Twenty years ago !

One could say it was among the five best womens match of the tournaments history, although i'm extremely fond of 1986 Graf vs Navratilova, 2000 Williams vs. Hingis SF, 1995 Graf vs Seles final and 1984 Evert vs Navratilova final.

Justine nailed a lot of magnificent backhands in this epic !

Jennifer was well past her prime by this point, but she proved that she still had it. This was almost as good at the 1991 match against Seles. Jennifer was easily one of the Top 10 (and possibly Top 5) most talented players in the history of women's tennis. It's a shame that circumstances happened, and we never really got to see her true peak.
