I'll never forget watching this match. No one believed Stefi could beat this new young maestra. Hingis, in a terrible moment of hubris, claimed Graf "was old, that her time had passed". This day in tennis history, Stefi showed the world the difference between a great player and an immortal champion.

Steffi Graf My all time favorite... legend.. tennis queen...

I was born in 1988 and my parents named me Steffi as they were, and still are, huge tennis fans. Steffi Graf is one of the greatest players ever!

Epic match! Hingis was ONLY a game away from winning. ONLY a game away! But Graf showed so much composure. Can you believe that? She was such a brilliant athlete. Truly GOAT!

STEFFI GRAF CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS...i still remember my eyes got filled with tears of joy while watching it on television back then....none before STEFFI GRAF and none after STEFFI GRAF..

I don't think we will ever see such a tennis player playing one-handed with such esthetics and without screaming on a tennis court again.

I remember watching this match 23 years ago. How time flies. Very proud of Steffi. Still shine til the end of her career.

A great and memorable match. At last, the true champion showed the arrogant one her right place 👏🏻

Steffi's footwork was masterclass

The most glorious and poetic end to a career. This only happens to the real GOAT, Steffi Graf...

Graf is also the only player in tennis history who has won more than 4 times in each of the four Grand Slams.

I was 14 years old when this match played, and I can remember it so well. I thought Graf was done, was about to turn off the tv, but suddenly felt compelled to stay with her to the end - when you're a fan you feel a sense of kinship with your favourite players, no matter how irrational it really is. Seeing her come back from the brink has got to be my favourite tennis memories.

Stefi's not just a great tennis player, respectful but also real classy! She's my forever my favorite

Steffi is the greatest of all time.

Steffi: one of the greatest warriors I have ever seen.

Graf had so much class and style. She decided to end her legendary career after winning her last grand slam at 29. She didn't wait till her 40s to retire. She stands alone as having won 22 majors before even turning 30.

Steffi: "I feel French" -- love it. Total class act who retired with grace and elegance. A legend whose Golden Grand Slam has yet to be matched.

I've been a huge fan of Steffi, and I remember I also liked Hingis somehow cos she was from my generation along with Anna Kournikova. But I rooted for Steffi 1000% everytime she plays against Hingis. No question. I wish there were more players like Steffi Graf these days, who plays with so much grace and her footwork is just so beautiful! How she moves on court with such elegance, and yet with so much power. I love it!

Steffi Graf was such an immensely talented and classy player. Even though she retired at ONLY at 30 years of age, dealt with injuries (ankle injury, knee surgery and many more), personal problems dealing with her dad Peter Graf's income tax evasion, alcoholism, extramarital affair and generally high unforced errors in her games all throughout her career, she still managed to claim 22 grand slam titles, a golden slam and gold at Seoul Olympics. I still believe Steffi Graf is the GOAT in women's tennis. Women's tennis has never been the same after she retired.

Man, when you watch these older videos you really appreciate how much faster paced the game was. Promptly moving between points, no going for the towel after every point, etc. I guess we all sweat less in the 90s?
