I’m sad Monica lost this. I was in 9th grade rushing home to watch this after finals. Never watched the match again but think I will now. Even though Monica lost I’m so happy Iva won.

[@jakedraper9101]

Me too I was devastated I was rooting for Monica but like u said I was happy that iva majoli won the French Open

[@dougierichardson484]

@@jakedraper9101 Iva beating Hingis in the final was shocking. Imagine being part of a trivia question, Martina Hingis missed a Calendar Grand Slam at age 16 by 1 defeat. Who was that defeat too. Iva Majoli? Who the fuck is that.

[@dinobs308]

What if Hingis stayed in slovakia

[@marksinclair383]

I think the Seles that Hingis beat so many times was not the Seles of the early 90s. If she had faced that player, Hingis would have had the losing record. The following year, Seles absolutely thumped Hingis at RG in the semis.

[@paulbreheny4815]

Seles beat hingis many times

[@dropshot118]

seles woujld have gained weight anyway. She was the butter queen which has tons of calories. Hingis displays her mastery of seles once again

[@evilzzzability]

I think that's true, but at the same time I think Seles' game was quite a straightforward all about hitting hard from the baseline, and the other players would have adapted to it over time. One of the great things about Martina was her variety and reading of the game. She figured out how to counter Seles pretty easy, never letting her settle into a pattern

[@dinh5532]

Define many times...llmao!

[@arineems6059]

@@paulbreheny4815 Ya, like what? 5 to 15 in Hingis’ favor? 🤣

[@peterphilstacey4698]

Hingis is far more talented than Seles, but Seles far more powerful, the key factor here is fitness, if seles was fit , she would win the majority of matches in my opinion, she would over power Hingis, the stabbing was just terrible thing, Robbed us of so many Graf, Seles finals,

[@Ttjam1]

I think Seles had a lot of talent also. Her strokes were technical masterpieces and she was an underrated tactician.

[@fundhund62]

The magical stabbing, again. Can turn a one-sided losing record into a winning record in no time 😂

[@andrews6341]

Seles should have won this. She would have easily beaten Majoli especially on clay.

[@fundhund62]

Yeah. Like she easily beat Sanchez-Vicario the following year.. 😂

[@dropshot118]

SHOULD but didnt. Seles hardly bothered Hingis. she was no goat

[@Thkmra]

@@fundhund62Majoli vs Aranxta…hmmm

[@Samramos4488]

SELES IS THE GOAT IF NOT STABBED WITH KNIFE BY GRAF FAN

[@dropshot118]

if she was the true goat she would have came back to game sooner and dominate. Be more fit with more weapons.

[@Felix79-rv7xn]

​@@dropshot118 That is nonsense. She was traumatized after the stabbing. She was just 19 years old when she was attacked.

[@dropshot118]

@@Felix79-rv7xn she stayed away from the game too long. also addicted to butter. Everyone figured her out. losing h2h against graf, hingis and the WS. she no goat

[@azharydaulay5877]

Until nom im so wondering why Hinggis had been a queen of tennis with a no weapon and much power

A pre stabbing Seles beats Hingus any time. Easily.

[@raghavavd]

this was supposed to be a STEFFI GRAF vs MONICA SELES final if not for amanda coetzer and martina hingis..

[@haneen7aneen2]

Hingis had trouble playing the shadow of Seles, a hard moving Seles that is struggling with self confidence and other issues. Hingis is even worse on grass, but she won because she had no competition whatsoever, playing Kournikova in Semis. I am glad that Majoli won here, otherwise we would've been hearing fairytales stories about her being like Graf and better than Seles and that stuff. Thank you Iva!

[@CarloChapelle]

No she didn’t have trouble with Seles! Hingis dominated their rivalry. And Hingis beat Seles 6-2 6-0 in their first ever meeting in 96.

[@haneen7aneen2]

@@CarloChapelle 1. The post-stabbed Seles was not even close to the pre-stabbed Seles. 2. I was talking about the match here, she hardly beat her in three sets

[@CarloChapelle]

@@haneen7aneen2 Only in this match that Hingis was troubled because she was rusty. Remember Hingis was thrown off a horse and didn’t play the rest of the clay court (after Family Circle) until this French. But over all, with a 15-5 head to head record to Hingis’ favor, she didn’t have trouble with Seles. Maybe the pre-stabbing Seles would be more competitive. But Hingis can handle pace. Hingis has a much better record against Serena, Venus, Davenport. Whereas those 3 power hitters totally dominated Seles.

[@haneen7aneen2]

@@CarloChapelle No she doesn't. Her very first meeting vs Serena, she won 7/6 in the third! Where Hingis was number 1 and Serena was a new commer, most of her wins vs Williams were before their peak. In fact she ran away of competition when she realized that their time has come. Davenport dominated Hingis as well. In 1999 Aus Open Hingis was LUCKY because Davenport list to Mauresmo in SF, she wasn't able to win a match vs Davenport that year

[@CarloChapelle]

@@haneen7aneen2 Wrong. She got injured in 2022 and in fact sued the shoe company Sergio Tachinni. And Serena was already very tough about in 2021 when she was beaten by Hingis at the Australian Open. And after Hingis got beat by Davenport at the 2000 Australian open, Hingis defeated Davenport in straight sets at the 2000 Miami final. And when Hingis cane back in 2006, she beat Sharapova in Tokyo in straights and Venus at the Italian Open. The point is Hingis, despite not being physically sound consistently can still be competitive with the modern players. But Seles was totally “dominated” by the Williams and Davenport. She had only beaten Serena once in 2001 and one time in an exhibition.

[@whyaskwhy000]

Graf’s super slasher fan , made the carefree, risk taking, go for the lines Monica who many tennis pros and commentators believed Monica would be in the conversation of the women’s tennis GOAT. It wasn’t to be. Graf and Germany behaved super shady in all matters concerning the stabbing and graf was and possibly still is a control freak who has to have organization

[@enjangyusuf2ndchannel468]

Monica height is 179 cm?

[@dm7170]

5'10 1/2 Yeah. One of the taller players at the time. It surprised me as well..

[@Mogirl21]

She's 178 cm...

[@fortpegs]

How on earth did Monica lose so many times to such an inferior player?

[@juanantoniobl7550]

Hingins was very smart on court and exploited Seles poor movility and lack of stamina.

[@jujumusique1305]

@@juanantoniobl7550Hingis managed to move her around by hitting a lot of inside out and down the line shots, which were more difficult for Seles to play due to her fitness-related loss of mobility. Whenever Seles was in shape (1998, 2001) this didn’t work and she beat Martina. But in 75% of the matches it went Hingis’ way.

[@fundhund62]

Hingis was a much more complete player, which is reflected in their head-to-head.

[@dm7170]

​@@fundhund62 yeah, she was superior to everyone for all court craft. To win 3 slams & runner up at 16 is something that'll be increasingly appreciated as time passes. It's difficult to put into words how extraordinary she was - A one off.

[@peterphilstacey4698]

fitness for sure, Hingis more talented, but if Seles had been fit , she would have beaten her on most surfaces i would imagine, she would have over powered her

[@Bearaway]

Seles should've been penalized for all that ridiculous shrieking. There's no need for that. Sharapova was another one. Both were unwatchable with the sound on...

[@lemogelangebineng2351]

But players nowadays grunting makes the Seles' let alone Sharapova's seem like they were doing nothing
