Classic Tennis : 1994 U.S Open final - Graf vs. Sanchez-Vicario

[Vince Evert]

the whole match but it's in spanish audio.

interested to see the final duration was 2hrs 7 minutes, not 2 hrs 14 minutes as was stated on AI which i posted yesterday.

scroll to 1:58.30 point and view the final game, where Sanchez-V is serving for the match - a ten minute battle ensues by both champions, wonderful to see even 32 years later

Tbh, the quality of this final was not that great. Graf was injured, for one (remember, she lost in the first round at Wimbledon and missed the following Australian Open). I really wish that Seles and Capriati were healthy and available to play at this time.

i seem to recall she hurt her back near the end of the second-set in the US Open final, not the first round at Wimbledon.
Also Graf lost in the RG semi-final, might be to Mary Pierce, not sure.

oh yeah, Tony Trabert really put her in a bad position when he interviewed Graf after the final, do yu remember?, when he asks her "what effect did your back injury have on the outcome of the final?" the crowds then booed.
Steffi, ever the great champion, denied her back was a factor in her defeat.
