitmuss]

Obviously. Duh!

[@imalwaysright]

Hard to not remember Hingis reportedly making snide comments about Mauresmo in 1999.

[@johnhaakmat8861]

I know right?!

[@reno9882]

she was a 18y old girl telling stupid things like every kids. Chill bro. She is now a 40 old woman, already assumed it was a stupid commentariy and she have a good relation with Mauresmo since many years. They just move on, do the same.

[@fundhund62]

It wasn't even that bad. She was asked about Davenport's earlier comments ("sometimes when I looked at the other side of the net it felt like I was playing a man") and jokingly added that Mauresmo was "half a man" and that "she came here with her girlfriend". The whole conversation was in Swiss German, which is impossible to understand for non swiss people. Some languages have a way of expressing things in a manner that doesn't translate well to other languages. I don't know if that's the case with Swiss German, but it's possible. And don't forget, even Swiss German wasn't her native language. So I don't actually think it's a big deal.

[@Tennisisreallyfun]

It was rather sad, but I suppose those were the times. But she didn’t let those comments bring her down. She won Wimbledon! And so did Bartoli in the face of fat shaming, and Seles came back and won the AO after the trauma of the stabbing. I think these days we tend to throw around “triumph in the face of adversity” a little too often and with too little care. But these women definitely deserve that phrase in my view (even though a stabbing is on a far greater scale than hateful comments all your career, but still, I think the point still remains).

[@jmnny85]

Queen Monica!

[@jmcd31]

Some of the early 90s victories and the way they react seem quite tame compared to nowadays.

[@praveenw.4393]

Because it's more competitive and much harder

[@hero0149]

In the old days, even if the players won, they didn't exaggerate their joy until they shook hands with their opponents. Are today's players overjoyed?

[@imalwaysright]

players are more friendly on the tour and unafraid to express their emotions. Those old days were depressing and very misogynistic

[@teddyirons8240]

@@imalwaysright They were neither depressing nor misogynistic. Back then, the Australian Open wasn't considered as important as Wimbledon.

[@Tennisisreallyfun]

Are they overjoyed??? Why don’t you try achieving something great and see how you feel! Has cancel culture really gone so far where we’re uncomfortable with people expressing well-deserved (they only slugged their way through a bloody tennis tournament) happiness? How sad🤦🏻‍♂️

[@anggungunara]

Plenty of one sided finals, some were really anticlimatic. Only Seles - Novotna and Seles - Graf went to deciders. Trend continued to the first two finals of the next century. Luckily four big ones followed, and we've had some good ones and some duds later on.

[@samprovenzanorptr]

Seles 🐐

[@tomgraham3206]

Seles probably would have won at least a couple more had she not been stabbed too.

[@bettinahansen7630]

Absolutely!

[@coachbtvla]

Aside from that one set from Novotna, every AO final in the 90s were so straightforward 🫢

[@praveenw.4393]

Because it was dominated by just 2 or 3 women

[@gastonromero4603]

Seles i love u so much ❤❤❤

[@ZATennisFan]

Steffi Graf IMHO the absolute goat of women's tennis and the owner of the best pair of legs to ever grace a tennis court❤

[@imalwaysright]

Can't ignore what Seles was deprived of. Missed out on 10 Slams because of her stabbing by a disgusting Graf fan. Seles had 8 Slams, was on an roll in 1991-1993 Aus Open, only losing one Wimbledon to Graf, and beating her in many of the slams.

[@LDVTennis]

@@imalwaysright 3 out of 9 is NOT "many." ... As to that Wimbledon loss, it was a bigger match than any of the matches Steffi lost to Seles. If Seles had won that match, she would have gone on to complete a calendar grand slam. Only losing, right!!!

[@imalwaysright]

@@LDVTennis In 1991, 1992 and up until 1993 AO (the last Slam before the stabbing), Seles WON 👏 EVERY 👏 GRAND 👏 SLAM 👏 except 1991 Wimbledon (didn't compete) and 1992 Wimbledon loss. 7 SLAM TROPHIES out of 9. After the 1991 US Open win, she was the #1 ranked player until the stabbing. When they met in the finals in that 1991-1993 era, Seles won 2-1, including the 1993 AO Slam. Graf didn't make the final of the other Slams Seles won.
