    seles could have gotten the record for the most grand slam single titles won as a teenager in all era, had she not been stabbed, because in 1993 she could have won french and us open, and possibly wimbledon, to surpass maureen connolly record of 9 grand slam single titles won as a teenager.

    One of Monica's biggest strength Pre Stabbing was her mental toughness, fearlessness and extreme confidence! On crucial moments of a match. while others gets tight and nervous....Seles goes for it even more.. hits the ball harder and closer to the lines ! Such a tremendous match player! This was all gone when she came back in 1995! She was never the same player after that horrific crime!

    Seles hit the ball a LOT harder on her comeback. She just did not have movement. Back in the early 90s she was a great retriever and rarely made errors. Graf and Capriati hit the ball much harder.

    It also highlighted how lacking in depth tennis was by around this stage and pre 1995 . Sanchez was ok and Hingis was only just starting. Gabriela Sabatini and Martinez could have done better given their power but chose not to attack and hit mid court topspins that were wallopped away by big hitters. You could see the game got too powerful for them when they did not have time to hit out on their topspins and started to reverting to slicing because they did not have the time to use that big swing , they should have flattened out their shots more against Graf and Seles and Sanchez @@jjsggg1465

    Graf really played in a perfect era for her. She came in while Martina and Evert were at the end of their career and were about to retire. Then Seles came around and were winning GS back to back, but soon she was stabbed and could never fully recovered. Hence, no rivals for a long long period. Once the WIlliams sisters arrived, Graf retired early. She probably did not want to battle against Serena, Venus, Davenport, and even Hingis. To that I really admire Seles kept playing for more years, for the love of the sport I think.

    These two changed the game more than any two players ever, IMO (they would've still been elite in the big babe era 10-15 years later, but nobody from the 70s or even 80s would've been able to compete with them in the 90s). They would've continued producing classic matches at RG, clay was definitely the surface on which they were most evenly matched (neither were at their peak in 92 and they still gave us the greatest final ever). Also appreciate how this RG final is like the one Graf/Seles matchup where the comment section isn't (usually) just littered with their stans foolishly arguing one was far superior to the other; they both finish with around 18-20 slams in an ideal world (yes, the math checks out) but I guess we'll never know.

    There are two Graf matches that I can't watch to the end: her 1999 Wimbledon loss to Davenport and this one. Regarding the former, I think it has something to do with not wanting to see my favourite player end her career with a loss. I still wish she could have completed the back-to-back slams. With the latter, I just feel like she should have won this match, but the loss speaks to a certain stubbornness in her game, an unwillingness to adapt to the Seles challenge that cost her the match. Still, even though I can't watch it right to the end, both players are a marvel to watch.

    Monica Seles is renowned for her use of a double-handed grip on both her forehand and backhand shots, a technique she employed for the majority of her shots. However, determining her dominant hand solely based on her gameplay can be challenging. Without observing her serve, it's difficult to definitively classify her as either left- or right-handed.

    Seles was really disliked at this time by watchers and other players especially as she came over as quite cold and arrogant also she would win 60 60 and say things like "it was a tough match at times " and laugh in press conferences sarcasticly. Even when she won matches she would give cold handshakes . Graf was like this also too to be fair though. Sabatini was very different she was always very nice either way. Though tbf Seles was very young also the screaming was a bit of a factor.

    Monica Seles was playing two hands on both sides and, when she had to, one hand on both side also. Is this unique in tennis? I read that when she return 2-3 years after her so tragic aggression, they others players, except Sabatini, insisted that she started with 0 point.

    Graf can be hard-headed at times. This is one match where she could have varied her match play so much more, making Seles run from end to end, from front to back, with more dropshots just to keep Seles from any rhythm. but she allowed herself to play the Seles game and therefore lost, even though playing that game it was still a very close match....

    Seles is like the bo jackson of tennis. A lot of what ifs. I’d go so far as to say her getting attacked dampened the status of Graf just as much as it did her. You measure greatness by who greatness plays against and without seles, you have to wonder if either of them in their prime could have taken on Serena.
