One of the best matches of the year in 1991 was the semi Graf vs. Navratilova, which Martina won fair and square. It was a well played match by both players, I must admit.irma said:
Martina barely played on clay in the 90's, she would even miss the French because she knew in the early 90s she still had a good chance at Wimbledon and would save herself for the grass. I don't think it was to avoid Steffi Graf. Everyone who played with a Yonex racquet HAD to play the Pan Pacific, I think it was in the contract, so that might explain why Martina would avoid Australia but play Japan the week after. It looks like it was a good rivalry, I think if Martina consistently attacked Steffi's backhand she would always have a chance which is probably why Martina still pushed Steffi into 3 sets even when she was 36, 37.alfajeffster said:
My point exactly. 6 of the last 8 matches is pretty convincing evidence.DA FOREHAND said:
I promise not to- WAY too much evidence on the record books there. It would be like a Steffi-Sanchez Vicario or Steffi-Sabatini thread, kinda useless. Actually, I'd much rather talk about the classic players like Court, King, Goolagong, Wade, Bueno, but very few people here seem to care about those players any more.bilal said:
