PertSnergleman's Review:
--------------------------------------------
Martina Navratilova heard the future of women’s tennis in 1989 at the $1-million Virginia Slims Championships, and the sound was memorable.
The Navratilova-Seles match began as a seemingly mild battle of wills between an upwardly mobile 15-year-old rookie from Yugoslavia and a 33-year-old veteran intent on proving she need not look backward to gaze on her better days.
Monica Seles’ constant barrage of shots were not a surprise to the 33-year-old Navratilova. The two met in the final of the Virginia Slims of Dallas in September 1989, and Seles held two set points in the first set before losing, 7-6, 6-3.
“I was expecting her power because of Dallas,” said a relieved Navratilova, ''Survival of the fittest,'' Navratilova added, not quite in jest, after advancing to the semifinals of the Virginia Slims Championships for the first time since 1986.
“But she hit one ball tonight that was harder than any ball that’s ever been hit against me. Thank God, the linesman realized it was out, because I could barely even see it. That thing is like a bazooka. I don’t know what’s in her racket. It must be corked.”
“I certainly played well, I can’t deny that,” said Seles, who had leg cramps for the first time in her career. “I just couldn’t win my service games. That’s never happened before.”
For all of Seles’ power, she also has the youthful tendency to hit the ball with only one pace. When that fails, the ball goes out. Only on rare occasions did she alter her stroke for the sake of accuracy.
“I certainly played well, I can’t deny that,” said Seles, who had leg cramps for the first time in her career. “I just couldn’t win my service games. That’s never happened before.”
Enjoy!
